What a nice piece to close on. I appreciate a good feels story and this one definitely is short but sweet.
Sinbell as a character showed a lot of angst and disdain from the way he wasn't able to express himself nor stand up for the situation he was in, but kids aren't supposed to be level headed at such a young age. It felt like a more believable tale because of the sporadic nature of a child wanting to be accepted while having the same life style as everyone else.
The story does a fantastic job at having the mother show her love as unrequited as possible. The author's notes at the end only put more of the story into a better perspective which I commend them for being able to speak up about themselves.
