Not sure what the confusion is? Not that I know the guy personally (I think I only read two of his stories - not really my thing but well written) but it looks pretty clear to me. He's got his personal demons to deal with like we all do and he felt he needed to leave here to deal with them so yeah maybe he is depressed or even suicidal (I hope not) but when Ellen says he's fine she means he's not in any sort of external trouble and nobody is giving him grief like Onix seemed to be suggesting. Fine can mean lots of different things. Onix I think Ellen is pissed at you for trying to sound like you know more than you do. If someone asks again where he's gone why not just say "He left for personal reasons" without trying to guess what those are?
