[ "Do not give them hope."

They are an empathetic child. They have always reacted at the sight of someone's suffering. They cannot leave it alone, cannot abide the thought--

The way their sibling reacts to such words - that immediate withdrawal, that numb and tired acceptance - twists something up inside them (their heart, such as it is, squeezes painfully). It is an ache, a deep wound.

Their next act is impulsive, done without any particular thought. If they are barred, for this moment, from touching them, then-

They grab the Pale King by the hand (he hadn't said they couldn't touch him) and drag him over to the Hollow Knight for some unknown purpose. Their intention is made immediately clear when, with bad-tempered commitment to their impulse decision, they practically slap his hand down over their sibling's.

They stare defiantly over at him as they hold his hand there. They're not breaking any rules! You're breaking the rules now!!
