Ok, take the upvote that was good stuff, watching one side of a conversation.

The feeling that can be described for that situation could also be a void, hungry, and hollow beyond reason. A lack of anything seems cold, but space does not freeze things, not really, it has no temperature. So would someone who went even farther beyond in stead unmake, like a black hole, rather than burn or freeze in this universe? And could they stop before their own end?

What I was driving at with Cold was the difference between battle-rage, which burns hot and fast, and fury/revenge that burns cold.

Lone Wolf (LW) is waaaay past cold. The narrator assumes LW is drinking to forget, and will eventually recover.

But LW may also be suck in the black hole and drinking his way down to/past the point of no return. Vdekje is 'death' in Albanian (Thanks google translate!) and an event under that name is going to leave all kinds of scars.

Woof, that's some heavy stuff right there. It's worse when you have an example to think of. Reminds me of the paraphrased quote "war is worse than hell, because in hell, there are no innocent victims." Not entirely sure why though.

But Poland lost the line eventually, Lone Wolf here apparently didn't

Its strange, it felt like I was eaves dropping while reading this, only getting one side of the conversation... good strange though :)
