NO 

'nonononononononono this can't be happening' he thought.

Ink was, to say the least, a bit shocked. 

When they had finally gotten into the anti-void, only to find a note? Ink definitely thought this was a trap at first. He could tell that everyone else was already uneasy, but he knew they wouldn't let their guard down. 

That's when he picked up the letter, while glancing around at his surroundings. He hadn't been to the antivoid much, because he really didn't like the white, but he knew that something was off. He couldn't place the feeling, but he felt that something, other than Error, was missing. 

He decided to focus on that later. Then he unfolded the note and began reading.

As he began reading the first few sentences, the initial uneasiness in his non-existent stomach began to grow. That's when he saw the next few words on the page. 'If you're reading this, then that hopefully means I'm dead.'

 Oh...  Oh no

Ink Immediately understood what this letter was. It was a suicide note. He felt almost numb on the inside, and the unease only grew. Sure, Ink personally didn't care for Error, but he knew Nightmare and his gang did. 

wait-

Nightmares gang. What was he going to tell them? What was he going to tell everyone here? Was it his fault? Oh god they were all going to hate him weren't they oh god oh god oh no. Ink slowly began losing himself in panicked mutterings, over-analyzing things as he usually did,  until one thought snapped him out of it. 'I have to read the rest of the letter. I owe him that much.'

He really wished he didn't do that. 

While he was continuing reading the letter the dread inside of him washed over his soul. (Ink has a soul in this btw)  Something else also rose up inside of him. Rage.

Now, Ink wasn't really a violent person most of the time, and even while fighting Error he tried to keep damage to a minimum. But as he read the letter, as he read what this deity-this thing forced Error to go through, he felt angrier than he ever had. He also felt a soul crushing guilt build up. 'This is my fault', he thought. 'Error was forced to kill people, was getting hurt, because of me'

He knew that in the letter Error told him not to blame himself, but Ink was just self destructive like that. As he read about how Error actually really loved his creations, and how he cared so much about the people he called family, he really felt the despair inside of him. Error was dead. Probably. It was not a comforting fact that he had tried to take his own life before and failed, but Ink knew that no one came back from the void. 

He read all of the messages  he had written for the others. He could read it with all of the tears that had gathered in his eyesockets, and he was barely holding himself together. 

As he read Errors final goodbye, he felt something inside him break, and he began sobbing uncontrollably.

Dreams Pov

Dream immediately rushed over to Ink who was sobbing on the floor, and he felt extremely worried for his friend.
