The ending argument could have been much more fun if you would have allowed it to be. One, I like your stories because they are though provoking. I really like ironic and funny stories, too. Nonjon or Cloneserpent would be classic examples of authors that do well in that category. I would think that, if you applied yourself, that you, too, could do well in that category. You rarely embrace the opportunity to take that biting argument and switch it over to wit. I wish that you would. You may find that you writing improves with allowing it. It was almost funny, in the end, almost, but the serious undertone ruined the humor for me. I look forward to your next update.
