You are the Soul.
You are the Void.
You are a Human and a Vessel. Born and Reborn into the world of bugs. You learn and you fight for the sake of your peace and safety as you explore deeper into the underground.
Though, your unique existence doesn't grant you with such privilege.

A fan-fiction of a video game THE HOLLOW KNIGHT, a story I made for myself to retell the story of the Kingdom of Hallownest before it fell to ruin.
Being void of emotions doesn't mean having no emotions.
It's pretending you're okay until you almost believe it.
Until you don't remember how it felt before.
Until numb becomes a personality.
Until someone says "Are you okay?" and you almost start crying because no one's asked in months.
And when someone finally reaches in - when someone finally cares -
you want to run.
Because hope is more terrifying than pain.
Because being saved means admitting you need saving.
Because the void tells you: they'll leave too.
The worst part of the void isn't being alone.
It's remembering what it felt like not to be.
