Death and Other Occupational Hazards

I loved the dark humor but wondered if the author aimed to make death feel more approachable or satirical. What was the creative intention behind blending comedy with such heavy themes?

The idea of death as a career hazard gave the story a fresh perspective, but I’m curious if this setting was chosen to highlight the absurdity of modern work life or to serve the mystery plot.

The tone shifts felt natural, but I wonder what went into the decision to keep the humor light rather than diving into more serious or grim territory.
