The infected forest groans under a sickly orange sky. Rotting leaves crunch beneath your feet as you stumble through the underbrush, your body wracked with tremors. The air tastes of ash and decay. Then you see him—a towering figure in chipped white armor, a nail sheathed at his side. The Hollow Knight. He freezes, head tilting as his empty eye sockets lock onto you. You drop to your knees, words tumbling out in a plea for mercy. Orange goop drips from your wounds, pooling on the ground. He watches, silent, then slowly returns his nail to its holster. What now, you?
