So, you knew we'd be 'hungry' for more, huh?

I love the layers in here. Ryan is starved emotionally as well, whether he consciously is aware of how that pain is so prevalent and overwhelming as well or if the physical is blotting out that aspect.

He's also relenting on both levels as he knows he can't continue and it's futile to try to fight the physical forces without sustenance and strength. Just by revealing his whereabouts, he's getting a crumb of the emotional fuel too. He may view it as a necessary risk and a way of assuring them he's alive, but it's also him admitting and revealing how desperate his circumstances and condition have become. The Cohens would have to know that if Ryan has resorted to sending such an obvious and traceable signal, that he's reached his breaking point. After going to such resourceful and extensive lengths to avoid detection, he's being obvious and open. That shouldn't reassure them and ease their minds, it should only cause them to worry with a new fervor and intensity.

The poor kid and his life are as empty, hollow and in need as any hunger pains would indicate.
