You can also transfer your responsibilities to someone else with your last breath. Asking someone to take care of your family, [[Bring News Back|deliver a message]], [[Best Served Cold|avenge you]], or generally [[Take Up My Sword|keep up the good fight]] is almost playing low though, as a deathbed promise even by request, is very hard to refuse and nearly [[I Gave My Word|unbreakable]]—even if [[What You Are in the Dark|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]]!
