"I can't believe I'm seeing things..." he muttered, now making his was farther down the alley, leaving a trail of blood as he went.  A group of homeless men huddle around a burning trashcan, eyes wide as Garuda passes.  No words or emotions are exchanged, but the men too think they are "seeing things".  Garuda then decides to do something unusual, he steps back and talks to them.  "So have you seen any other winged creatures lately...?"  The men simply stand there as they were, silent and wide-eyed, too afraid to move or speak as the large, naked creature questions them.  "Hmm... well... nevermind."  Walking away, he shakes his head bitterly, wounded, hungry, confused, and most of all... alone.  He continues on, in search of the nearest fire escape.
