Because what's the point of being the last person on Earth if your story has a happy ending?
You may never have ever done anything particularly noteworthy in your past life, but if nothing else, you can at least die with the knowledge that you were the last. Humanity's final survivor. The one who outlived everyone else in the world. The winner.
You don't care that she thinks your death is meaningless. To accept that would be to accept in the meaninglessness of humanity as a whole, and you simply can't bring yourself to do that.
All good things come to an end eventually, and you're just grateful for the privilege of being the one person in a hundred billion to be able to witness it first hand.
Death has plagued the human species for millenia, and you can't really see a reason why you should be any different.
Yes, your resistance is stupid and illogical and selfish and arrogant and a hundred other things, but you don't care. The one thing that it isn't is meaningless. This is the way that humanity was always meant to go out. This is the way that humanity deserves to go out. And you're not about to call it quits now, not when the finish line is so close at hand.
Please. Just let me die alone with my pride. That's the only thing I ask for.
