Ryoji knows what this is. He knows what his own transformation was like, and he knows how painful the transition can be. It's causing him to shake as he remembers, even as he still stands his ground, and that skull being turned towards him makes him flinch just slightly, but more in sympathy than in any fear.
"Please... calm down. I know this is hard, but you have to stay calm, or it will only hurt more." Ryoji's voice, for his part, is as soothing as he can make it, even as he brings Thanatos into the back of his mind, just in case.
It turns out that was a wise decision, as the next time the monster looks properly at them, it looks like it's determined its foe. The claw won't connect, but Ryoji still reacts immediately, raising a hand and creating a slight distortion in the air, a shimmering swirling of wind that surrounds Watts and himself like a force field. When he speaks again, his voice is more firm.
"You will not hurt anyone. I know you're suffering, but that's no excuse. You have to calm down."
