"Abe hasn't spoken much along the way... Doesn't seem like a change in personality after several months of training in Hell. Rather, it's like he's suppressing something,"
During their journey through the mountain passage, Han Dong noticed Abe's unusually 'subdued' state.
He secretly opened the Little Demon Eye, intending to observe Abe's internal condition.

An instant of insight caused Han Dong to break out in cold sweat.
"This is..."
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, he saw within Abe an indescribable monstrous shadow, much like the scenario he faced against the lamp in the "Strange Tales".
The only difference was that Abe was in a desperate condition then, his own consciousness absent, resulting in the monstrous beast within him taking over and running amok.
Yet now, Abe seemed subdued and silent, giving off a 'struggling to maintain self-control' vibe... undoubtedly large changes brought about by his nearly year-long hellish training.
