[ True to his word, Sanae's being careful with this, handling it as delicately as he can. It could be painful if botched, and that's one of the better ways for things to go wrong. Here, there are chances things could get a hell of a lot worse than 'painful' -- but Joshua's code won't respond much until his Soul has been altered, can't be changed with finality until that part is done.
His influence strengthens, deepens, pulling and twisting and warping everything Joshua is, and this is something he's never even come close to doing before. It's beyond twisting and suppressing; he's doing actual damage, trying to fragment Josh's Soul. There are any number of ways to corrupt a pure being, bring it down to a lower form, and not one of them is pleasant. ]
