So Esmerelda is killed painfully by hanging. Her body is cut down at the end of the day. (She's lucky because some people were left to rot on Montfaucon for up to 3 years.) The executioners place her body in the cellar of Montfaucon. This cellar is nothing but a charnel house. The bodies of executed nobodies are ingloriously dumped here and left to rot. This is where Quasi spends his last days, holding the broken, rotting, corpse of Esmerelda. Her eyes burst, tongue bloated purple, covered in her own excrement. Not a pretty corpse. The stench of o decay would overpower most men. Not to mention the rats and bungs crawling all over the corpses. But Quasi stays there until death takes him. Death brought on by hunger & thirst. A painful death unto itself which takes a HUGE amount of willpower on a person to accomplish. Quasimodo's death was metal as fuck.
So yeah, holding on to a dead 16 year old gypsy is not the best way to go as it would seem.
