We the students of my faculty, received very solemn news on Thursday evening- that one of our seniors had suddenly passed away.

Maeba-san had just come back from Birmingham on Monday morning. He went to our Faculty even, the next day to meet&greet some teachers and friends. He and some friends were just going out to look for a place to drink when he had suddenly disappeared. The police found that he had committed suicide that same night by jumping in front of a train at Rokko-michi. He had only just come back to Japan.

Nobody really understands why he did it. He was a popular person and had so many friends. He was in charge of the camp activities that everybody had to go to in my year, and was very active in Uni - everybody knew him. The professors and the friends who were with him that night are all blaming themselves. Nazuna's in shock, Ithink - she hasn't spent a night alone since and last night she was with me and Aurelie. She said she'd barely slept and pretty much collapsed on the futon last night... and she's still sleeping. She had gone to the funeral, too.
