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.

Bzzt.
When the other three noticed that their communication devices turned on, they poured their attention into it. It had been so peaceful lately that they had completely forgotten about it. Was there a problem now?
As Shiro's and another man's voice came out of the device, they were stunned.
"Tom, are you there?"
"Tom?"
Both Kanae and Jason asked nearly at the same time. They could guess that somehow Tommy's father had made his way to Shiro's clinic, trying to ask about his son.
"Yeah, I'm here," Tommy's voice was indifferent. If anything it was slightly cold. For someone who played and joked around all the time, the serious and cold tone didn't suit him. It was as if he had transformed into a completely different person.
"Do you want to listen?"
"Fine."
