- “The sky above, there isn’t a single star or even the moon there. One by one they twinkled out as I sat there and watched everything fade away around me.”
- — "Erosion"
The first portrayal of the Fear of Nothing, The Quiet claims us all. Described only as the complete absence of matter, the Quiet manifests as a crack in reality and has the ability to "erase" anything from existence, even Fears themselves. It is usually depicted as a passive entity, with no real mind of its own. According to the Archive, the Quiet likely came from an alternate reality as a result of that reality being "torn apart" in some way. It passes from universe to universe, and has been sighted in various different worlds. The Archive defines it as the opposite of reality and suspects that the Quiet's growth is responsible for the phenomena of Dimensional Bleeding.
The Quiet sometimes has servants, or at least worshipers, but seems to be unaware of their existence. Despite the Quiet not knowing nor caring about them, it appears to have a cult called the Hushed Monks and certain people whom it has "touched," which one person called the Sine Corda.
