it's just. there's nothing human here, or humane, to use as an anchor. he's reaching out and everything he grabs onto -- isn't a piece of a person going through war. it is the war and chaos itself, the bloody, screaming, swelling, growing conflict encompassing untold thousands of lives. he shatters into a hundred fragments and goes through armies' and histories' worth of minds before reassembling into a ragged fractal of self. he tastes the blood in the mouth of every soldier who has ever tasted it. heaves himself up to put his shaking hands on a weapon he (wants to use) (never wanted to use) (will reluctantly use) (will eagerly use), and aim, and ram it home.
he wears man's skin, and he can be influenced while living a man's lifetime, but Yuber is a demon. he is the essence of something, distilled and given sentience until it can be touched and pursued and approached with unfortunate bargains.
