Shadowchild is a demon, which means ze has the power to sense and eat shadows. Shadows are canonically really vague - they're basically generic "not-good-things", from nausea to guilt to weird god-possession to being really old and stinky. But because they're so vague, I can have Shadowchild basically be able to sense whatever you want them to -- or don't want them to.
So! If Shadowchild looks at the shadows on your heart (or stomach, or liver), what will ze see, if anything?

Probably Shadowchild would respond to Kyubey the same way ze responds to gods in canon - which is to say, overwhelmed by the intensity of the light/shadow. What was the quote? Uh...
"The god there throws too much light. It makes the shadows sharp and dark, like holes in the air. I can't eat them all. If I went in there, it would be like trying to drink the ocean -- you drink and drink and you drown anyway, and the ocean isn't smaller afterwards."
I get the sense that Kyubey, as a being essentially on a whole other scale above humanity, would fit into a similar category.
Or maybe Kyubey's just the equivalent of a demon? They do seem to have similar disregard for the value of human life...
