Suicidal Man

He reads as a worn-out, middle-aged salaryman in a shirt and tie, the standard uniform of ordinary office life. His eyes carry the hollow look of a person who has lost everything, and the stubble creeping across his jaw signals a man who has stopped taking care of himself.

At first he seems utterly without hope and set on dying. He waves off every offer of help, reserving special scorn for heroes, whom he assumes only want to soak up applause for a rescue. He takes pride in being a tireless provider, saying he bled himself dry laboring for his family and his employer, and he no longer believes freedom is possible for someone his age. Underneath it all, though, he does not truly wish to jump. What he really craves is for someone who cares to come and pull him back, and the terror that grips him when his foot slips finally jolts him into wanting to keep on living.

He climbs to the top of a building in Z-City, the very spot where Saitama happens to be eating lunch. Having been laid off, he was abandoned by his wife and children and left completely alone, which pushed him toward ending his life. As he steadies himself to jump, he notices Saitama, who had quietly been sitting beside him the whole time. When his footing gives way and he tumbles from the ledge, the bald hero catches him. He walks home afterward, telling anyone who will listen that it had never been a stunt, and quietly thanks Saitama, murmuring that the hero was far too good for the likes of him. Beyond ordinary human limits, he possesses no special powers of any kind.
