>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 5 11:43:03 2020 No.16054407 >>16053744 Absolutely most would reject it out of hand! Maybe the inclusion of suicide is to highlight his overall experience of despondency? And choosing to drink coffee instead is not simply to reject suicide, but to express his lack of motivation.
