Silence

Metal illneses may lead to suicide or ill person can died because he/she do not eat or ate something inedible but we cannot tell someone "died from mental illness" I think, beside acute catatonia states of course.

Room 114S

It doesn't matter what it is. It looks beautiful and scary... And it turn on our imagination. And makes us thinking about poor souls kept here - and that is the most important.
