** Mephy also suffers this briefly [[spoiler: when witnessing the aftermath of when Dark was thrown down a set of stairs]]. He also has this happen whenever his senses are overloaded, leaving him hardly functional until the stressor has passed.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Dark's reaction to having his mind invaded, also his hatred/fear of contact.
** A more lighthearted example in-universe from Shadow's POV, where he seems to be internally questioning Dark's *ahem* preferences. It probably doesn't help Shadow that he finds Dark refusing to leave a closet at some point, Dark makes the comment of enjoying nuts (in reference to a vegetarian option for protein) and his favorite food is a type of melon, or that Dark has a tendency to be found hugging onto a very confused Mephy in the morning, and Dark's possessive nature with said hedgehog.
*** WordOfGod confirms that Dark doesn't understand gender roles, and is in fact technically genderless, and only identifies as "male" because he's "bonded" to Mephy, and reflects characteristics of Mephy.

* DroppingTheBombshell: [[spoiler: A particularly dark (no pun intended) one with Mephy's alternate future self, Phee, who is 24, in "Rift", who explains that the reason he's also traversing through Time, is because Future!Dark went mad over nearly losing Future!Iblis to a reaction to a solar storm (as Iblis' fire abilities are quite sensitive to environmental change), and has disappeared after a week of silence, save for troubling behavior (explained by Phee as being as though Future!Dark couldn't sort or handle his emotions). Present!Dark makes the horrific conclusion that Future!Dark has disconnected from his Emotions, and might believe that altering the time flow will prevent Iblis from getting seriously ill in the first place. Even more, it's implied that Phee's abilities are being affected by the absence of Future!Dark, as Mephy and Dark both make note of the "empty Aura". Mephy himself makes note of how difficult it will be to sleep that night after all the bombshells dropped in that one conversation alone]]

* HatesBeingTouched: Unless you're Mephiles, an innocent pet, or [[spoiler:Iblis post-side change]], then expect this from Dark on a regular basis. Partially justified, as Dark is paranoid, and believes that anyone outside that small circle would never be interested in him enough other than to hurt him. Also, due to a decade of total isolation, save for Mephiles, Dark is not accustomed to such gestures and immediately goes into panic mode. Sometimes, he might even panic if the one doing so is in fact that small circle. He warns about the possibility often.
