yeah i guess we are gonna ignore how he started opening up and getting involved with the sinners more and more, at first he refused to even tell information about himself despite being asked to by gregor, later on he started talking to the sinners unprompted (for example advising don to focus on her breath and talking to sinclair about him being distressed by the social situation at h corp in an attempt to improve his state), he valued heathcliffs life over the golden bough despite it being the priority target of the lcb, popped ego all by himself and acted out of line, he also started doing favors without dantes orders like the massages in the lcb check-up, he shared a very personal fact about his mother scolding him like outis did scold heathcliff and don in the miracle intervallo, he definitely conversed with rodion about his teaching plan in spring cultivation (by taking her advice on using your own special talents for the lesson topic), also he started being way more proactive in combat in comparison to the start of canto 3 where he just stood and did nothing until siegfried was 3 seconds away from the sinners AND his manager, in contrast to that he immediately pulled dante away from danger in twining threads and generally interacted more with his surroundings, he spoke to the dihui star in canto 9 talking about their intentions to reclaim the bough and in the canto 8 ending CG he was seen talking to xichun and wei regarding old documents due to xichun most likely having to manage information manually again, hells chicken is self explanatory and we can clearly see that he was also actively using puns in his ramble indicating his less serious side, in S.E.A. he literally conversed with ryoshu using SANGRIA which shows that he does step out of his usual and strictly blunt attitude as seen in those two examples, also he joins the conversation about smoking in canto 9 too and once again opens up about his personal side despite it having no purpose for his job, upon closer examination you can notice him doing unexpected and simpler things in CGs like playing the panflute in canto 2, being a mess with ketchup in canto 3 and learning how to smile at the end of c7
