Dark Six

**Dark Six** is a mysterious character who appears briefly whenever Six eats in *Little Nightmares*.

In *Little Nightmares II*, Dark Six seemingly appears during the Pale City Level of the game as well as in the secret ending.

## Appearance

Dark Six has exactly the same appearance as Six, wearing a raincoat that ends just above her knees with buttons, two pockets, and a rhombus-shaped hood. However, Dark Six possesses a shadowy silhouette compared to the real Six, her entire body being black as if it were made of darkness.

## *Little Nightmares*

In *Little Nightmares*, Dark Six appears whenever Six is eating, watching her as she devours her meal.

During The Prison chapter, while Six eats some bread given to her by another child, Dark Six can be seen standing atop some boxes, in the far right.

During The Lair chapter, Six is lured into a cage with a piece of meat left by the Janitor for her to eat. As Six eats the meat, Dark Six is seen standing high up on a pipeline near the ceiling, to the left.

Near the beginning of The Kitchen chapter, as Six feeds on a rat caught in a trap, Dark Six is seen sitting on some nearby carts in the room, to the right.

Near the end of The Guest Area chapter, as Six devours a Nome instead of the sausage it had offered her, Dark Six can be seen standing on the table above Six.

At the end of The Lady's Quarters chapter, after Six bites into the Lady's neck to feast on her, Dark Six can barely be seen in the background where the Lady lies, to Six's left.

## *Very Little Nightmares*

In *Very Little Nightmares*, she appears as one of the boxes that the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat can find near the end of the game.

## *Little Nightmares II*

After the Thin Man takes Six, a Glitching Remain that appears similar to Dark Six is left behind. Mono sadly looks at what remains of his kidnapped friend before it disappears.

When the Thin Man was close to getting Mono, the hero detaches a rail car from another to escape from the broadcaster. However, the train crashes to a stop in a subway tunnel, leaving him momentarily injured with a destroyed remote. The Glitching Remain appears in front of Mono, seemingly wanting to guide him to an exit. Hurt, but far from being down for the count, Mono pulls himself together and limps out the tunnel under her lead.

In the game's secret ending, after Six escapes from the Signal Tower without Mono, the Glitching Remain of Six appeared and looks down at a picture of the Maw before fizzling and fading away into the wind. This scene only plays if Mono has collected all of the Glitching Remains.

## Theories

* It's speculated Dark Six could potentially have a consciousness of her own and had been following Mono throughout his journey to save Six. This is supported by Dark Six's independent and sometimes playful behavior in the subway tunnel, where she is seen guiding and following Mono to the nearest exit, as well as her behavior in the secret ending, where she is seen looking towards the Maw poster. It's unknown why Dark Six looked at the Maw poster, however, it's suspected that Dark Six might have been aware of something Six was not and could've potential known of something important which could only be found at the Maw. It is currently unknown what Dark Six was trying to imply towards Six, but based on her frequent appearances in *Little Nightmares*, it's suspected to be something which required her to stay close to Six at all times.
* Six's walking animation at the end of the game when she kills and consumes the Guests is labeled as "«Dark Six»" in the game files, possibly hinting that both Six and Dark Six have merged into one being.
* It is speculated that Dark Six could possibly be Six's soul, separated from her after encountering The Thin Man, leaving her with a cold and emotionless personality near the end of *Little Nightmares II* and throughout *Little Nightmares*, and in a state of constant hunger as a result of the void left by the missing part of herself, an emptiness which could not be filled with food alone. Implying that the one acting on her behalf is not truly Six, but her body.
	+ Six's missing soul is suspected to be an additional factor in Six dropping Mono near the end of *Little Nightmares II* aside from the potential memory loss she is described to have in the *Little Nightmares Issue #1 comic*. Without her soul and in a state of amnesia near the end of *Little Nightmares II*, it is speculated that Six had interpreted Mono not as a friend, but as a threat for damaging her music box and painfully releasing her from the Transmission she had become dependent on, just as other Residents have. Her willingness to wait and catch Mono near the end being the result of instinct brought out by repetitive muscle memory resulting from her waiting and catching Mono multiple times throughout their journey together.
	+ Contrary, Six's willingness to hug the Nomes and provide them with a source of light in *Little Nightmares* could potentially be a sign of emotion, along with her seemingly hugging herself in the Secret Ending of *Little Nightmares 2*.

## Trivia

* The fact that Dark Six appears when Six consumes a meal or makes a kill leaves the impression that she or it is the manifestation of some darkness or evil related to Six. However, much of these assumptions are based on Six's actions alone during her time in the Maw, leaving Dark Six's true nature unknown.
* Dark Six may or may not have been a Glitching Remain, as when Six is captured by the Thin Man, the Glitching Remain left behind looks exactly like Dark Six. Although her body is more heavily detailed as a Glitching Remain in the Pale City, her appearance takes on a more solid form while appearing in the Maw. However, given *Little Nightmares II* is a prequel, her change in appearance may have been a change in the animation to better comply with the expansion of the story and franchise.
