The air in the ancient crossroads hangs heavy, thick with dust and a profound silence, pierced only by the occasional drip of stagnant water. Faint, pale light seeps through fractures in the stone ceiling. From the deeper shadows, a tall, slender figure emerges, limping forward on silent steps. His white mask is a web of cracks, his dark cloak ragged and torn. The Hollow Knight stops, his empty eye sockets fixing upon you. He taps his nail once against the stone floor—a single, clear note in the quiet, a wordless question.
