This is probably it, although it is a bit strange because when he was dying he said something like *"I don't want to die now..."* (he wanted to stay with Ai). Either he wished this too late or God is fed up with his requests.

<p>When Hampnie Hambart died, was it because his wish came true AND he succumbed to his wounds, or would he have died whether he was wounded or not because his wish came true? I'm asking because I don't recall him being that terribly wounded. It seemed like the group that captured him was just getting started.</p>

You have no need to add a spoiler warning in the title. If you feel that something might be spoilerish add `>!` before the sentence or paragraph, to hide the spoiler content until a user mouses over it. With that being said, your title implies a spoilers so you don't really need to include one if you don't want to.

Thank you for @Krazer! In the past I've written a spoilery title and didn't want it to happen again, but also I wanted to make sure I wrote a proper title for this question.
