Just finished Wolf’s Rain (oh boy wasn’t the ending A Thing) and I am very intrigued by Paradise Sickness. Lord Darcia III and Hamona both presented very different symptoms and Darcia actually gives two slightly different accounts for his “wolf” transformation, but I think it’s possible to connect the dots.
Paradise Sickness’s symptoms might depend on the person’s feelings towards opening Paradise, amplifying them and making them affect their body and their mind: Hamona thought that reaching Paradise was impossibile, so the only rational choice for her to be happy was an eternal slumber; on the other hand, Darcia strongly believed that only wolves could open Paradise, so the sickness actually started mutating him. Not only that, but the mutation was either incomplete or (perhaps more fittingly) deceitful, since he couldn’t reach Paradise: the disease may have messed up his memories to make him believe that he really came from a wolf clan who became human with the passage of time and is thus a fitting candidate to open Paradise. This is also supported by the fact that Cheza has no connection to him at all, unlike with all the other wolves, and by the fact that he is the only person who tells that story about his ancestors to the main cast.
Sure, it might be a weird OVA retcon or the true story behind his wolf eye – the mutation simply being too incomplete to work properly – but this explanation feels more thematically fitting, in my opinion.

(from hunter) i just wanted to help you.
@aeinsof / unplotted. / part 1.
It stunned him to silence.
He blinked, &. now once again more man than rage he found himself staring down into the wide eyes of his younger guest. Immediately was his attention drawn to the taut twitch of the boy’s frown; face scrunched into a mask of militaristic stoicness. Thick brows were furrowed, as if to pretend that there was no panic in those unblinking eyes, even as their edges began to glisten. As if the lord Darcia couldn’t smell it.
Heels clicked the tile as Darcia stepped back. The boy’s chest was puffed out, holding close the breath he’d dare not let go - save for the short, jack-rabbiting huffs that forced their way out his nose. He watched racing beads of sweat adorn his neck, strangling a swallow the boy was trying to force down. The lord Darcia found his own throat burning in kind.
The taste of copper &. spittle poured in from the corners of his mouth.
He looked down &. noted the vine-esque locks of willow-gold hair that threatened to wrap themselves around his feet. Glancing up again, he bore witness to the maw of an open door at the boy’s back, threatening to swallow him whole.
A shaky breath of realization escaped the wolf king’s lips.
“...How could you possibly have known,” He relented, voice hoarse. A hand came up to grope his temples, dragging down &. leaving faint pink lines in his skin as it fell. “Forgive me. Your uncle - …”
His voice died on his lips. The illustrious, vaulted walls of her sickroom enunciated the crinkle of his tightening, trembling fists.
“Do not enter this room again.”
