The first time Benny's world ended was when Nikko stopped being his best friend. The second? When Nikko dies eight years later and Benny has no idea how, or what to do with the guilt he has left over. Using his conditional immortality— a power granted to Benny when Death spared him all those years back, a power he swore never to use again —Benny ventures into the In-Between to find Nikko and bring him back to the living before his soul drifts away forever.

“We’re always thirteen in my dreams. And now Nikko will be twenty-two forever.”
