@ZylanMadex Basically, if Shiren doesn't die, the young child whose supposed to get affected by the curse will die, along with a couple other unknown individuals who were supposed to die from the curse. Asides from that, those supposedly cursed people will have somewhat a bit more time to live because Shiren absorbs their curses, until she has another curse overload that causes them to die abruptly.
If you ask me personally, I feel like this is the better choice, just cause the results from the canon ending aren't too satisfactory personally. People will still get affected by the curse, and people in turn will fall victim to it, its just that you simply saved a young girl and a handful of other unknown individuals from said fate.
Then again, I forgot to consider that if Shiren dies, the curse will subside eventually over the course of time. But well, people die for a variety of reasons already anyways, so I don't see too much difference
