Well, I hoped more in a trick played with the "he can't connect the dots" using the sentence about Hilgya instead of the "sensory overload".
And, in all honesty, I don't like the idea that an evil spirit can become good whatever you tell it (because he has become good now, right?) for the reasons I explained in the other thread.
ANYWAY... it was nicely narrated. So much that it almost seems acceptable, now.
