I think he's anxious about it being a strong MGoD believer, then he realized the guy must be weak because he's not female and can't be higher than sequence 7 or 8.

As in, he's being influenced by Adam and unconsciously associating Adam with the sun and finding comfort in it? Potentially implying Adam has secretly taken over the Eternal Blazing Sun?

I'm guessing it will be revealed that like the Bizaror Sorcerer ritual, the strength of the audience/participants of the ritual plays a role. For Klein, Adam alone spectating his performance was equivalent to thousands of ordinary people. I think it will be similar for Lumian where his companions are strong enough to match the 30 person teams requirement even if it's only like 5-6. Ludwig could even be considered part of his team potentially and may be equivalent to 30 people on his own.

This could be his authentic feelings now but I recall there was another moment earlier where Lumian tried to convince him to leave and he was suspiciously resistant, implying he was influenced for some reason to stay (by Adam, most likely).

We already know Adam and the True Creator have merged, based off the honorific name the Aurora Order prays to changing and incorporating references to the Spectator pathway.

I think the gap between demigod and sequence 5 is large enough that almost all demigods have the means to capture a sequence 5 without harming them, no matter the pathway.

Maybe to Mad Lady not being 'pure' enough means he's not crazy enough. That even though his emotions fluctuate and his actions are unpredictable, he's not as far gone as her and is more calculating instead of insane.

She's a true charlatan. She made him think she's thousands of years old when in reality she's less than 40 years old...

I think this is why Bethel Abraham was so feared. High sequence Door pathway beyonders can be in multiple places at once like this. And she's probably only sequence 2; imagine this but the strongest KOA.

It's not that it got scared. It instinctively attacks the weakest person in its surroundings and Lumian just changed from the weakest to the not weakest with that move.

This. As seen by Cheek, you can even ascend to Sequence 0 while being resentful about your new gender (though it did have side effects, just not an instant loss of control).

I had to look it up but a mischief is what you call a group of mice, like a herd of sheep or a flock of geese.

i'm pretty sure he only thought he would be able to temporarily contend with a saint; Lumian is the one who said he's at the level of an angel

More than just those two have danger premonition. Hunters have it too.

Either Sheperd who grazed a Traveler or a Traveler who copied a Sheperd's powers

Is it homesick? Does hearing its mother tongue make it less depressed?

Pretty sure it doesn't let you see through walls. It works to see wraiths and ghosts and stuff but only if they're in your line of sight, not through obstacles.

You're misreading that sentence. It actually is confirmation that this is indeed Loki. It's basically saying: "This is Loki, but his objectives may not be the same as the rest of April Fool's."

He's posing as someone whose never participated in the ritual though
