You woke up somewhere and had to do puzzles to escape. There was something about darkness—first appearing when you started a casette and disappearing when you completed a word scramble—and how it took different forms...?
[Puzzles, darkness, near death experiences... It was fun. (No.)]
There was someone we had to save from the darkness, but— [A beat, as her expression shifts to something more troubled.] It was odd. He didn't have to die like Mary.
He said... [She pauses, as if trying to go for the exact phrasing.] Maybe there are other ways to snuff out the darkness if we keep getting rid of it as it spreads.

He was a native of the world the gateway brought us to. We were spat out of the place before we could finish interrogating him.
[Which was, uh, rude.]
no subject
I see. Did you learn anything from him?
no subject
Nothing useful. He gave us his sob story, but all we got was more cryptic bullshit when we asked about the darkness.
no subject
Can I ask what he said specifically?
no subject
And that's when we got kicked out.
[so thanks for nothing, gateway.]
no subject
Certainly convenient timing.

[
... but, anyway:]
We found a recording that talked about the darkness, too. But we didn't get to retrieve it.

What do you think?

If it's talking about darkness, it can mean that you need to understand yourself. Your worse parts, as well.

[hm!!]
It sounds like a warning to me. Don't bleed yourself out for others, or else you'll fail to help anyone at all.
