Story Overview
Haitora evidently hears the commotion and walks over to ask Uzoi what she is doing as she argues over the last scoop of ice cream with Somali.

At a table together in Winecup Village, he shares with Golem that they are searching for medicine since he is in rather poor health.

Agreeing with Uzoi's offer to have Somali and Golem travel with them across the desert, later he asks her whether there was more to the suggestion than kindness.

He is surprised when Uzoi says that Somali has a similar smell to him, and wonders what would a human be doing with a golem.

Listening to Uzoi's plan for them once in the desert, he is apprehensive but cannot comment further since his illness results in him coughing up blood.

As he steers the wagon through the desert, Haitora is handed a gun when a sand shark is spotted. Firing the weapon, it produces a flash which allows them to escape.

Reaching a cave, he informs Uzoi that he and Mr. Golem will pitch the tent.

With the issues raised, he asks why Golem is studying humans if it is anything to do with Somali. Haitora then states he is a human and that Uzoi's plan was to use Somali's blood to help cure his own.

For everything, he has done Haitora felt he had to die and to that end, he used himself as a decoy for a canterbird attacking Somali and Uzoi. From blood loss as a result of his illness and exhaustion, he trips and falls over in the sand.

Haitora is saved by Uzoi and told to stop thinking that he needs to die to make things right.
