This was like a fan festival but more for adults.

60% of the people were dressed very normally. 30% had some sort of pins/accessories about Hollow Knight. 7% had apparel with Hollow Knight. and ~6 people were wearing a full cosplay.

I like dressing very "normally", very rarely having fandom pins on my bag. Though I love looking for them on other people's bags. This time I had my official Hollow Knight t-shirt! And I was wearing it secretly under my sweater. Because it's only for me.

The concert was amazing. I've been dreaming to visit it for so long. Though, as I said in the beginning, I wasn't supposed to be here by now. I'm still glad that this dream came true.

The concert was only 1.5 hours but I wish I could re-listen it a couple times more! It was incredible! Amazing, wonderful! 1.5 hours is not enough, I wanted so much more.

Here is a clip of one soundtrack played live. It wasn't from this concert, and the orchestrator wasn't wearing a cosplay. But our concert was like this. Now imagine Karmelita's song played live with an amazing singer! the Lost Lace at the end was so perfect.

I had such a big smile. And I cried.

It's a really special game for me indeed. I visited the concert alone. I have no friends who would love the game that much, so it was better to not have small talks at such a special event. I was very worried that seeing so many people would make me sad about my loneliness here. But no. I had a pleasure to enjoy this event the way I wanted.

I actually really liked to walk in the crowd. To see so many people that also love Hollow Knight so much in one place, what a rare opportunity! I liked it a lot. But yes, at the end I was a little bit sad. When the concert was over and everyone were slowly leaving the theatre, I realised that it was my last minutes to be around the people like me. For a short time I was a part of a community, actually seeing and hearing people, I could... talk to them and even on my own language! I haven’t experienced something like this in many years.
