It's a good story, but at the same time I have to be honest I don't really feel a lot of emtions towards the narator. It's probably in some part due to bias as really by that point it seems like a clear choice to me since the story makes them feel pretty surrounded to the point they're probably going to die anyway.

Not knowing the narator I can't feel their moral delima. I can't feel that moral delima for myself either unfortunately, which I feel like probably aids others in feeling the emotional response to this. Living for others is tiring as it is when they're living, living for the dead isn't living at all really it's hollow and survival at best. Plus, again, the odds are so stacked against them even they feel like they're going to die. Logically that's the time to cut your losses and get it over with, there's no attoning to be had.

I mean, again it's a good story. It's well written! Just with so little information it's hard not to look at it and go yeah you're boned and you know it so just do it.
