When you think about it, Kuma—Kutner made the most sense, as one-dimensional they kept his character; lets House struggle with the unknowable mystery of another. The only person I personally knew who committed suicide was among my headbanger clique in high school (or was it stoner, I can’t quite remember the prevailing term, as much as the black T-shirt, tight jeans and Indian boots). I remember clearly the large Teutonic assistant principal making a veiled announcement of her passing over the PA in a broken voice. The Vietnamese girl who saw her parents murdered in front of her, she broke down often, but survived. Perspective reminds us that over 200 real people lost their lives in yesterday’s earthquake, and with every one of them also went a microcosm of experience and interpretation not even God’ll be able to sort out.
