you are correct
My favorite thing in hollow knight is that the animation for looking down is like, inclining your head. So I end up going out of my way to do it to any boss that is polite, like Grimm or the nailmasters. And especially to never strike Grimm during his opening animation.
This has put a whole new perspective on hollow knight. This means that regular ending is you waking them up, and them getting really annoyed and putting you to bed.
