^^^^Do not know what your son said, but looking at it the whole series is an unhappy ending for much of the people of the Second World--we can only assume the First World as well. All of the kids are dead, Second World Yuno was hatchetted by First World Yuno, parents dead, et cetera. The only happy ending is for the people of the Third World. Third World Yuno lives and her parents undergo therapy/counseling. Third World Yuki is more adjusted, actually dating, and his parents are not complete disasters. Large amounts of kids to not get blown up, bent, folded, spindled, or otherwise mutilated.

So it depends on perspective. But that is the tragedy First World Yuno experiences--she cannot save the dead, no matter how much she tries, to the point she loses pretty much all of her empathy and humanity. Her sacrifice of herself is the only "good" thing she did since long ago in the First World.

Could be worse. . . could be Higurashi!
