Why Rin look so scared? Has she met Will before??

Nope! But, well…

If your big sibling was in someone elses body, and a ‘mind is the plaything of the body’-type situation was going on… especially given how Will’s body kept the. Very, very far along corruption, which is specifically for the purpose of being an avatar for the otherwordly being responsible for BR, she has reason to be nervous.

That is Kai in Will’s body, she knows it’s Kai, but all of that I think would have anyone be at least a little weary.

the ironic thing is also, comparatively, Kai surprisingly has pretty good self control given what they have to deal with… constantly

but I’m not sure how that’d really factor in if being in Will’s body, phase 3, that specific form of corruption

of course, even if without all that corruption suddenly, he had essentially been shaped into it, especially in how looonnngg it’d be going on

his current ‘himself’ would likely still not be…. good, and likely still not entirely like how he used to be beforehand

but it is technically an improvement

randomly feel like explaining those doodles a little more:

considering will’s actual body is that. weird. eye for an head shadow tendrils in a suit with claws

the more ‘human’ looking look, the phase ½ looking look like. is pretty much just completely a disguise/illusion type thing

so technically if Kai was switched into will’s ‘body’, they could make themself look…. close to themself as opposed to looking completely like Will

meanwhile with Kai’s body, Kai isn’t able to really shapeshift or illusion somethin without it looking like a version of them anyway, and it’d take more energy too for them, so Will in Kai’s body would just. Have to stick to the ‘normal’ Kai illusion and just still looking like Kai

kai’s in phase 1, rather early on in phase 1, while Will’s been in phase 3 for at least a century. Not only that, Will’s corruption is specifically for the sake of him acting as essentially an avatar to the main BR…. thing

But that’s still mainly attached to the ‘body’ in this case, so with this specific body switch scenerio, Kai’s suddenly forced into that

while Kai’s is just… mainly connected to their glitch mode and not so much being an avatar or anything, but even then phase 1 still has them as mostly themself, so Will in Kai’s body suddenly isn’t under such the huge influence and whims as the corruption in his body is

which must also be Incredibly Freaking Weird since it’s been like an actually super long time since he’s even been anything close to ‘himself’, whatever ‘himself’ even is now. Ironically, in being in someone elses body.
