Is the pet squirrel trying to search underground now? And still hasn't been retrieved by his agents in Cheliax?
...oh, the squirrel is clearer this time, in His sight; clearer than it has been since nearly its first day of being incredibly lost.
It is scared of being useless to Asmodeus and abandoned! This is clearer in Asmodeus's domain-sight than a lot of other things that squirrel has been thinking. Being afraid of His judgment, especially for good reasons, is what Asmodeus is all about!
The tiny fragment of Asmodeus notes this visible fear, and updates His probability that the pet squirrel is in fact useless and should be abandoned. But the squirrel still shows hope alongside fear, though that part is much less legible to Him, of course. And pet squirrels do take decades to train even to this pathetic state, so Asmodeus does not drop it on the spot.
