Yuta and Mana fall from a cliff while chasing a butterfly and both die. A heavily bandaged man, known as Big Eyes, carries Mana to his cave. An old hunter finds Yuta, who revives during burial rites. Big Eyes reveals that forty years ago, he ate mermaid flesh in a fishing village, blacked out, and woke to find everyone dead. He has lived alone in the mountains since. Yuta and the hunter locate Big Eyes, who flees with Mana into the cave. There, Mana discovers skeletons of villagers Big Eyes consumed. Big Eyes admits he still blacks out. The hunter shoots him, causing Big Eyes to go berserk and flee. Yuta catches and kills Big Eyes. Later, Mana reflects on the variety of Deformed Ones, mermaids, and Yutas.
