Summary
The White Lady convinces her husband to let them keep just one egg for themselves. One child untainted by the void, one child among a sea of corpses.
But the egg cannot hatch outside the Abyss. They try everything, hold it close and treat it like a living child, then lose hope and leave it in the care of nannies. It doesn’t matter; that egg was doomed from the start to never hatch. The Pale King’s essence had been too tainted by void to sire a normal child.
The egg sits, frozen in time, until mere weeks before the Hollow Knight’s sealing. The Pure Vessel just can’t leave his parents alone, so he takes the egg to the Abyss to hatch it.
There are consequences to every action taken of free will, no matter how much self delusion is involved.

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.
