"Does the bullet feel warm when it hits the brain? Does one actually hear the shot? Can one feel the tear in the moment of realising: it shouldn’t have been? „I don't want to live", „I want to die" are dark verbalisations in a suicidal atmosphere. The protagonists enjoy the glamour of being dangerous and the athleticism of their challenge. But why should someone with such a high (pretended) self confidence want to kill himself?"
