[On the surface, Setsuna is clearly in pain. He doesn't scream, but again, his skin distorts again, crystal spikes rapidly protruding and dissipating at the disturbance. Underneath the surface was where the real suffering was happening, however.
It's a lot of information to process. Even with his quantum brainwaves, it takes all he has to hold on to who he is as Barbatos sinks its teeth into him. He holds, though, holds himself together as this deluge of information washes over him and through him. And its not just knowledge either, he can feel Barbatos rewriting some of his neural pathways, trying to build what the Alaya-Vijnana nanomachines would have already had in place.
The ELS don't like it, but they bend anyway, as its Setsuna's will to allow it.
It only takes several seconds, but it feels like an eternity before its finally done. When it subsides, Setsuna allows a moment for it all to settle and for the everything around him to come back into focus. He flexes his fingers once, as if testing them out, before gripping the controls again. He feels different... yet not. Despite being partially in his head, Barbatos isn't a part of him, not like the ELS are, but Barbatos is an extension of him. It's a subtle difference, but one he's aware of.
Still. Let's see if they work together this time.]
