Chesterton's fence


The man cannot be living, ergo there can be no reconciliation, ergo the promise/oath can only exist because nobody bothers to remove it; not because we don’t know the reasons for its existence.

Though largely it wouldn’t matter in this case.

you still don't know why the curse was put in place, vampirism, reincarnation, Devil incarnate, there are myriad possible reasons.
