In two frisks is weird.

People who are suicidal, really suicidal, may act depressed, but when they finally make a decision, they act normal and carry on as normal. So the telling the girlfriend really doesn't raise any flags with me.

Strangely enough, my evidence of this is the suicide of the director who jumped off a bridge. He had been working with his brother earlier that day, and his brother didn't even notice.
