L'heure de l'extinction des feux dans le centre de détention ultramoderne d'Entry était dépassée depuis longtemps. Metal hésitait à plonger. (..)les jeunes détenus avaient résisté aux assauts des gardiens et du groupe d'intervention. Les gaz lacrymogènes avaient eu les trente derniers. Tous les autres s'étaient rendus entretemps

capitolare / vuotare il sacco


Explanation:
toi seule connait le reste de l'histoire qui permet de cerner ce personnage...

plonger a aussi le sens de être sanctionné, être condamné, écoper d'une peine de prison, ce qui n'est pas très pertinent ici vu qu'il est déjà entre les murs d'une prison mais c'est surtout le verbe hésiter qui cloche (on ne décide pas vraiment soi-même de finir en prison)

hésitait à plonger: esitava a capitolare / a vuotare il sacco / confessare
