As dangerous as Forty is, she is correct. When it comes to who or what is going to get the brunt of his attention and lethal force, it will always be the demon first. It's the only way he's stayed alive as long as he has back home, and it's a hard habit to break.

Forty may have deflected Helios' fire spell, but the Observer has not and Katsuya unloads again, aiming for each of its many eyes with frightening accuracy. Only the last shot goes wide--possibly too close to Forty for comfort but he isn't aiming at her. He's clutching his chest in pain.

The persona and he are linked. Injuries done to the catlike creature may be reduced but are still passed on to the Persona user. Helios recovers from the attack swifter than his human counterpart, eyes glowing a steadily brighter golden light as it shoots off an even stronger pillar of flame the demon's way.
