It should have been unnerving to see the new William. His old personality and consciousness had died the moment Ves shattered his spiritual potential.
Ves truly killed him at that time. The fact that he managed to bring William's spirit back to life did not discount the reality that the old William was gone!
Neither his original existence nor the contamination from Nyxie survived the transition intact. Instead, they had been broken up into shards and merged back into an entirely new whole along with some other ingredients.
The result was a new entity that resembled William Urbesh but actually bore only a partial relation to his old self!
Yet it was exactly because of this new start that Ves became reassured by how William ended up. While he may behave taciturn and anti-social in the presence of others, that was actually something good.
