You sure about this?

F***...

Come on.

Talk.

I don't know why

I didn't see the signs.

I should've been there;

done something.

Sometimes,

there aren't any signs.

This was an intensely lonely

young man.

More than you can ever know.

He was very skilled

at hiding his loneliness.

And when he couldn't hide it

anymore, he hid himself.

Have you ever felt

that kind of loneliness?

Hmm?

Don't worry. I read your book.

I'm not a suicide risk.

You psych students,

you all have a tendency

to resist self-analysis.

Don't.

Don't avoid your fears.

Confront them.

You can keep your emotions down

for a while,

but somehow, some way,

they will come out;

and they will be

even more painful

and more destructive.

Do you understand that?

Hey.

You good?

Everything's

going to be okay.

It has to be a virus.

I mean, his computer is

probably still logged on.

It's just hitting

his address book.

They said, "Help me."

Yeah, but viruses always have

some important-sounding sh*t.

I mean, just the other day,

I got one that said,

"Urgent, Stone. Read me now."

I mean, that's a natural

occurrence.

- It happens all the time...

- That was from me, you idiot.

Damn.

That was pretty strong.

Well, someone should at least

log Josh's computer off.

I'd do it, but I don't want

to go back over there.

All right, I'll go.

Thanks.

Yeah...

There was something so strange

about him

when I went over there...

like he wasn't himself.

But he really wasn't. It...

It was like looking

at a different person.

Why did he do it?

I don't know.

And I think that's

what's driving me crazy...

that I didn't see it coming.

None of us did, okay?

You know, it's not all on you.

Are you still getting

those messages?

Yeah. What's the deal?

Did Stone not get over there?

You know, he didn't even

show up to class today.

I haven't spoken to him.

Hello?

Hey, Stone.

Hey, Izzie.

It's Mattie.

What's up, Mattie?

Are you still getting

those messages from Josh?

I haven't signed on.

I've just been kind of leaving

my computer alone.

Did you log off Josh's computer?

Did you turn it off?

Are you okay?

I just been kind of down,

you know?

Yeah, I know.

We all are.

Oh, my God.

You here to see the apartment?

Well, take a look.

New paint.

Gonna have new carpet.

You won't beat the rent.

Mm-mm!

The guy who lived here

was a friend of mine.

I need his computer.

Computer?

What'd you do with it?

I don't know nothing

about no computer.

His computer was

right over there,

with all the rest of his stuff.

Girl, you better get out

of my face

or I'm calling the police.

Why don't I call the police?

All right.

All right! Don't get crazy.
