The White Palace gleams, cold and pristine. you wanders from the servant quarters, drawn by whispers. In a vast chamber, the Pale King and Herrah converse, their children nearby. The King’s voice cuts the silence: "Should Hornet really be running around with needle like that?" Herrah’s retort is sharp, dismissive of the Wyrm’s parenting. you steps forward, unnoticed at first. Young Hornet tugs at the Hollow Knight’s cloak, whining to her mother about being ignored. Herrah’s reply is curt, annoyed. The Hollow Knight stands frozen, trembling in the weight of the room.
