There was phase 2 Kai talk. So,since it’s almost 5AM, headcanon ramblings from Skype will be posted here.

[3:47:43 AM] ☆ Teru: He’d generally supposed to be like, yeah creepier, more merciless, and more aloof and cold generally. And then of course his glitches make him more malicious anyway— Him not humoring Kaitou there I guess would just be a small part of it :’D

[3:48:05 AM] ☆ Teru: At the same time, he would still care for the fams, but likely not show it in the same way, or be affectionate about it…

[3:49:05 AM] ☆ Teru: ponders. It’d likely be shown more in some sort of acts of protection? That might be… quite overdoing it…

[3:50:42 AM] ☆ Teru: Stuff like that, but considering the circumstances with sleep mode there’s not as much opportunity for some of that to be shown. Aside from I suppose watching them—or rin in this case— in her sleep

[3:53:06 AM] ☆ Teru: I’m not sure if he’d still cook though :’D It’s unlikely, and if any food came up he’d straight up BR it and leave it. It’d probably still taste the same as his homecooked, but since he’d be rather… expressionless and emotionless about it it might make it seem different anyway.

[3:55:53 AM] ☆ Teru: With the aforementioned protection— and I suppose the fact he’d even bother BRing food and ice cream for them— as well as things like the idea of him properly putting Rin to bed if she’s sleeping next to it, would show that he still cares. meanwhile, towards other people, he’d be incredibly cruel and highly likely to cause some sort of harm.

[3:58:06 AM | Edited 3:58:48 AM] ☆ Teru: That also isn’t to say the fams would be free from… scares, if he would get mad at something :’D If Kaitou would annoy him… he’d be punished, for instance.

[3:59:06 AM] ☆ Teru: Flung into the walls violently. Like a more painful callback to early times :’D ;;

[4:04:35 AM] ☆ Teru: …I guess in comparison… phase 3 would actually be—despite appearances— entirely aloof and cold, with almost no signs of affection to them. In fact, he might ignore them. … but ignoring them so e doesn’t target them, while if others were to get on his bad side he’d insta-kill them. And otherwise, use his much more powerful powers to really, really screw with people. Like, think Silent Hill.

[4:06:04 AM] ☆ Teru: I suppose a way fams would notice affection then would be like… I dunno, the fact he isn’t killing them??? If they get sucked up in the silent hill-esque screwings with they’re lead on a comparatively safer, mild path—?? but even then he might still mess with them out of curiosity, but not as badly as with ‘unimportant’ people.

[4:09:31 AM] ☆ Teru: I can imagine he might end up being quite brutal with other people… and like Cheese, he’d likely stick in his ‘regular’ BR form— like, phase 2, as opposed to sticking in his phase 3. Phase 3 would show up if he’s wanting to  terrify someone or if… well, no mercy.

[4:10:04 AM | Edited 4:10:31 AM] ☆ Teru: the difference would also be with his generally being in the phase 2 form,  the scarf mouths would likely be able to appear, as well as the unprovoked stomach eye mouth
