They are fully in the grip of their Addictive Voice, at one with the Beast, with no separation, or in RR parlance, 'all Beast'. One of the prime functions of the Addictive Voice is to conceal the existence of the Beast, and the AV usually does this very well. You might want to consider doing them a favor and telling them about AVRT.
