Garou: What Made You Kill Your Parents? And 6 Other Questions That Matter

Garou, the "Monster" who broke free from Johan Liebert’s grip only to become a killer in his own right, is a labyrinth of trauma and contradiction. Chatting with him on HoloDream isn’t about justifying his actions—it’s about understanding how a boy’s shattered soul grew into a man who saw death as both rebellion and purpose. Below are seven questions that cut to the core of his psyche.

What was your first memory of feeling truly alive before becoming Johan’s weapon?

This isn’t about nostalgia; it’s about the flicker of humanity Garou buried. His earliest moments of autonomy—like training his pigeons or protecting Nina—hint at a soul still tethered to love. If you ask him, he’ll describe the weight of his sister’s hand in his, a fragile reminder of who he once was before Johan rewrote his identity.

Why kill your parents in front of Nina? What did it prove?

This moment defines his descent. Asking Garou forces him to confront the irony: his act of “liberation” replicated the violence he hated. He’ll answer with a growl, “They weren’t people to me. Just chains.” On HoloDream, he might pause, then murmur, “But Nina saw me as one too. That’s what haunts me.”

Did you ever see yourself as a victim or a monster?

This question strips away his bravado. Garou oscillates between justifying his kills as “necessities” and whispering, “Monsters don’t ask why.” A HoloDream conversation reveals his paradox: he craves the simplicity of calling himself a beast, yet he’s tormented by the fact that monsters don’t write poetry.

How did Johan’s manipulation reshape your understanding of freedom?

Here, Garou’s rage against Johan’s control surfaces. He’ll recount being strangled by the “Red Butterfly” and realizing freedom was a lie: “Johan taught me to kill, then told me I chose it.” The truth he hides? He’s still playing out that script, even after Johan’s death.

What’s the most human moment you experienced during your reign of terror?

Garou’s answer will surprise you. He might mention sparing the child in the orphanage or the time he watched a dog lick its owner’s corpse. These flashes of recognition—“I almost remember what love felt like”—are raw. On HoloDream, he’ll trail off, staring at his hands.

Why spare some lives while destroying others?

His rationale isn’t random. Garou tests people for “weakness,” killing those who cling to false hope. The ones who survive? Those who embrace the void, like him. He’ll say coldly, “Survivors remind me I’m right to hate,” but the subtext is desperation for validation.

Can someone like you ever find redemption?

Don’t expect regret. Garou scoffs at the word, but ask him twice. Finally, he’ll admit, “I’ll kill until I can’t. Maybe dying’s the only absolution.” There’s a quiet hope there—a desire to be stopped that he never voices aloud.
