>What effect does your Idolon have on you?
Empiric can be seen as an alternate path. If someone was more supernaturally inclined, you could even say that Empiric was a past life he'd lived through. More experienced, altruistic, these are things he can grow into more as he shares consciousness with him with every trip to the Idea World. It's not that this sense of helping others was not there, more that he's suppressing them to focus more on his goals. In most scenarios, Kazu and Empiric go hand in hand, mostly so that he doesn't have to think too hard about what to do and so they can take care of the situation ASAP.

>Do you even realize its happening
It's not like people are going to notice him much due to still being a weirdo, but it does make him more open to others. Taking into consideration other people's feelings and trying his best to empathize or take interest in others other than his original friend group.

>Does anything change when shit hits the fan
Kazu would be more likely to ignore Empiric's advice and become the dominant pilot rather than equals thinking that now is not the time to be so idealistic, and that he knows what he's doing when he doesn't. Empiric would probably understand why he's choosing to ignore him, but he's only going to pester more to make sure he doesn't do something he's going to regret which leads to Kazu ignoring him more and causing a rift between them afterwards. Basically the Idolon version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9-voINFkCg

>He also has a transformation sequence
Neat. With how many took incarnation, it could be said that JITE is actually a henshin MP. I imagine most have more monstrous transformations of flesh turning inside out and melding into clothes due to their Idolon faceclaim.

Cool intro. It's a good way to set up the death marked while also showing off Mei's character. I kind of wish Sayaka had more to do, but given the situation, she probably couldn't do much.
