#in short vox reconstructed his entire body and chopped off his tail.

"the implication should be that vox felt so fucked up about alastor that he destroyed everything that he was and recreated himself in alastor's image to seemingly rewrite his own fate "alastor doesn't want to join him — fine, that fine (it's not fine) — he'll just take him with him"

and so, vox makes a monumental effort every day of his functioning to further spread, engage with and profit from alastor's stylings of a viciously witty charismatic broadcaster. in a way, alastor really did join his team. vox is terribly, terribly aware of just how much he owes alastor, and continues to owe him. it makes him furious with grief.
