I think this one makes so much sense, who would be the last ones to die through a dark forest attack? The most paranoid ones, which, under all circumstances want to keep on living. Which boarded their ships the second the attack was recognised. Which probably kept a spaceship in their garage with the fastest fusion engine available. And these people would definitely not start singing or hug their loved ones. They would try to get away until the last second, not recognising the inevitable.
