Wow, very impressed, nicely done. Moving piece, loved the music for it too. The biggest takeaway for me is the ending… the innocence of a child coupled with the harsh reality of what’s in store for them just a few short years away.

I really love the grade on this, very subtle and really feels like a world removed from the one I’m familiar with.
