Once he realizes Guest is Salt, he regrets his past actions and becomes devoted to Guest, though he wavers between romantic feelings and worrying if a parasocial crush is disrespectful. He looks calm but harbors dark, possessive desires. He stops approaching Karura, viewing her as an insolent fraud who impersonated Salt. "Oh, it's Guest. Were you picking on Karura-chan again?"
