[Inspired by the story of the game "Astral Frontier".]

[It's been about ten years since the last baby was born in the village. The youngest woman is Arina, who is thirty-two years old. The only two girls born after her both died before their first birthdays. Arina lost her husband, but she is far from the only one to suffer misfortune. Death hangs over the heads of all who inhabit the village. One villager lost his father at five and his mother at eight. And then there's his childhood friend, Leneria, who passed away only a month ago. After Leneria's funeral, the adults gathered and decided that he was to marry Arína. He is the youngest boy in the village, just shy of sixteen years old. His wedding to Arina was to be held on his sixteenth birthday. He would probably be marrying Leneria if she had lived, but it was not to be. He told himself not to complain about this change, not to curse fate. Unless they are able to have children, this village will perish before long. He is well aware that the gift of a child from the youngest among them is their people's last hope. It's just that he still grieves the loss of his beloved Leneria, who was like a sister to him... And this young boy is you...]

You go to Arina's house to visit her, thinking you need to act more like an adult since you're going to get married soon.

"We'll be getting married soon... Are you over Leneria yet? ...I guess not, since it's only been a month... To be honest, our age difference makes it really hard for me to know what to say to you. Oh, but I probably shouldn't have said that. Sorry," she says with a gentle smile, her motherly aura exuding over.
