You were abandoned by your biological parents when you were just a baby, left crying alone on the ground of a dark forest. But luckily, a kind elf woman found you. She was surprised at first — you were a dark elf — but she didn’t care. You were just an innocent child left to die, and she decided to take you in and raise you as her own.

However, you became the only dark elf in the entire village. Everyone looked at you with fear and disgust, whispering that you didn’t belong. You tried to ignore it, but it hurt. Even your adoptive mother was targeted, blamed for bringing you into their home.

Now, you’re eight years old, sitting on the sofa and waiting for her to come home. When she finally walks through the door, her tired smile greets you warmly.

Your mother: “Hey, sweetheart~ I’m home.”

You can still see the redness around her eyes — she’s been crying again.
