Heartwarming / They Both Die At The End

Go To

  • Mateo giving a homeless man money despite Rufus' warnings that it could be a trick. The homeless man is grateful, and Rufus realizes what a Nice Guy Mateo is.
  • When the train is stalled inside the tunnel, Rufus convinces Mateo to get some sleep. Mateo, who'd been somewhat wary of Rufus, especially after learning about him being wanted by the police, starts to feel at ease around Rufus.
    I rest my head back while holding the toy sanctuary in my lap. The light is no longer on me. I can still feel Rufus’s eyes on me, though it’s probably in my head. At first it feels weird, but then nice, even if I’m wrong, because it feels like I have a personal guardian looking out for my time.
    My Last Friend is here for the long run.
  • In a mix of this trope and Tear Jerker, Mateo reflects on how he didn't think his Missing Mom was much of a mother because she was't really there in his life, but his dad tells him that she put her son first.
  • The interlude in which Gabriella befriends a woman named Zoe, even though Zoe is a Decker and Gabriella is not. Zoe gives Gabriella a book as a gift, hoping she will continue to befriend Deckers.
    Life isn't meant to be lived alone. Neither are End Days.
  • Officer Andrade lets Rufus' friends off with a warning, knowing that Rufus isn't going to cause any more trouble on his Last Day and so that they can possibly see him again.
  • Mateo and Rufus' kiss at the club.
