Seems like battling with depression and thoughts of suicide, you stop going out, you stop talking to friends, you stop interacting with the world, and that's exactly how depression gets at you even better. Vanessa calls to cheer him up but he's still depressed and feels like there is emptiness inside. Tilly calls and tries to sooth his heart and mind but it just tears him up more. The only way out he can see from the pain is suicide, and they do their utmost to convince him otherwise, but by the end of the night he has shot himself in the head. Then his friend Mary hauls all his stuff away
