i hadnt read this comic in a few weeks. Im not sure what Taeshi's endgame here is. Also having david do this is the worst possible choice aside from actually pulling this.

David has no character. He's just a get out of jail free card for taeshi when it comes to mucking things up for mike.

It'd be different if there was more to him on this than meme character but there isn't.

Again, I'm not sure what her endgame is. She just seems dead set on ruining Mike's life and pushing him to a breaking point, but I can't see her having him actually try to kill himself because then the other characters would have to deal with that.

If she tried to side step their hands in it then it would be incredibly hacky even for her.
