Super interesting first act and overall structure, plus great performances all around. Really clever way of showing how bad climate catastrophe could be, then pulling back from insisting that's how it will be. The moment when the boy asked about his multitudes dying with him and the teacher avoided the question seemed quietly tragic. Unfortunately, the whole last act magic attic subplot felt pretty random. The ending didn't have much of a point and didn't feel connected to the stakes presented.
