Sometimes I think about this kid peyton who once in 6th grade pe whispered so only I and two other ppl could hear that I was a "fat bitch" and that he could "see my fat rolls through my shirt" like. He must've wanted me to think about him for the rest of my life cos damn that shook me to my 12 year old core... I was like damn dude I don't even KNOW you 😳

Ok, my English isn’t good so please bear with me with this HK’s timeline discussion

Just a little reminder that following the game timeline and Quirrel dialog in his first meeting: “For so long I've felt drawn here. So many tales full of wonders and horrors. No longer could I resist. I just had to see it for myself.

And what a time I chose to arrive! This dead world has sprung to life.”

As well as the Dreamers second encounter dialog:

“Would the Seals break?

They cannot be undone.

But the Vessel weakens.

That plague springs anew.

They must be undone.”

“The vessel weakens” means PK plans did success to a degree, where THK hold Radiance power in check for sometime. Which is the most plausible thing possible, seeing how in the first cutscene, we saw Radiance tried to broke out of the seal, when THK is all ragged and tattered, which can only happen when a long time has passes.

It means that THK’s plan had, presumably, worked for awhile, for decades at best. Which also mean during that meantime, Pale King has no reasons as long as we know to abandon the kingdom he had saved, and THK and Dreamers memorial were made during that time. None of us actually know what the heck was going on inside that Wyrm head, while White Lady’s reason for leaving is plausible, I really don’t think PK did what he does out of cowardice because he he really a coward he would just screwed it all from the beginning. THK plan is a desperate attempt, and White Lady is also convince that Hallownest must live without Radiance influences (White Lady’s cut dialog). And also, remember that PK has foresight, and apparently, he did know that his plan will fail: A giant hidden mushroom can be found in the Fungal Core. When struck with the Dream Nail the following message is shown:

"Pale Wyrm...What good to foresee a demise unavoidable?"

Conclusion: Until Team Cherry confirm PK fates and his decisions in Silksong dlc, we absolutely can’t say for sure why PK hid away, whether is it out of shame of his THK’s plan like White Lady did, or out of superior motive (like a theory on PK somehow plan our Knight is Radiance downfall for example).

To be honest all I want to say is while Pale King maybe isn’t the number one parent in the whole freaking universe, he sure tried his best to not let his kingdom reverts back to static state like it did under Radiance time, bugkingcaptured in a hive mind with no freewill, keep in primal state, forever in stagnation, but it’s a safe solution for bug for when they’re in a hive mind, they won’t suffer. When PK came along, he gave bugkind a choice between Radiance or following him, in exchange for free will which resulted in progress and construction of Hallownest. Both of them are god who thought their own way of thinking and both believeing they were right. There’s no such thing as black and white thinking in this game and you guys need to stop bashing on Pale King so much, the guys doesn’t truly deserve it for all he did for Hallownest
