Things might have been different if Zetta had known Punchy well at all, but he hadn't been a teammate or comrade of the kid's. They were just both on the same side in this stupid war. But even a demon knew there was a huge difference between detonating a town full of nameless innocents and losing a comrade. And even a demon could be upset over the latter.

"Yeah, this is a 'don't get sad, get even' kind of case, isn't it?" Not that their plans had anything to do with the people responsible for Punchy's death, but Zetta took the broader view of "us vs. them" where 'them' was 'everyone whose ass he wanted to kick'.
