HOLY SHIT IT’S SO PEAK!

The method used to calm down Mugman followed by his confusion but he’s also got a sense of clarity because he’s no longer spiraling?!

Guh!!!!

And he’s looking around, taking note of his surroundings to better make sense of what happened- of what he was doing?!

Followed by the sinking realization of what he had nearly done to Boris?!

It’s so peak

GAHHHH IT’S SO PREAK!!!!

I'm going to be so bold as to say that Cuphead lives in a cycle. Hear me out. Cuphead and Mugman are the collectors. Of the two brothers, Cuphead had been collecting the longest as seen in Mugman's flashback. As for how the devil may feel about it, it doesn't matter if the cupbrothers die again and again. It doesn't matter what pain they suffer. What phsychological damage they sustain so long as they finish the mission. In theory, Cuphead may have partially adopted this mindset. He had been sent to [the sink] so many times that he knows it like the back of his head. Plus, if he dies, who cares? Cuphead can get revived again and again and again. Once he's done getting another soul contract or collecting another item of importance, he may be able to rest for a bit with his brother. However, eventually, he'll be sent out on another mission. Again and again he could die. But, he's not too worried about it. Not in the slightest. To him that's just the rules. That's how things work. Living in the cycle could be reason as to why Cuphead is passively sucicidal. Because, again, he could die and nothing would change. (except for when it does in the comic because his soul isn't there when it should be).

As further evidence for this theory, I distinctly recall one of the creators saying that the reason why Cuphead reached out to the gates of heaven was because he yearned for freedom. Even if he knew that he may never get into heaven due to his ties with the devil.
