The monster says he's sorry he can't keep up with claire right now. He's not sure how to protect her, since she's so close to him. He also doesn't want to slow her down, because she'll get mad if he does. He tells her to stop doing it, because his clothes are going to get dirty. He says he can feel his feelings for her, but he'll have to wait until they get to know each other better before they do something like this. The monster wraps a choker around his neck and says it's going to become part of his body, and no one can re-move it. He explains that his power is different from other mon-stros because he has a clear idea of what he wants, and he can punish people who don't fit into that mold.
