Actualy I think the death is a nice part of the game. It had kinda become a taboo subject, like if death was something horrible that we must absolutely not think about or be super afraid by it. But death is just part of life. Here we have the story of a nice grandma who, once her time has come, make sure that the creature she love are safe and then go in peace. And this is adorable, there is no need to transform the story to remove the part that show a peacfull and 'happy' death just to preserve the taboo. I wish we were exposed to more of these kind of 'gentle' death in our current media.
