Eusine can't shake the feeling that he's being watched.
It starts nagging him somewhere between muggers #1 and #2 -both dispatched with classics such as "having the guy run face first into an invisible glass pane" and "smoke bombs 101" because the Mysticalman is in no way a goddamn cartoon character [citation needed]- and only goes downhill from there. By mugger #3, he's even managed to get a glimpse of a mysterious figure in a hat. He was already big on dramatic entrances before, but knowing he has an audience somehow amps that up to eleven: from then on, he makes sure to stay in sight of his secret admirer, as he's unaware of what kind of powers they may or may not have. He is an entertainer, after all, and what kind of entertainer leaves his audience in the dust?
Besides, you can't exactly keep an eye on a mysterious pursuer without being somewhat close to them. He's far from being paranoid but he's curious.
When mugger #4 has been neutralized (poor chap with a knife, will go on to forswear alcohol forever because he could swear he got arrested by a goddamn peacock that one time, for real), he lingers on the crime scene just a little longer than usual...
