[That ominous chuckle raises his hair on end, as does the flash of teeth. Those teeth could easily pierce right into him, puncturing the flesh and draining his blood. And here he'd thought that getting turned into a stone statue was the worst he had to worry about. Nope, turns out there's worse than that! Now there are monsters on the loose!
Except this monster looks awfully familiar. Not the teeth, the horns, the glowing eye(s?) or the tail. But that rust-colored hair, slumped posture, and unsmiling face? Those all belong to "Eyepatch Guy," otherwise known as "pz with a lot of numbers after it," otherwise also known as Fuuta-kun!
Even knowing the monster's identity, Hiyori can only gape. The fact that Fuuta seemed like such a pitifully weak person only renders the monster transformation that much more impactful. Why, he can hardly believe it. But here the guy is, saying this place "got him good," which is the understatement of the century from where Hiyori's standing (or cowering in fear, rather).
While Fuuta eyes the doorway, Hiyori considers diving out a window. He'd have to jump quite aways, but he has strong legs! He jumped off the roof of a shrine shortly before getting kidnapped here, and he landed on his feet back then! But there are other monsters down below, and he'd have to outrun them, too. And, well, that's a dicey prospect.
Maybe he doesn't need to run from this particular monster. As Fuuta keeps talking, he suggests himself to be lucid enough. No roaring, no hissing, no spitting flame, and no attempts to eat him (yet). He's in "good condition," he says, before correctly deducing Hiyori's predicament. And that gives him an idea that doesn't involve flinging himself out a window. If Fuuta's brain is still human, that means he can be reasoned with!]
Then I guess it's a good thing you found me.
[Hiyori straightens up on the cushions, no longer inching away with a terrified look in his eyes. On the contrary, he looks Fuuta straight in the eye(s?!), prepared to manipulate the hell out of him. How?
By appealing to his sense of justice! That's how.]
It's exactly as you said. I came here to visit my birds, and when I saw those monsters roaming around, all I could think to do was hide. But you won't kill me or eat me, will you? Attacking someone defenseless would be completely unjust. And I know how you feel about justice! ♪
[He smiles. Fuuta wouldn't want to make this smile disappear, would he??]
