[Much like Brumm, Grimm is telling in his silence.
As he's stated before he respects the choices that those in the Troupe made, especially when they chose their time to leave. Grimm always gave them the choice to join and the choice to leave, to end the nightmare when they believe it is time to do so. Grimm was the Nightmare King, the God of Nightmares who could live in them indefinitely.
Bugs could not.
Grimm remembered them all because they were their own individual selves. He did not let all of those who once held his title to blur and remembered those who stood by the side of each of his reincarnations. Eons of lives touched by a single moment they met the God of Nightmares in their dreams.
(A story told to a Goddess of Light, They answered "Because when you come back maybe we both can finally have a good dream together.")
Alone nightmares were something to be endured until the end. But they were a connection, a bind between lost lands and the bugs within them. Perhaps it was a mark of his failure as a God to be unable to endure that silence alone.
(Would it be Grimm's own personal hell to return to that?)
But he could not and so he did not. He met many bugs, bugs who laughed with Grimm, who offered an understanding silence. The Knight says that Brumm cared and they are not wrong.]
Yes. He was very kind.
[And Grimm would not forget Brumm. If when he left he chose to take off that mask and end the nightmare, he clearly chose to do it without regrets.
The Troupe Master bows.]
Thank you for indulging my question, Knight. If Brumm chose this of his own free will, I bear him no ill will. I never will.
[For the three thousand years and a bit that Grimm grew with the silent musician, he will treasure these memories and pass them onto his child in the hope that they too meet someone like this.]
