Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

Forever Enemies?
When Kanae returned back to the hotel, she saw that Taro was already there. From the man's expression, it was clear that he felt rather indignant. His dark face caused others to wonder which blind person made this young lady angry.
"Taro, I'm back," Kanae greeted and laughed when she saw him.
Taro turned his head and glared. "You're late. It's almost time for lunch. Kevin will surely return back very soon."
"I know. That's why I returned back now."
"You have to accompany me now! You abandoned me for that annoying person!" Taro put his hands on Kanae's shoulders as he leaned in. This way, his face was right before Kanae's.
Kanae rolled her eyes when she saw his gesture. "Get off. Your hands are heavy."
"Fine, but you have to keep me company this afternoon."
"I'll only accompany you if President agrees," Kanae answered simply.
