In this kind of environment James’s deep depression is not surprise to me. Eve-though he does have a suicidal thoughts it doesn’t mean he would kill himself assuring Olivia. His answer to Olivia’s question whether he has suicidal thoughts was kind of unnatural (normal for a person with a deep depression I guess) I believe his thoughts of his family is preventing him from doing something unimaginable.
His dreams sounded kind of claustrophobic when he said: “....but the cave never widened, it got narrower. And there was no light at the end, it just got so narrow I felt like it was crushing me and I couldn’t breathe.”
He is opening to Olivia more and more, he is rewinding his answers he gave to Olivia assuring himself they all were true.
At the end his depression is getting so deep he eventually sliced his face, did he really?
Loved this part!
Resteemed!
