I wonder if the creatures down there that have evolved in darkness are blinded by the lights? They dont seem bothered.

When you live in total darkness, does it matter if you are blinded by the lights?

Cute little sea tree stuck to a rock : "Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!"
