Think about it: if it was that big of a threat, more than just a couple people would have noticed it. Eventually, it would have broken into the media about how all of these people are suddenly going on about Darkness and shadow creatures. ...You're right, we all would have suspected they needed to be shipped off to a mental institution, but that doesn't take away from the fact that nobody knew anything about this beforehand. According to a few of the residents here, this has been going on a lot longer than I've been here. These shadow creatures have been attacking worlds for over a decade.

I heard that. ...But frankly, that's the best idea I've heard since I got here.
