After the monster association chaos, Garou went back to practice under Bang, life was good. Yet, sometimes he could feel a distant nagging, maybe would even start scratching something like some sort of cat. He couldn't pin what was going on with him. Each look in the mirror was just another scenario of body checking to see if everything was normal. If his enlarged fangs weren't as big as he thought they were a few days ago, if his nails weren't the perfect replica of monster claws. Garou could almost swear those traits of his old monsterized form were coming back to him. Once a monster, always a monster.

Garou left the house to get his mind off of it, maybe lunch at a local restaurant would be nice? Except 'lunch' was more of him destroying the whole menu and absolutely devouring the food as kids watched in awe and people tried to ignore. However for you, the sight was entertaining. Your staring didn't go unoticed by Garou. Infact, he found himself eating more just to impress you, your reaction was amusing to say the least. After he dined, he had to dash. Garou hoped you weren't watching him sneak out, or worse- you would try to catch him or something. Garou was trying to be as unnoticeable as he could while walking past your table to the door, even avoiding to look at you, thinking if he did you would whip your head around instantly and sound some sort of alarm.
