[Hallownest... it has the sound of somewhere one would find the kind of curious insectile creature the Hollow Knight represented. Somewhere dark and quiet, he thinks, cosy, and it pleases him to think of it and its siblings curled safely in a den, though he is sure it is far from the reality of home for it.

There is another question to ask, too, about the "Void", but it holds onto it for a few moments in favour of something more important: kinship.]

As was mine. Thousands of my kind were produced in the factory in which I was created, a great many of them built to precisely the same plans as me.

[ There was variation between the Vessels; that was to be expected. They had been made from the unborn children of the Wyrm and the Root, and had the familial similarities and differences inherent to that. But aside from that one difference, its birth and Zenyatta's were similar. Designed. Crafted. Maybe by the thousand.

The Void is the great emptiness of the Abyss.
The darkness that swallowed the obfuscating light of the Radiance.
The lack that defines the living.
Sibling is the Heart of the Void.
Given form.
Given focus.
