Now that he's got a good look at the guy, Demyx looks... well, to be honest, healthier, in that way people with hearts look compared to people without them. You never realize how subtly attuned your brain and eyes are to microexpressions, to tiny flickers of emotion in the eyes and around the mouth, until you interact with a person who doesn't make them at all, who just seems Off all the time in that bad-special-effects way. But here - he's tanner, he opens his eyes wider, he doesn't seem so comically exaggerated or out in space the way he used to.

A decent heart looks good on anyone. ]
