This arc is notable for being one of the few that has a significant change in Crange's character.

Plot
Crange stumbles upon a sleeping homeless man and (being Crange) steals a $5 bill from the man's donation can. He hang glides on the dollar into the door of a human bar, where he orders a drink to the annoyance of the bartender.

Crange receives a beer keg and continues to harass the bartender, referencing the events of Crange and the Werewolf. As he continues getting sloshed, he looks over to find the lumberjack that killed his tree, snapping him out of his alcohol-induced euphoria.

Crange confronts the lumberjack over his actions, who responds that he doesn't remember which tree Crange is talking about, being a lumberjack by trade. Crange goes on a tirade about how his tree was his home, a fortress, and his parent. The lumberjack questions why he mentioned the protection part before the parent, and Crange doesn't respond. The lumberjack tells Crange not to take it personally, causing the latter to literally flip his lid, claiming the lumberjack couldn't possibly know what it felt like, finally causing an angered reaction.

The lumberjack reveals his mother was killed by a tree, him being responsible for the stray cut that did it. He asks a shaken Crange if he loved his mother too. After sitting in silence, the lumberjack buys Crange another shot of whiskey, to which Crange tearfully replies that he'll need another straw.
