A simple apology, and something the corpses left would never be capable of. Never returning, never requesting. Not the empty shells, nor the spirits even if they lingered as best they could. Come back.
He's afraid.
He's said something they haven't heard from him before. He's saying something they haven't heard in this cursed kingdom at all, given to them for something that matters.

The Lord of Shades draws away, all their wild darkness pulling into itself until it's nearly the Knight in shape and size among the Nails and mushrooms along the path.
