[Szayel has a plain composition notebook in his hands, as well as his purple pen]
I would... ahem... I would like to speak with you about the circumstances of your death. While the details are still, mmm... fresh. I can't force you -- [well, he could, but then ichigo would kick his ass] -- but I do humbly request. Getting as much data as I can is crucial.
Mr. Escardos? [Szayel seems surprised, but he writes it down in his notebook] I suppose it's always the ones we don't expect. After all, the Jorogumo is Rean Schwarzer. [he taps his pen on the notebook] Can you walk me through what happened?
[Hmm... Wonder if there's a way to take them out from this side...?]
He came to my room really late at night. I figured he wanted to kill me, so I left my key for the others in the couch and he noticed. We talked for a while and he kept going on about sacrificing me to his god. He thinks the puppy is like his savior or something?
[It's weird.]
We went outside and I tried to stun him with a program, but... it was based on sound frequencies. I tuned it to knock a person unconscious, but I guess it's different if it's a wolf spirit!
He does, doesn't he? He's very bad at being a monster, though.
[Szayel shrugs. If the Jorogumo is going to kill again, Rean is really going to have to do better next time]
[he nods as Yoshi speaks, quickly taking down notes] So you did try to defend yourself. That was a good thought, sound is a powerful and underutilized weapon. I'm sorry it didn't work. As for the puppy... it's no savior. That puppy was just an accident. But what kind of "god" was he talking about?
Yes. His trap design was... well, frankly it was laughable. If I had not walked into it directly, he wouldn't have caught me at all.
[more nodding, more writing. This is all very good information! He hadn't heard anything about a 'God' from Rean..] Sounds like some strange fanaticism to me. [he tilts his head with a sympathetic smile] I see... there was a cleaver missing... did he use that? Or simply the wolf's claws and fangs?
My theory is that it was for... well. The gross-out factor. You are an innocent, well-liked boy. Seeing your body in that condition would be psychological warfare. [he shakes his head] I don't understand, though. The Jorogumo was definitely feeding on my body. It seems like yours was just mutilated.
So! The Apprentice -- Kurosaki Ichigo. When I died, I found him and he was quite injured. As it turns out, he had tried to take on the Bargest himself. The beast is incredibly fast, and inflicted wounds on Kurosaki before fleeing. I took Kurosaki into my body to heal him, but it seems the wolf beast left being many pieces of its soul energy in the wounds. I was unable to digest it, so I had hoped to just... expunge it. But when I did that... ah... a puppy happened, instead.
[he pushes his glasses up with a serene and knowing smile]
I'll dumb it down for you, dear boy. Kurosaki was injured by the Barghest. I healed him. In doing so, I absorbed the tiny bits of itself the Barghest left behind. Those bits combined with parts of me and Kurosaki and became a puppy.
I asked. They won't give it to me. [pout] But Mr. Nanase, rest assured; I do not intend to spend the rest of eternity in the belly of this strange, hotel-shaped beast. I will escape -- but I must unlock the secrets of this place first.

I couldn't really tell? He mostly thought my eyes would be a good sacrifice to it. Sorry, we were mostly talking about whether or not I was garbage.
[DERAILED BY SHITTY SELF-ESTEEM.]
After I tried to stun him, he turned into a wolf and attacked me. The first was... cutting open my abdomen. After that, he took my eyes.
[He's a bit more blank here, reciting the events.]

He talked about my eyes a lot, so I'm guessing that's what it ate the most of.
