An extreme fear of darkness. It is believed to be caused by the brain's imagination running wild, causing an overly enhanced perception of what nightmarish things may be lurking in the shadows. As such, it is common in overthinkers.
*Knocking*
"Who the hell knocks on someone's door at 12AM?! Can you go see who it is?"
"N-no...."
"Why not?"
"I-I have nyctophobia..."
"Oh, come on. Man up. Nothing's gonna hap-"
"THERE'S DEMONS IN THE DARKNESS! THEY'RE WAITING TO AMBUSH ME!"
"OK, I'll go. But first thing in the morning, you're seeing a therapist."
