[ Kaz's mind had been a blank before, but now it's a open book. Not only Kaz, but... that something else that he'd felt that day in the jungle, when he'd healed the boy. He's sufficiently surprised by this, that it takes him a moment to process the content of Kaz's thoughts.
...
Ah.
It's differernt from when Ket died. He'd seen the boy's corpse, still stupidly smiling, and there was a Normal miscreant to blame. Hearing about it second hand.... Kaz's feelings matter more to him, particularly newly laid out before him like this. So he's better able to intellectualize things: "death" in this place isn't permanent. It's more like Player I game over.
That said, being eaten sounds gruesome. Ugh, these idiot kids. ]
Thanks for telling me.
[ He opens the door a little wider and stands aside. ]
[Kazuya's gaze snapped from the doorframe to Hyoubu, looking briefly alarmed. Both...?
"Hrrrrnn..."
Bel's growl rumbled to the far edges of Kazuya's skull, like someone had jammed a pneumatic drill in the very centre of his brain. The discomfort of it was enough to jolt him out of his half-panicked staring, and he lowered his gaze again, staring at Hyoubu's feet. How did he...? He knew he could read minds, but didn't Bel-
"I am not wasting my time protecting your every thought, even if I detest spies."
Right]
I... are you sure?
[You know. Demon possessed. Said demon awake and very much radiating utter hatred in Hyoubu's direction. Are you really sure?? Even Kazuya was a little frightened of himself at this point, and he knew for a fact that Bel couldn't do anything he didn't want it to]
