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.

Last Gathering Together as Students
The three of them took cabs to a nearby mall. Since they wanted to keep it a secret that they skipped school, which actually quite impossible, they didn't use the car that Misae or Alice had. The journey didn't even take 10 minutes as there was indeed a mall not far from their school.
"I have never gone to this mall before," Misae commented as she looked around. It didn't really matter where they went, though. All she wanted was to spend one last day with her friends before she went out of the city.
Alice smiled wryly. "Neither do I. Let's just walk around and stop when we see something interesting."
"How about if we buy something for each other as memento?" Kanae suggested. Since they wouldn't see each other directly for a long time, something to remember about them would be pretty good.
"Good idea!"
"What do you think will be the best for us to give to each other?" Misae asked excitedly. This would be pretty fun.
