I cried.   And I'm not sure about conscious decision, but I'd grant a
*subconscious* sacrifice.  I really liked that he didn't take the feel-good
easy way out (like he ever does!), that there's tragedy to color the beauty and
the triumph.  There's a bittersweet quality to his work I like very much in
part because I don't see it often enough in other fiction.
