Ashley What it all ends up culminating in is a moment where the girlfriend realizes that she and Jake are the same person. They meet in the janitor's closet, and soon after, the janitor himself appears and hands the girlfriend a clothes hanger, which she uses to fatally stab herself in the neck with. This ultimately means that Jake, too, killed himself. In the end, when his body is found, they discover that Jake, his girlfriend, and the janitor are all one in the same. Jake was a brilliant student but became unraveled and lonely, living a life full of regrets. His girlfriend was a woman he once met at a bar that he never approached. Jake was the manifestation of the man he could have been. The janitor, his reality.
