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.

Laura Nali
"What do you mean by living far away?" Alice tried her best to maintain her composure, yet it was incredibly clear that she was shaken.
Tommy scratched his head. "Well, her sister, Laura, received a half-tuition scholarship for a famous middle school in another country. For the past two years, she's been living overseas and only occasionally comes back."
"Yes, Laura is incredibly smart like her sister. However, the tuition for the school overseas is incredibly expensive, so Kanae has to work to support her sister," Misae continued.
As someone who has been by Kanae's side for quite some time, Misae knew much more than Alice. Misae met Laura a few times in the past when Laura returned to the city. She didn't know the full story about Laura, but she knew that Kanae has been working hard mainly for that girl.
