Health Gauge

When you encounter enemies that can damage you, a health gauge for Aya appears in the top-right.
An attack from an enemy reduces the health gauge.
If the gauge hits zero, you will get a game over, so be careful.

Disappearing Items

Some items (Mom's Perfume) will automatically disappear as part of the plot.
It's not a bug, so just continue playing.
