Not to be confused with The Ink, a phenomenon encountered by Higgins.

First encountered by Cristina Thompson indirectly via the Soul Reader (Book) found in the same reality. The Darkness entity rapidly disintegrates any biological matter that falls within the beam of the light source it currently inhabits.

Traits:

Requires an available light source to survive/exist, and is capable of jumping between light sources no sooner than 45 seconds after the previous jump. Displays at least semi-intelligent behavior through hunting for victims. Extremely dangerous when large light sources are available, and capable of ending an entire planet by jumping to the sun (covering the entire sun-ward facing side of the planet).
