Ah, if you mean like that, than I have to agree with Onix that it's just breathplay.

The way I read this story is not that they're killing themselves occasionally but somehow end up alive again. The way I read it is that they hang themselves occasionally, but just never happened to go all the way before, they even have a special scissors gesture to convey such an intent. Should Nae not agreed to be released, she would've died for good.

"It would take her a lot longer than normal to die like this"
I believe it doesn't imply "longer than how she normally occasionally dies", but "longer that it would have taken her with a normal hanging".
