The conclusion I draw from all of this, is that Phantom is starving. Hornet notes their silk has turned gray and brittle from age. Given how much silk in the Citadel is still fine, it would imply Phantom has not had fresh silk in an extremely long time. They are starving. Ravenous hunger for what lurks in Hornet's shell being held back only by the promise of release at the tip of Hornet's needle.

So, imagine for a moment, their final fight. Phantom's swansong. Only... Hornet stays the killing below. She doesn't want to kill Phantom. So she catches their pin, and tears it away. Pinning Phantom down, but refusing them death.

Phantom is furious, and hungry, and Hornet is trying to make a dramatic speech about life being possible & worth living, and Phantom doesn't hear a fucking word of it. They just fucking bite her. Chomp chomp.

It's not really effective, what with being made of brittle silk. Maybe they could tear her cloak. But I think the emotion behind it still gets across.

And I ask have a huge obsession over silk song and silk beings and did you see phantom they are so dramatic and awesome and pretty and tragic ohhhh my babe to be able to see your backstory and to know what happened and why were you abandoned

phantnet but phantom lightens to grey from all the white silk hornet maintains them with.

maybe phantom even dyes it darker cause they liked the look of the dirty silk.
