mv x er question that you may have answered. Where does their journey start since Arthur could have succumbed to the frenzied flame at any point on his journey and now doesn't remember much. Are they starting at the chapel of anticipation?
RIGHT NOW what i'm imagining is that arthur goes through the chapel like normal, dies to the grafted scion, and then when he wakes up afterwards in the cave (or maybe on the beach? they've never really explained how you get from the chapel to the cave so i like the interpretation that you were originally supposed to just wash up on the limgrave beach lol) john is there. i feel like that makes sense?
as in, the inciting incident that led to the flame finding him was probably waking up in the chapel, walking outside, and then immediately being pounced on and slaughtered by a fucked up abomination manspider. this i feel would be a pretty good straw that broke the camel's back in terms of making him (temporarily) go "fuck it why am i even bothering to try anymore. wtf did grace even want with me. no. i quit. call someone else i'm just gonna lie here and die."
HOWEVER the idea of him having been around as a tarnished for a little while before that is also very fun... possibly running into people who recognize him but that he doesn't know... hmm...
