Rufus ultimately turns to Last Friend and meets Mateo, who awes Rufus with both his kindness and his fears. He vows to die a good person, but his attempt to have a meaningful funeral fails when the police arrive to arrest him. Rufus doesn’t see himself as a violent person, so the thought that beating Peck could be his last act is disturbing. However, everything changes when Rufus receives his call from Death-Cast while he’s in the process of beating up Peck. Despite these circumstances, Rufus tries to make the best of it-he turns to his foster siblings, Malcolm, Tagoe, and Aimee (whom he calls the “Plutos”) for support, and he loves riding his bike. After this, Rufus ended up in foster care, and his girlfriend Aimee recently broke up with him and began dating Peck, whom Rufus hates. Rufus’s last six months have been almost unbearable: he watched his parents and sister, Olivia, drown after their car drove into the Hudson River. Rufus is one of the novel’s protagonists he’s a 17-year-old Cuban American boy in foster care.
