Dalma Young Character Analysis

Dalma is the founder of the Last Friend app; she’s a beautiful black woman with an Afro. Dalma vacillates between being extremely proud of what she’s done through Last Friend and being horrified by it. She believes firmly that no one deserves to live or die alone, but she also finds the ways that people abuse the app horrifying—she almost sells her app when a serial killer begins using Last Friend to find victims. However, she focuses on the good it does, especially after meeting Gabriella and Zoe on the subway and learning how much Gabriella loves the app. She shares that she’d spend her End Day with her half-sister, Dahlia, and that her last social media status would be to tell people to find their community.

I don’t know if he’s playing it off like he doesn’t know this from my Last Friend profile or if he’s impacted by this piece of history between me and my sister or if he overlooked this on my profile and is some ass who cares about who other people kiss. I hope not. We’re friends now, hands down, and it’s not forced. I met this kid a few years ago because some creative designer somewhere developed an app to forge connections. I’d hate to disconnect.
