   "This isn't funny anymore!!! I want my mom!" Ink clutched the hoodie close.
   "Ink snap out of it!" I shouted. This was no time to panic. No matter how much I wanted to curl up and cry. I have to be the mature one. "Don't freak out on me now!"
   "Error is gone!!! Geno is gone!!! Club is gone!!! I'm next!!!!" Ink was freaking out.
   "Ink snap out of it! We're scared to! We need to think!!" Thank goodness for Deccy. He was trembling and hadn't let go of my jacket since Club disappeared.
   Lightning crackled outside. Ink winced at the thunder that followed. "Great! Peachy! We're all going to die here!!!"
   "Ink!" I smacked him to get him to snap out of it. Its all I could think to do.
   He touched his cheek. His eyelights looked more focused now. "Sorry.." he muttered.
   "Ink listen. What are you scared of?" I asked softly.
   "White... and uhm... emptiness..." Ink muttered nuzzling into his scarf.
   "Okay. That's gotta be hard to use against you." Deccy couldn't seem to relax. His voice shook. He was last in line.
   I realized earlier but now it seems even worse. If we lose Ink. Then I'm next. And I know what they'll use against me.
   "We have got to figure out why this is happening." I sighed. "Come on...the ghost came from this way."
   " We're going toward the ghost!?" Ink squeaked.
   "Yes! We need to find out what this is!" I huffed. I could feel my hands trembling. Don't freak out. Don't freak out.
   Ink grumbled under his breath but went to follow Deccy and me. "I hate this. This was a stupid idea."
   Neither me nor Deccy chose to remind Ink that it was his idea. This was not the time.
   Whatever happened seemed to have calmed down. Maybe it really was just a prank and Geno, Error and Club were hiding. Good.
   I opened up another door. The room was pure white and empty. There was a key in the center.
   Alarms blared in my head. This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea. This is a trap. A trap.
   I saw Ink begin to tremble. "I'm not going in there."
   "I'll go get it." I sighed pushing the door open more.
   Dec shuffled his feet. Logically he should stay with Ink. He didn't want to let go of Fresh.
   "Ink stay right there in the open door way." I stepped inside knowing Dec wouldn't let go.
   I had the key in my hand before the door slammed. I darted over the door. "Ink!"
   There was a scream. The door slowly swung open. Ink was gone.

Ink is scared of White and emptiness. Like the anti void. This is canon.
