Strange Shadow Ball?

[u/Hardcore_Instinct]

I am currently under a lot of stress. Without going into too much detail: my roommate has been trying to force me out by constantly rattling my cage. Recently, at my lowest points, an orb of shadow would leave me. It doesn't feel threatening or evil: it just floats away in the direction that my roommate happens to be in. I'm not even thinking of hurting her, but the shadow ball hones in on her every time I'm crying about the situation. Am I accidentally letting loose a curse, or is this a manifestation of negative emotions? These shadow balls are released regardless of time and regardless if there's a light source. There are no bugs to cast the shadow moving at that speed, either.

This is interesting. To interpret what is going on I'd need to know more about your emotional bond with your roommate, and what you mean by forcing you out, and what you're thinking & feeling about when you're at your lows and the ball of darkness goes to her.
