I read this story recently and somehow it wasn't quite what I expected it to be... It's been awhile since a short-ish story left an emotional impact on me like this. I think it's largely because, for whatever reason, I didn't expect the ending and it kind of veered left for me. I think with the warning I'm giving, people will kind of get the ending before it happens but it caught me offguard.
Quite a heavy read. Well done execution. And yet... I was disappointed, a bit.
Still, it's something that surprised me which rarely happens for me these days, and I do find myself thinking about the story afterward.
As for something else short, https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/my-broken-mariko I read this recently and quite liked it. It's to the point about dealing with the aftermath of someone's suicide, but I just felt it was a very tidy, complete look that was efficient about its use of time and drama.
