Big fan of the prose, but the dialogue feels kind of stilted, like you made your characters talk for the benefit of the story, rather than them being people. I dunno, kind of a nitpick, but when I'm reading I like to forget than "an author made it", if you get it.
Other than that, the reflection at the end was very nice, if a bit rushed. Again, it felt more like you as an author said 'ok, end of story, time to present the thesis' rather than it coming up naturally. I like that you treat the audience with respect and let us draw our own conclusions while also stating what you wanted to say, but I guess the keyword is... well, stating. There wasn't 'enough' before to really show that. I dunno.
Solid entry nonetheless c:
