Why would he not revert back and it's not his usual Monster self- he is cold, he spoke his hurt. He didn't do it like he did with Dhruv or Alya , he just walked away then. This time he broke it down word by word, to Nandini.
His coldness is his handling of pain, he cannot be sensible to deal his pain in the mature manner we want to because he is not in that state. it's like something has died inside him, their is grieve- in that state humans do retreat to the shell which gives them the most protection . He cannot seek his love because that is what is hurting him. So he takes to his familiar darkness to grieve.
I would have been very shocked if he handled it differently, honestly, that would have short-changed Manik. He had to hold on to his basic template and not be a version that just suits Nandini or us. His mourning is giving up on hope which is why his monster self now, in contrast to the earlier times when he took to monster self to hide the hope.
Imagine him being so happy with finally experiencing the feeling of love, thinking that finally this girl sees me with absolute trust and then bam it all falls down. The anger, the lashing is but obvious. It's not even been one day . We all sulk, hold to our anger for days, months and years. It's human.
