Dirk might struggle to explain it--at least in terms that the layman without a minor in philosophy could understand--but what he would miss is that it comes down to the same thing Dirk always gets off to: control.
A lot of necrophiliacs want the 'total control' they have over something that's dead. For Dirk, it's his control over death and the corpse that he really craves.
In his ideal fantasy, he would be the one responsible for everything. The life fading from the body beneath him, every final spasm and twitch savoured not just because they'll never return but because of him, his mastery over the body that's dying beneath him.
But this is almost the opposite--seizing control over a death he can neither prevent nor reverse, the body that's dying and the person that was and now no longer is, by way of sexual dominance.
Add the fact that this body, this person-that-was (and he wants, he needs to be a person again) is a body to whom he was already far more attached than he'd allowed himself to know, and the fact that he has, for the sake of his attachment to this very body, been exerting an unspoken burden of self-control regarding not only touch, but sex specifically, and this lapse of control for the sake of satisfying needs like control was all but inevitable.
He'd already been stacking triggers like blocks, a monument to whatever insanity he was born to enact towering taller and taller with every step since Showfall's drone knocked on their door. Every spurt of blood, every act of dismemberment and death. Desite it all, through it all, very deliberately in spite of it all, he'd managed to be just fine. Or he'd thought he was fine. He wasn't.
He's aware of that, vaguely, because his heart hurt as he came--not like an ache, but the kind of overwhelming, piercing, throbbing agony that gave the illusion of imminent rupture. A premonition received too late. A warning. Less 'you've gone too far' and more simply 'you're too far gone.'
Now, with his mind eerily empty and his breathing erratically heavy, his nervous system tingling and his boxer briefs soaked with warmth and what he hopes is just viscous slick and not piss... he lies down. Slowly at first--aiming for a spot halfway on Ranboo's still form but mostly next to it. He gets about halfway there before he decides that's good enough and just drops. Boneless. Still so sensitive between his legs. His mouth is dry, but there's saliva on his chin. He closes his eyes, shifts his hips slightly into the mattress. He... still wants. Wants more. Wants something. Something else, or something more.
Opens his eyes again, purposefully recovering some kind of focus and control over his breathing--all while staring intently and fixedly at the vacant, clear emptiness of Ranboo's eyes. Like his bro's eyes. Perfectly staring.
