=== Nemesis === The Abyss forces you to deal with your fears through visions and phantom pursuers. These solid entities aren't actually Others, but parts of the people in question that they have been trying to run away from. These torments are extremely varied and personal.<ref name=":2">Q: Are the shadows that pursue you in the abyss, like Carl and the black fish, as well as the visions Blake sees, unique to the drains or universal to everywhere in the abyss?<br><br>A: Universal, but very personal to the individuals, to the extent that I would urge avoiding lumping them into one category. Green Eyes' shadow, for example, isn't a bundle of memory and just wants to cause her physical harm. She is always, so long as she is in the abyss, prey of the Black Fish. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/4keygh/carl/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> Possibilities include: * A predator which pursues you and tries to kill you, reminding you of your place on the food chain.<ref name=":2" /> * A personification of a specific trauma you suffered, which can either be escaped by sacrificing the memories or embraced (enduring a distorted vision of the trauma once again). * True but misleading visions of how people you knew are coping without you in the real world. * A detailed and highly specific dream of an entire potential life lived in cooperation with the Abyss, filled with knowledge that it's a real possibility.
