Conspiracy theory

Considering Aymeric said we received a mortal wound before Estinien jumped in, I almost wonder if there was a scene that was cut for ESRB reasons. They've run into that issue before with the Rathalos trial, and I could easily see there having been a scene of Elidibus stabbing us, Estinien's rescue, Elidibus musing about how he was running out of time, and us passing out. I dunno, I feel like they ran into development issues of some kind- plans needing to be changed, a lack of time, both, whatever.
