The Man on the Beach

"Are your wounds feeling better? Have some of this if you like." - To Hayase some time after rescuing her and offering her fish

The Man on the Beach was the rescuer of the injured Hayase, whom he had taken to his home hut to nurse back to full strength and heath. He returns from acquiring more sustenance and asks how her injuries are healing. Unfortunately for him, he is suddenly attacked by the very person he himself had saved and presumably murdered by her, as she had merged with the greater power of the Nokker she had let escape her earlier.

Trivia

 * In the manga, he was attacked by Hayase's Nokker-enhanced strength right after he had entered his home hut and never seen or heard from again, as is Hayase herself. Whereas, in the anime, he was dragged in his hut by her.
