Victor, like a truly competent butler, summoned Annan's clothes out of thin air with a wave of his hand immediately after the brief skirmish was over.

The "Worm" that was born from the Charioteer's corpse, according to Vladimir's description, is likely some sort of personification or deification of the concept of "entropy increase" or something similar.

Thinking along these lines...
It seems that both the Frostbite Calamity and the Werewolf Chaos acquire an additional layer of meaning.
