[ By and large this experience is going to leave Atsumu with a distaste for bugs that didn't exist before. While there might be one (and only one) ant that he ends up with some fondness for, he's largely spent his time running from insects, screaming at spiders he's been caught in the webs of, and now kidnapped by ants that he doesn't assume mean to do the whole "raise him as one of their own" number.
The irony is that the earlier debuff that led to a series of fox-like features is a boon at the moment, given a whole slew of features associated with the nocturnal animal. The light is still nearly non-existent down here though, so even with better night vision he's still relying largely on those large ears on top of his head to figure out what's going on right now. He's using them to lie low and stay still when the ants come back, but also to hear that interesting sound of shifting soil that happened shortly before his captors came for a little check-in.
He's also using them to listen for the sound of the ants getting far enough away for him to risk scooting across the soil as he squints in what little light exists at a vague figure in the dirt. The whisper he shoots Liem's way is more of a stage whisper than a proper one, but fortunately for them both, ants don't actually have ears. ]

Hey! You still alive over there?
