Suicide

Suicide is an occasional theme in the series. Alice, a central character in Alice's Narrative and The Cat's Narrative, appears to suffer from bipolar disorder and struggles with suicidal thoughts when confronted with emotionally challenging events, such as Angelica's departure.

A 28-year-old woman described in The Reinhardt Corporation Narrative, Post 35, who has spent most of her life in the Feed Realm but risks being cut off from it, considers Cortical Suicide (presumably a form of suicide available in the Feed Realm) but decides against it.
