Well, the Canon needs to stand on its own. If something needs additional sources to explain something, then it should not stand as *is*. Especially since those outside sources unequivocally state that Gloom was rejected as a character/personification.

Since everything about the "Little people in your head" are actually thought forms, the "dark wave" could easily be interpreted as a manifestation of lighting, not as "another personified emotion". Especially without any sort of spoken dialog about it. Had one of them gone "Oh no! Who invited Gloom to the control room?" or even if there was a 6th empty seat, then perhaps it could be considered a personification.

But as it is, without reading other sources talking about the rejected character almost anyone watching the canon story will not walk away thinking that the dark wave was another Personified Emotion.
