   Summary

   Something is very wrong in Hallownest.

   The Hollow Knight wakes up outside the Temple of the Black Egg. Hornet feels a shift in the kingdom from all the way in Greenpath. Together, the two of them discover the sacrifices each has made—and the grief neither one of them was allowed to feel.

   —

   Hollow survives the Hollow Knight ending, though severely wounded and close to death. Against her better judgement, Hornet takes them under her care. Along the way, Hollow begins to acknowledge their emotions, and Hornet slowly discovers she's been lied to about the true nature of Vessels.
