    I can probably choose a more fitting location, like inside a … you know what, I’ll just keep that to myself, lol!

    But yeah, no idea how crowded the place is, but if it’s indeed a statement, one could choose more crowded locations, which would create more impact.

      @megane_kun it doesnt have to be a place with lots of people methinks. Its just a message for someone out there or a cry for help maybe? Its like I-wanna-die-but-not-really-just-enough-to-severely-injure-myself-as-an-act-of-self-sabotage kinda attempt.

      Anw, i dont know why im indulging in this lol not like I can speak for the semi dead but not really guy who did jump off

        Ah~!‌ I get it now. I was conflating the “terrorist” angle with the “cry for help” angle.

        True though, I’m also indulging in this train of thought (pun not intended, maybe?) just because. Personally, I’d rather the deed be unseen and unable to be stopped by anyone, but that’s just me.
