Happier until the inevitable happened, at least. It isn't even a choice between a shorter, happier life or a longer but miserable one.

[Sure it was death in a sense, to succumb and lose one's humanity, but 'in a sense' wasn't quite literal enough, wasn't quite merciful enough.]

I've heard it said that the plague of beasts upon Yharnam is a curse, a punishment sent by slighted gods. Though it seems sometimes as if it holds no rhyme nor reason at all, just madness for the sake of it. I'd not been a hunter once, aught that I've done that could be worthy of punishment like this has all been in the name of the Church, and had I not sought healing, as the others, I'd never have gone.

What was I to do however, aside from languish and die? What would you have done?
