But before they can even enjoy the bromance, the whole world starts freaking out about this unlikely pair.
Everything changes when Death and Sparkles meet and realize they might just be one another\'s first chance at a real friend.
Maybe it seems like the whole world wants to be your bestie, but really people just want you to pose with them for selfies, or use you to help them sell stuff.
Being Sparkles the Last Unicorn isn\'t as fun as you\'d imagine, either.
Sure, you\'re all-powerful, but collecting souls involves a ton of paperwork, and it\'s impossible to have friends when everything you touch instantly dies.
Being Death is no way to live.
