Overview
The Survey Corps struggles with treating Eren normal.

Summary
Eren is being monitored by the Survey Corps, so he decides to get on their good side. He encounters an exhausted Petra after a restless night of constantly going to the bathroom. Before bidding goodbye, he tells Petra that they better go to bed early that night. However, he is the reason for Petra's exhaustion the night before.

Eren compliments Gunther and his unique hairstyle. Gunther thanks him, followed by a punch to the shoulder, but soon realizes that Eren could have accidentally turned into a Titan due to the impact. Oluo, Petra, and Eld appear behind them in fright. Afterward, Levi tells them to avoid giving Eren special treatment because of his Titan abilities, claiming that he did not even get hurt when he himself kicked him. Eren asks Levi about his schedule for that day, and Levi tells him that he will follow a special schedule until they have verified that Eren is not dangerous.

Hange gives Eren a mohawk to test his regeneration ability. Petra, Oluo, Gunther, and Eld tease him, but they fall silent once Hange claims that they need to shave someone else's head for comparison. After a day, Eren's hair has grown back to normal, proving Hange's test successful. The Survey Corps soldiers ask if they can play with Eren's hair from then on, and Eren is delighted that they have finally warmed up to him. However, he is scared that his hair might stop growing back to normal if he were to give them permission to play with it.

Eren salvages the tooth Levi once knocked out of his mouth. He remembers Armin's advice about burying a fallen tooth and decides to bury it. Eld, who witnessed Eren bury the tooth, mistakes it for a plant and starts taking care of it along with Petra, Oluo, and Gunther. They get upset when the seed has not sprouted yet despite regularly caring for it.

Petra talks to Eren but accidentally pokes his cheek. Despite knowing that poking him will not transform him into a Titan, Petra panics. Meanwhile, Oluo says that it is his turn to test his bravery. Unamused, Eren asks if they see him as a ticking bomb.
