[For a moment, Ashe is quiet as he gathers his thoughts, hands folded together. He closes his eyes, thinking of what he can remember. Much of it is muddled before he arrived to Yharnam, and after that final battle.]
There isn't a good, detailed explanation for what a hunter is. You hunt beasts, that's all I was told. I didn't have much context for what that meant until I understood: Yharnam was afflicted with a plague, one that would transform people. The more you fall to bloodlust and lose control, then all the more likely you become one.
You were a hunter where I'm from, and one that did his best to mentor me. You worked with many others, and so many of them fell that night. Including Dimitri.
I told you once that you were always someone who chose love. And that's still true. You and Dedue both dedicated yourselves to him. Dedue let beasthood claim him so that he might protect Dimitri. You remained enough of a man to try to protect Dimitri, too.
...Unfortunately, that also meant you decided I was a threat. I tried every which way to talk you out of it, but each time I couldn't do anything. I died many times, trying to convince you, but... you were too far gone, and Dimitri was no longer a man either.

So I did what a hunter does.
