Chapter One: In Which The Nailsmith Is Spared

The Nailsmith packs a bag. He fills it with food and water and picks up a nail when he steps outside. When he stares at the nail, he considers, just for a moment, if it'd be worth it to end things with it. It wasn't Pure but-

No. It loses all meaning if the nail isn't the Pure Nail he crafted.

He's going to find The Knight, he's going to find his Pure Nail, and he is going to die.

(Hollow Knight belongs to Team Cherry, along with the assets used to make the cover.)
