Kylian Mbappe & Neymar
A life-flashing-before-your-eyes moment is when a person's memories rapidly play through their mind as they are about to die.
Mbappe recalled the sunny smile in his memories, and a long-lost, genuine smile appeared on his weary face.
If he could, he would give anything for the two of them to have a second chance.
A space-time tunnel opened.
Mbappe returned to the summer of 2017 and shouted in despair, “That homeless guy is a jinx! There's no way I'm worth only two million euros.”
Neymar happened to be passing by and only heard the second half. He waved at him with a smile and said, “Mbappe, don't lose heart. I'm worth two million too.”
Neymar: “Who are you calling? My name is Kylian.”
