This particular scene, where you discover your birthplace and the full extent of the Pale King's cruel plan, has stuck with me ever since I first played Hollow Knight. It's such an emotional moment and among my favourites out of all the games I've played.

The spot under the Knight's eye can be interpreted as a tear or just another mark on the egg. I wanted it to be a bit ambiguous.

Perhaps I will fully render this (and add the nail, oops) when I have more energy. In either case, enjoy!
