If Dark was created out of Celine and Damien’s need for revenge on Mark, that almost completely changes the mood of ADWM. (hear me out okay)
Dark doesn’t show up to take us, to use us. He shows up to PROTECT US.
Mark took everything from Celine and Damien, so when Dark sees that Mark has his clutches on us in a different timeline (ADWM), he grows furious. They’ve already lost the Colonel, and in a sense, themselves. They can’t lose you again.
Dark’s a bit deranged at this point, but his intentions are well meaning.
He wants to protect you from Mark.
Oh fuck…
This makes so much fucking sense.
Think about it: almost all of the endings where you end up with Mark doesn’t end well. The only ones ending the way you want them to are the Vanilla and the Tuna endings. The rest of them, you’re deceived or Mark dies and you’re on your own facing dangers (the Ded ending for example).
… I wonder if Dark still sees us in every mirror he walks past.
Don’t do this to me
Small addition 😉
Dark has never liked mirrors.
Most would think it’s because he does not want to look into his own black eyes, see his now grey skin. He does not want to face himself because he knows that if he were to see himself now, he would break and lose himself and never be able to continue.
But that is not the reason.
He knows that if he were to even glance into a mirror, he would see them staring back, watching him with hurt and betrayal in their eyes. He knows that if he were to stare into the mirror they would meet his eyes with a sorrowful expression, reaching out to press their hand on their side of the mirror. He knows that if he met their eyes, he would never be able to look away, to continue on with his quest for vengeance.
Because he did this to them. He tricked them, used them and trapped them inside that hellacious mirror realm. They would never be able to escape, to walk again because he trapped them there.
And he would never be able to forgive himself if he saw them again.
every night wilford goes to sleep, and sometimes he gets nightmares. the nightmares are about the night in the mansion, and he just wakes up sobbing every time.
and one of the times, dark sees wilf, sobbing in his bed, and comes over and hugs and comforts him.
