      Nah. An important life lesson irl is that not everything that you want is what's better for you. Not everyone gets to learn that but, the moment you let him live, he gets a new opportunity in life.
      Killing him here for this reason is like being able to stop someone from comitting suicide but, just because they want to, you let them do it anyway: You'll be arrested and people will despise you for it

    I had just came out of platting nioh 1 and 2 so the japanese high stakes honor system was still pretty fresh in my mind.
    I could see the lucidity in the nailsmith as he made his final request. Knowing how he served me in my journey i felt obligated to serve him in his, so with solemn stoicism I charged the most powerful single strike I could muster lest he survive and feel failure in his work.... Then with tears falling behind my mask, i granted him his final wish.
