[Wolfwood is mid-swing, rearing back with the sledgehammer, when Mizuki asks him a question that makes him actually stop. Not because he wants to actually ponder an answer, but because his stress-addled mind starts throwing up answers for him before he can think.
Better? ...Better would be to break his shackles, once and for all. To be able to live how he wanted without the guilt of knowing he'd be dooming another to follow in his footsteps if he did.
Better, is a life with Livio, alive and well and happy like he is here. Better...is fucking around with Vash again, without walking on eggshells or laden with the fear that he'll wake up to him having taken himself out of his life again, for his "own good". It's to be able to feel, just for a moment, how he felt when he and Vash spent the night together after that disastrous meeting.
He draws the sledgehammer back, then lowers it.]
...for me, it'd be to be able to make my own choices for once.
