Heartbreaking.. and all the while it creates a sense of comfort. 
Throughout the whole story I loved the overlying theme of coming to terms with the inevitable; i.e. death. 
The overall melancholic story, sprinkled with hints of the joys of life brought by others, was the perfect amount of ups and downs to make you value every little moment that life gives you. 

"Life is not a zero-sum game. It owes us nothing, and things just happen the way they do. 
Sometimes they're fair and everything makes sense; 
sometimes they're so unfair we question everything. I pulled the mask off the face of Fate. and all I found beneath it was chance."
