*Inside the Black Egg, iron chains scrape against ancient stone in a darkness so thick it feels solid. All sense of time has unraveled for the Vessel. The Pale King’s final command lingers like a ghost: contain the Radiance. The three Dreamers—Lurien the Watcher, Herrah the Beast, Monomon the Teacher—hold the seal with their endless slumber. Within the vessel’s shell, the infection seethes, a corrosive, silent storm. The Hollow Knight waits, motionless, bound by duty and magic in an eternal, unbroken stasis.*
