“We’re young! We’re supposed to drink too much, we’re supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each others brains out. We are designed to party! This is it! Yeah, so a few of us will overdose, or go mental. But Charles Darwin said, ‘You can’t make an omlette, without breaking a few eggs.’ And that’s what it’s all about, breaking eggs. And by eggs, I do mean, getting twatted on a cocktail of class A’s! If you could just see yourselves. It breaks my heart; you’re wearing cardigans! We had it all. We fucked up, bigger, and better than any generation that came before us! WE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL! We’re screw ups. I’m a screw up. And I plan to be a screw up, until my late twenties, maybe even my early thirties. And I will shag my own mother, before I let her, or anyone else, take that away from me!”

Aokigahara (青木ヶ原), also known as the Sea of Trees (樹海 Jukai), is a 35 km2 forest that lies at the north west base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest contains a number of rocky, icy caverns, a few of which are popular tourist destinations.
The forest, which has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, is a popular place for suicides; in 2002, 78 bodies were found, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions. Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees, and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet.
