why- in the world is there one more thing left?

bren is so fucking tired- he doesn't want to have to deal with any of this anymore, his best friend is gone, his boyfriend who he took a chance on, who gave him everything, blamed him for something that didn't even happen, and ruined the little social circle he had left- what is there to do now? faced with one more final challenge, he finds love in one last completely unexpected place- but how in the world could he trust it? but- what in the world did he have to lose? he didn't expect the afterlife to be so /real/.
