In just Norwegian Wood, there were four different characters that ended up offing themselves in some way or another. Two of them died by hanging, one died by slitting her wrists, and another (chronologically the first) died by poisoning (inhaling exhaust from his car). In 3 of them, the run-up to actual event reminded me a lot of some experiences I've had with some friends of mine who've attempted suicide in the past, one man in particular. It was eerie how closely things lined up.

If a friend you know to be in a bad way magically 180s all of a sudden and starts acting confident, cheery, and strongly motivated by something, in many cases, you should probably be afraid.
