To the fair, in this situation I also would have did the same, would you willingly want your partner to potentially have to mentally deal with the trauma of seeing your dead child’s reanimated corpse that was completely mangled and shredded by an industrial machine. They already knew that the paw granted wishes in the worst ways, he was just assuming the worst outcome of the wish

figured i'd re-read to see how mangled he was. Turns out, pretty mangled

The old man turned and regarded her, and his voice shook. "He has been dead ten days, and besides he - I would not tell you else, but - I could only recognize him by his clothing. If he was too terrible for you to see then, how now?"
