The devil is asking for a friend of his. they were playing video games and all of a sudden the guy asked 'do you ever feel bad about your body?' and the sudden implied intimacy was startling, coming from an acquaintance, maybe a near friend, who had previously only asked for him to stop hogging all the powerups. the devil didn't know what to say so he laughed it off, and they finished the game and both acted as if everything was fine, but the question, and the way it made him feel, has lingered with him since.
