Hollow Knight NPCs from Dream Nail Dialogue

Character

To descend into that ruin... Why? Things are so much simpler up here.

...Wherever you are... Whatever it is you do now... I hope you three are looking after yourselves...

...To chart the world. What joy... If only Iselda could share the thrill...

I'm glad I put down my weapon, this quiet life with Corny makes me a lot happier. It would be nice to stretch my legs again though... sometime soon...

To live an age, yet remember so little... Perhaps I should be thankful?

Another fool to be cut down by Life Ender...

Too weak, little ghost...

It is stronger even than me... does it know that? Will it return to hunt me...? I hope it tries.

...No cost too great...

So it can access a mind? Then the seals shall break before its blade.

My saviour, so close...

This little creature looks tasty. I wonder, should I eat it? The others around here were awfully bland.

I'll make more... and they'll give me more Geo. If someone comes by, they have to give me their Geo.

Nola, I'm coming. More challenging foes are out there, somewhere, but none in this ruin could take me to you...

This little squib clearly fears me. I'd kill it right here, but it'd be too pitiful an end.

...Blinding...Rising...Never be empty...

...This short one's got an odd look about it... though vaguely familiar?..

I'm so close... Keep singing, crystals! Keep singing so I can find you!

What are you doing, poking about in a dusty old mind like mine? Nothing of worth is hidden inside, believe me.

Ulll... Nemenoo... Nails and claws... Why must it be so?

No doubt this one will meet its demise at the nails of the city's guards. I'll outlive you too little grub, as I did all the others.

Mmmnnnnnnngghhh... I'll find you again. The water will bring you to me. I just need to keep searching... and praying.

Mother’s glow... so angry... so angry...

What gods, to save Us of Our silent mind?

One prefers its mind not be pried. Is rather unsettling. Rather invasive.

Gah!! Get out! Get out! Get out!

...Does it know of the face that hides beneath? Such remarkable contrast the Wyrm conceived....

Brother Mato, in your lonely home at the top of the world... do you still think of me as an enemy?

My brother, Sheo... how fare you in that green kingdom of thorns you call home? I think of you every time I raise my nail...

My brother, Oro... what drove you to hide away deep down at the very edge of that ash swept grave?

Masterful! Even a vessel discarded bears fierce strength.

...Wyrms pull bugs into their thrall, Till ages pass and kingdoms fall,
