You know, there’s one thing about this line that makes me wonder…
What if the spell on Monomon’s mask made it so that hunger and exhaustion wouldn’t affect Quirrel as much as a normal bug would?
I haven’t really seen anyone mention this, but it’s a pretty interesting to think about for me.
Remember when Quirrel returned the mask to Monomon and effectively released the spell as well, he instantly collapsed on his knees? What if that was the exhaustion the spell was keeping at bay catching up to him?
Not only that but based on the canon things we’ve seen in game and in the Quirrel comic, if Quirrel didn’t eat anything behind the scene, the last time Quirrel ate would be his meeting with Boon….. which was before his encounter with Hornet.
So in his entire time in Hallownest, he didn’t eat anything for a veeeeery long time.
After the mask was returned, Quirrel would need to relearn and readjust himself back to eating and sleeping regularly like a normal bug. Which would be hellish for the first few days, if not weeks or months even.
Even though a spell that’ll lessen the effect of hunger and exhaustion on a bug sounds good on paper, and Monomon or someone else probably did this with good intentions, the after effects of the spell being broken and the rehabilitation needed to soothe those suck.
But hey!! At least in this case Ghost and Hollow won’t be alone in trying to eat and sleep regularly like a normal bug should!!!

Inktober week 2: The Hollow Knight saga
Image description: Digital art in saturated tones of orange, pink, blues, and purples of humanized Hollow Knight characters. Quirrel and the Knight sit on the sandy shores of the Blue Lake. Quirrel smiles, relaxed, with his cheek resting on his hand. He is visibly aged, his face lined and his hair sprinkling with white. The Knight holds their helmet in their hands, expressionless. Both watch the waves of the lake out-of-frame, neither facing the other. End ID.
