Dude… what are you doing to me?
Though now I understand what you meant when you wrote “You already know the ending”… 
And you even added the line I mentioned!
At least that managed to put a smile on my devastated face for a moment, lol.
But for real, the story was beautifully written, and the fact that he didn’t die alone in the dark, but instead in the glowing embrace of what he discovered, makes it feel once again like a peaceful ending, not an unsettling one.
You’re truly a master of hopeful, bittersweet endings.
There really should be a word for that…
Hopegedy? Tragihope?
Anyway, great work as always :3
