A small gelatin cube with a jet-black core that is consumed to suppress memories. Depending on how often the Void is consumed there are varying levels of nullification.

Glitterstim synthesized with Ryll makes up most of the powdery core within the drug. The translucent gelatinous shell contains a faint hue of blue, and is mostly made from boiled Mairan tentacles. It is extremely rare and very expensive, often times requiring specific Underworld connections to even obtain any.

The Void was created mainly for the slave trade, as it makes it much easier to subdue and retrain them without the need to beat and break them. Some people even use it for themselves, whether it be aiming to get rid of unwanted memories and trauma or other private uses. It is also used by the same organization that made it to better control and manipulate their own operatives. However, this drug is extremely addictive, and if consumed without a reasonable level of moderation can even lead to death.

The Void targets the brain's neurons and most of their connecting pathways in the hippocampus, then effectively renders them dormant. It is not a complete deletion of the memories, as there have been rare occurrences when subjects have been known to overcome the effects and reawaken those neurons and pathways for brief moments. These events usually only occur during moments of great peril when the intense neural activity reaches a point where the affected areas are stimulated enough to reactivate. This information is kept confidential within the Underworld organization that produces it, while keywords such as "delete", "erase", and "nullify" are used to mislead the drug's effects so as to keep the imperfect product's flaw a secret.

The pleasurable and telepathic boosting effects of the Glitterstim traces in the Void can often times be experienced shortly after the drug is ingested, making the consumer more susceptible to the telepathic influence of others for a brief period of time. Each consumption usually causes at least one memory in the consumer's mind to go dormant, with daily consumption leading to a nearly complete erasure of memories after only a couple weeks. Reflecting on specific memories after taking the drug will cause those memories to be targeted by the Void's nullifying effects as it seeks out the neural activity in those areas, otherwise they are selected at random.

A write-up for the drug that nullified Kyosuke Yamato. The little-known Underworld organization behind it is also directly linked to his family, and this drug was one of the projects his mother managed for them. This is a piece of a greater set of lore meant to expand on the Yamato family and the mysterious organization they are part of.

Inspired by and based on Glitteryll, with enough changes to hopefully make Void a unique variant and less of a copy.
