Summary
Freeing the Hollow Knight from a mad god’s clutches is one thing; freeing them from their own self-imposed chains is entirely another. Particularly when they understand their rescue as no rescue at all, but simply another god taking those chains in hand.
Ghost did not request any of that.
Hornet, having spent the past few centuries desperately believing that all her siblings died in their eggshells, has learned the truth just in time to struggle with how to help a sibling who firmly believes that their own existence as a living thing is the most heinous of crimes.
Oro is not remotely pleased at having been pulled from his perfectly fine hut to help, and is most definitely not unusually invested here, thank you. No attachment whatsoever to someone who, despite being half-dead, still tries to make of themself a living shield. None at all.
(He’s also a bad liar.)
Friends and allies can only get you so far when someone’s greatest battle is against their own mind, and many things in this crumbling ruin of a kingdom are inclined to interfere in the matter. Not all that is dead is willing to stay dead, and the past is not content to remain in the past.
Nor are these the only Void-kin still alive.Series

Bookmark Notes:
What if the hollow light somehow survives the killing of the infection god? Alot of healing,confusion, and communication problems, it's been raised to be a item to not *be* anything but something to use AND HURT. Now it's just stress/trauma and healing under precarious situations that everyone around them treats them like egg shells trying to treat them like a person that needs healing confusing *it* from trying to make sure that no one sees there's anything but a broken object here. Getting sick from rot that hasn't ben fully realized was still there memory temporarily forgoten. Hornet trying to be anything but deadly to there older injured sibling, ghost doing there best to figure communication, Arya also is there as distraction, hornet tells hollow about her orders to kill the other shades untill they had no more will to live, she runs away to bring back the ones who still live, shield (found there own way to hallow),sweetness(someone else found stuck), pebbles, bone ,bug. Distraction, trauma, healing but not, nightmare ends with miscommunication misunderstanding hurt, change of location an old aquatence says sorry, confirmingof self, settlingand new interactions
