And how else would a slave who wants out get out, Jeremy?
Yes, she's depressed, but sometimes suicide can also be an act of protest--as per the monks who set themselves on fire in government protests, or hunger strikes. The shitty part of it is the way she did it, that she left Jeremy to pick up the pieces, and she didn't think it through enough to do it right the first time.
Is it really maladjusted to want to leave a toxic world permanently? I cannot say. I do think that if Marisa were less depressed, she would have been patient enough to ask to get out, and to wait for the group to find a way for her to leave. But instead, she saw no other way to solve her problems, which settles the issue in my mind.
Awesome job on writing the tightrope between depression and the agony that is that universe.
