Bepo speaks his mind without restraint, often blunt to the point of rudeness. He doesn't second-guess himself, doesn't worry about how others feel, and certainly doesn't feel the need to smooth things over. If anything, he seems amused by tension rather than uncomfortable with it. Even his usual warmth toward others has flipped. Instead of quiet kindness, there's a sharp edge to his interactions, teasing at best, openly dismissive at worst.
