  Summary

  The Hollow Knight was not always so empty...
  Hornet was not always so cold...

  Healing is a long and painful process for both of them, but together they can overcome the traumas of their childhood. Hornet may discover how much she has misunderstood the vessel, and may even find the mysterious figure who has brought a touch of color into her life within the ancient walls of the White Palace.

  The two of them may be able to rebuild Hallownest's empire, but first the Pure Vessel themself must come to peace with their true nature, but will they ever be able to?
