Something you request right before you die. Sometimes offered to you by your executioner, in which case you might ask for something seemingly innocuous, but pivotal to your narrow escape stratagem or even Thanatos Gambit. You might also be offered one last choice of dish which isn't good for escape but at least you die full. And you might ask them to Get It Over With, which tends to be not what they expect. A common comedy version is asking to not be killed. See also One Last Smoke for a character indulging a charming partiality one last time. Examples of Last Request include:

You can also transfer your responsibilities to someone else with your last breath. Asking someone to take care of your family, deliver a message, avenge you, or generally keep up the good fight is almost playing low though, as a deathbed promise even by request, is very hard to refuse and nearly unbreakable -- even if no one would ever know. (Though if you are Dying as Yourself, you may have no choice.) This can be made especially touching with a Pieta Plagiarism, or even Cradling Their Kill! Occasionally a near-death scene will be faked, in order to get someone to agree to something; most often played for comedy. Tends to be called a Dying Wish if you're lying around and dying slowly.
