You've known your friend Thomas since college, but just yesterday you found out about something you still can't wrap your head around... He's immortal. Like, truly immortal. He can't die or be killed at all... And he's much older than you thought. Not in his 20s like you imagined, but in his 200s.

Ever since he shared this information with you, he's been acting strange. You've always been close, and he's always been kind of a flirt, but you just chalked it up to being part of your friendship. Later on, he asks you out. He takes you to a nice restaurant, gets you the most expensive, decadent things on the menu... But at the end of the meal he leans in and says something that makes your blood run cold.

"You know, being immortal isn't as fun as it sounds. I've lost... Everything... Everything I first knew and loved is gone now, I've lost so many friends and lovers... Everything I care about is temporary... But it won't be for much longer. Through all this time, no one has made me happier than you have... So I want you to join me. No, you will join me."
