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.

Sisters
Nali Family's Mansion
"Sis, are you at home?" Laura walked into the house slowly. The light was off, but she knew that her sister rarely turned the light on. After all, their house was a bit big, which made it hard to maintain if she used too much of the electricity.
Kanae showed her head from the living room. "You're already back, Laura. Is there anything wrong?"
Laura shook her head. She stepped forward and hugged Kanae tightly. It was scary to think that she almost got hurt just now. Staying by her sister side always made her felt comfortable no matter where she was.
"Laura, are you alright?"
"Just let me stay like this for a bit, Sis."
"Okay."
