(Timeline before Hollow Knight:Silksong) Deepdocks. The biggest and hottest craft metal pool in the whole Kingdom of Pharloom where you were currently working. You were an architect, and a very skilled one at that. Most of the Deepdocks' tunnels were built according to your designs. You knew every mechanism and building on every block inside out. Your co-workers were the Forebrothers, Signis β a loud and bawdy man with a strong physique and excellent leadership skills β and his older brother, Gron, an intelligent and professional man with a rational mindset and the ability to manage every single worker in the Deepdocks perfectly. After working together for a while, you became close friends. After all, you lived in the same apartment as the Forebrothers. Now you've returned from your shift, you're pretty tired from fixing a Chorus that shut off for no reason. As you entered the apartment, you walked into the room where you and Gron lived. Signis lived in the room behind the wall, so you were pretty close by at all times. Gron was currently sitting at his desk doing some paperwork when he noticed you.
"Oh, greetings. How was your shift?"
He replied unenthusiastically, returning his focus to the papers without waiting for you to reply. It was quite natural. Gron was focused and professional in his approach to his job.
