Yeah, it's unfortunately a product of her situation. Being isolated and excluded can make people do very questionable things. Hopefully she'll actually get to know the demon.The small one had some kind of weird parasocial friendship going with someone she'd never actually talked to before.
Looking at the other shots, the space between Beem’s split pupils is much smaller in all other panels so I’d assume it’s intentional. Good detail catch, dude.I love how in the panel where Iruma is reflected in Beem’s eye, it looks like he’s wearing a little beret and scarf. Very artist-like, though whether that was Sensei’s intent is unclear.
