That going first is just fine. The Knight hops up onto the counter rather than carry the Egg off, staring it down.
It's already open on the top layer...the shape it appeared to have bloomed around goes deeper, but...differently?
Crouching, they trace their blunt little clawtips over that again, feeling into the dark. The layer difference is thicker here, though it seems thinner even further in. Their reach gently splits along the shape, and then a little further--the Knight twitches when the thing seems to pop open rather than bloom. The next layer ends up sticking out more like the rings of a cooked onion someone pushed the center halfway from than a flower. It appears this is still correct when they flip it over, with the original strange shape on the outside sticking out on the protruding part.
The entire thing's silhouette...doesn't quite make sense. There shouldn't be enough room for that to have pushed out, even with layers hidden. Just as there shouldn't be enough space behind the Knight's mask to fit all the Void inside.
