Darren on Need A Light?

First meeting remark

I ran, I ran all the way back here. But it
followed me. It killed everyone else.

ran (or) it
It, IT. All I see are flames. You'll find out
fast enough, you're locked in here too, just
like we were.

flames
Burning and searing. All I remember is
smoke and fire.

locked

... and the only way to leave is through that
thing- good luck!

everyone
Everyone's dead. Greg, Steven, Ed. You too.
You shouldn't have come down here. You'll
never leave now.

name

My name doesn't matter. Yours won't either,
in a moment.

death

I ran, I ran all the way back here. But it
followed me. It killed everyone else.

beacon (or) bomb (or) code (or) M-79 (or) grenade (or) launcher (or) infra-red (or) goggles

Forget that, man! Try to get out of here,
maybe you can make it, who knows. But
forget that!

him

It, IT. All I see are flames. You'll find out
fast enough, you're locked in here too, just
like we were.


Any word that doesn't trigger a new conversation will elicit the following replies:

I don't understand ...

I don't know anything about that anymore.


Additional Notes

Although Darren won't reveal his name it is possible to work out who he is by a process of elimination. However according to Chuck Gray's Dead Scripts (Part 2/2) there is text associated with Darren that doesn't appear to be triggerable. The text is as follows:

That!s my name, but don!t tell him!

and also

he died somewhere else. Everyone did.

The first piece of text would suggest that Darren was suppose to respond to his name but the word trigger doesn't appear to work. More intriguing is the reference to "him". Who is "him"? If you happen to ask Darren about "him" you'll get the following response:

It, IT. All I see are flames. You'll find out
fast enough, you're locked in here too, just
like we were.

Not exactly elucidating. And why doesn't Darren want his name revealed to "him"?

This is not the first reference to "him" in the game. Remember the German on "Welcome, Tasty Primate"? He responds to the word "name" as follows:

Names are unimportant, but I know yours.
I'll never tell him, don't worry. I know
better.

and if you ask about "him" he replies:

You know. I can't say. He who rises with
the tides, master of all things small and
insignificant.

Is "him" a reference to the Dreaming God perhaps?

The response to "Death" is the same as the first meeting remark.

Darren will not respond to the names "Sean", "Jason" or "John".

Unlike John and Ed, Darren will not respond to the word "radio" but will to "beacon".

There is no second meeting remark associated with Darren.
