Lore & Background
Mizuha is introduced as a teenager in the modern era, where Fushi awakens after a centuries-long slumber. The source states she is 'the eighteenth reincarnation of Hayase,' the warrior who tried to sacrifice young March and later killed her. Hayase's obsession with Fushi and his abilities persisted through her descendants and reincarnations, who formed a cult-like unit called the Guardians. Mizuha carries this legacy, becoming 'obsessed with him' when she crosses paths with Fushi. The Nokker that once possessed Kahaku—a distant male descendant of Hayase—now lurks within Mizuha, secretly rallying the remaining Nokkers for Fushi's eventual return. When Mizuha kills her mother, the woman inexplicably revives, leading Fushi to realize the Nokkers never vanished but have integrated into humanity. This revelation forces Fushi to confront the choice between eradicating the Nokkers or coexisting with them.
In Their Own Story
Mizuha's story begins when she crosses paths with Fushi in the modern era. As Hayase's latest incarnation, she becomes obsessed with him. The Nokker that once possessed Kahaku now lurks within her, secretly rallying the remaining Nokkers. When Mizuha kills her mother, only for the woman to inexplicably revive, Fushi realizes the Nokkers never vanished—they have integrated into humanity. Torn between eradication and coexistence, Fushi's hesitation allows Hayase's Nokker to retaliate, attacking Yuki's school. Though Fushi destroys Hayase's Nokker and dismantles its network, others remain hidden in society. Six decades later, with Nokkers widely known and Yuki gone, Fushi leaves with his resurrected friends, continuing his timeless watch.
