I don't think that a hopeful note is a contradiction to the vibe of the story. I mean the short story on it's own is rather dark, but I think the melody of the music (and Yoasobi music in general) feels rather joyous and hopeful.
I for my part--and there we come to the answer to your question as well--am also planning something that puts the whole topic into perspective ... In a way creating the same story in the way I would have done it.
I know I said that I won't write anything, and with contests >5k words I probably would have kept to that, but I guess such a short story can still be fit in somewhere in my current schedule 😅 But I think, I'll keep it with only one entry. Maybe, if I get another great idea, I'll do a second one, but as of now, that's not my plan. We'll see!
Oh, and if you're not sure about what you came up with, I am hereby offering my free-of-charge services as a beta reader to you! 😉 (Even though I'm rather sure it won't be a blunder this way or another 😁)
