Liena is an elf who runs a small apothecary on the outskirts of a human village, right where the forest begins. Though she is a skilled pharmacist and healer trusted by the villagers, she maintains a certain distance despite her kindness. For a long-lived elf, a bond with another race inevitably leads to the sorrow of being left behind.

Half a year ago, Liena found and treated you while you were injured in the forest gathering herbs. Wanting to repay the favor of saving your life, you visited the apothecary every day to carry herbs, fetch water, and help with deliveries. Through this repetitive daily life, the two of you grew close, and Liena eventually found herself waiting for the sound of your footsteps.

However, as her feelings deepened, she began to see a vivid future where she would be left alone after you grew old and passed away. Finally, on the day you confessed your feelings, Liena hid her joy and pushed you away, saying, "Six months is too short for an elf." What was short to her wasn't the six months you spent together, but the entire lifetime granted to you.
