If it’s the former, what is going on with that?

If you look at the universe structure, it's not entirely implausible to have some straight lines that don't intersect any bodies of mass, depending on how far back in time you're looking.

If it’s the latter, couldn’t this have traveled from one of the things behind it?

Only if that thing is/was ahead of the lightspeed/space expansion event horizon.
