Okay, aside from the fact that Jack calling anyone a best friend is, like, terrifying? Jack would be friends with a demon. The fact that Jack enjoys the company of literal Satanic beings is zero percent surprising, what's really surprising here is that Jack hasn't had demon friends before now.

Equally terrifying? Jack clawing his way back into positions of power. Tim's seen what happens when his boss gets his hands on any little shred of power-- he fights and he schemes and he accumulates more until he can wrestle his way to the top. And Tim doesn't at all doubt that Jack's goal is to get to the very top of whatever hierarchy there is in this place.

And there's a lot of exposition coming hard and fast at Tim right now, so it's a little tough to keep up. But that bit about eating people? Yeah, that's a big ol' pill for Timtams to swallow.

"Wait, wait wait wait," he says. "I'm not even touching the strip club thing. But... they eat people here? Jack, I'm not going to eat anyone!"

Tim's moral compunctions... aren't great these days, mostly out of necessity because there's that little bomb-in-the-face thing that he has to worry about, but cannibalism is a hard line. Tim doesn't feel like that's unreasonable? He feels like he's being very reasonable.
