[Level-headed... He can't really argue with that, can he? Or at least he couldn't, before... this. Just like with the harpy, in the best case scenario, this is purely performative; in the worst, the fog has seriously screwed with his head.
... Somehow, though, he was less sure with the harpy. When it comes to Atem... it's easier to believe that this, too, is part of some game he's playing.
Still, the Boss may be right when he calls it pointless.]

[The word felt odd on his tongue. Food. It's only natural that the Boss would put it that way, since he's affected by the hunger, but for Doppio - who is unbelievably unaffected, against all odds immune when not even the Boss is--
It all calls to mind the sensation of ants crawling under his skin.
When the game goes sideways - the humans press the buttons, the trick is revealed, the shade lashes out - Doppio is, in a sense, grateful for the distraction.]
