Summary
Once upon a time, the Sun and the Moon reigned across the land.
The twin lights shone so beautifully in the sky.
Then one day, the Moon parted from the Sun to dance instead with the shadows that trailed in her wake.
The darkness and the Moon have since danced together forevermore.
.
.
The Hollow Knight, through a twist of fate, survives the battle between the Void and the Old Light. Gravely injured and left in the care of their estranged sister and a reclusive Lifeblood moth, the former Pure Vessel has a long and painful path to recovery ahead of them. Along the way, they must come to terms with their emotions, rekindle long forgotten bonds, and embrace what it means to be alive.- Updates sporadically -

Summary
It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.
For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

Summary
It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.
Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.
I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.
