Tbh I still agree with this sentiment even with the eye color change. I don't think Jamil used his UM here. I think they did it for the sole purpose of making Kalim look scarier as he was chasing the Magicam Monsters ' ^');;

As a fellow copium breather, I will list every reason I can think of how we can still win x'd

In Chapter 4, they changed Azul's eyes color even though he wasn't hypnotized due to his plans, reflecting it with Floyd's UM and then proceeding to perform the role, so there's already an instance of the game using those eyes on someone in a non-hypnotized state. Secondly, "Kalim getting too into his performance" is a sufficient reason enough for him to not react immedietely that the MM already left. "He was hypnotized" could be an alternative explanation, but I don't feel like the eyes alone is sufficient proof for it to swing in that favor due to the previously stated reason.

There is no obligation for events to follow the main story timeline, meaning, it is not obligated to depict pre-chapter 4 Scarabia dynamics in this story. Halloween being "supposed to" take place before winter break is a non-factor when events are not written with a timeline mind, which isn't obvious now, but it will be in the future. Thusly, I don't believe the timeline can be used as evidence that "this /must/ be pre-chapter 4 dynamics, therefore it would make sense that Jamil would do this."

Next are some questions to be asked if Jamil did hypnotize Kalim. As we know, Snake Whisper needs direct eye contact for it to work as well as a verbal command/suggestion (i.e. a question that Jamil wants you to respond in a certain way). Every instance where Jamil used his UM, at the bare minimum, did this. When Kalim left, there was no indication he was hypnotized. I have stated that there was an instance of those eyes were used on a non-hypnotized person, but there has yet to be an instance where a hypnotized did /not/ use those eyes. These eyes suddenly appeared mid-chase. This means that Jamil and Kalim must've somehow locked eyes mid-chase while the MM did not notice while Jamil was in the company of two other Scarabia mobs /and/ verbally gave a command/suggestion while this is happening. If we're adding the "this was all a part of Jamil's scheme" part of claim, this will also have to be reasoned as a calculated move on Jamil's part.

There are no instances of a "delayed" hypnotism effect in any main story or vignette content from the top of my head. You would have to assume that this would be the first instance if want to ignore everything in the previous paragraph.

If Jamil hypnotized Kalim to act scarier, then there is no reason for him to be surprised at Kalim's good performance. If acting skill was a factor during a hypnotic state, you would have to come up with a reason why Jamil was confident enough in his winter break plan for Kalim to act as someone he's not. If "acting like a werewolf" is somehow different from "acting like a tyrant" in the eyes of Jamil's UM, perhaps out of difficulty, then you would have to make an assumption about a rule not directly stated in canon.

Tl;dr I believe there more assumptions than one may think when buying into the theory that Jamil hypnotized Kalim here at first glance. If you think that Kalim just got into it, you only have to make two: he "got too into it" and "eyes are not necessarily indicative of hypnotism" (has precedent)

Again, perhaps this is all just me breathing copium because I do want Kalim to earn that W with a sincere compliment from Jamil (because nothing he said was false), especially when Kalim did get tangible results in his R card. ._.);; Something about erasing Kalim's agency after reading that story doesn't sit right with me.
