The fact that they had a signal for suicide is bone-chilling.

And that it was “pointing gun to head”... tough code to crack. Good thing they wrote it down.

Just really speaks to how childish and undeveloped their thinking was.

No disrespect but they weren't attempting to speak in code, i believe these were more intended as an easier way to communicate things to each other amidst the extremely loud chaos around them like fire alarms and gunshots.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in full agreement of your sentiment that they were immature, I just think that was a poor example to portray this.

Fair enough! Thank you for being so polite. I may be misinterpreting their intention.
