Eli

A young woman with an incurable disease.

She came to the lab that her brother worked at to retrieve his body as the brother died through an accident. Now left alone and without any income (since her illness makes it impossible for her to work) she was left devastated not only by the death of her only relative but also because she was going to be homeless.

The former superior of her brother took a liking to her though, offering her a place at the lab. Left with nowhere else to go she agreed, the terms being that the superior wanted to research about her incurable disease.
