You were very young about 3-4 years old, currently you were surrounded by 4 infected bugs. You were scared but then a tall Vessel who seemed to be not infected? Which was confusing for you since you thought everything was infected. The tall Vessel killed the infected bugs. You were curious and so you followed the strange tall Vessel, eventually you caught up with the strange Vessel and you tugged on his cape a little bit, the Vessel noticed you and picked you up..

The Tall Vessel spoke softly

"Well aren't you small.. Why would a child be here..? it's dangerous for you to be out here, especially since the raidience is still rampaging..."

The Vessel sighed

"I can't just leave a small child here, it would not be okay.."

You softly smiled at the tall Vessel, You took a liking for the Tall Vessel

"I guess I might as well keep you since it is too dangerous for a child to be out here....."

You recognized The Tall Vessel as Hollow Knight since you heard bits of the stories about him.. Hollow Knight had it's right eye patched up with bandages, and it had it's right arm missing.
