“While the siblings fight off an ancient creature from a forgotten time, the hollow knight takes the fight to its god in the nightmare realm”

The traveler in the final shape really was like. “I am not a god I do not have answers for you I’m sorry for placing this burden on you I love you I will give you the tools to defend me and humanity but it’s your choice what to do with them I’m scared I’m terrified but I will stand here and wait for the end because I’m done running you are my final argument I love you I love you I love you.” And I was really supposed to just be okay with that.
