A Young Man’s Battle for Autonomy in His Final Days
Facing his own mortality, our young hero simply wants to spend his remaining time doing what he loves: gaming and reading. But his aunt, with her own ideas of what constitutes a ‘fulfilling’ end, suggests a series of activities that he finds neither appealing nor meaningful. The tension escalates, culminating in a heated exchange. In a twist of irony, he suggests that his aunt, with her reckless driving record, might meet her end before him. This leaves his family in a state of turmoil, questioning who is in the wrong. But all he yearns for is to live his last days on his own terms. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this emotional rollercoaster…
