Sometimes the explosion happens quickly as the narcopath cycles through the three stages of the relationship with some degree of speed and acuity. There are some stars like Betelgeuse that live fast and die violently. They explode in stellar events that can be seen across the galaxy, and while still relatively young, (Betelgeuse is only about 8.5 million years old), astronomers can determine that it is nearing the end of its life.
