I can see how the idea of reconciling with his wife causes even more pain than just leaving things the way they are...
The idea of making peace again, only to have it stolen by death.
He was so devastated and obliterated by the idea of her inevitably dying, so untimely...
To reconcile and be together would be more pain and more ripping open of the same wounds again.
This is a deeply psychological situation and it takes a lot of understanding...
I essentially only feel compassion for Zane over his running and trying to keep the pain at bay.
A lot of people say that he's just an abandoner etc. and they don't have any deep understanding of the magnitude of Zane's pain...
If you look at it this way, it makes a lot of sense.
His wife, his family, it all became mortally threatened and he felt powerless against it... not an easy place for someone which such vitality and inherent personal power to be.
It's taken him out... and he's just running now until it's over.
We all want him to live, and sort through the pain, find reasons to hang around and stick with us all.
But it's his choice.
