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.

Talking
Neo wiped his mouth and looked towards Kanae. "What are you talking about? She's a woman, so she dressed up as one."
"Tara is a guy, right?"
Neo paused for a moment. He looked towards Kevin, but the latter didn't seem to be surprised at Kanae's question. It seemed as if he already guessed that Kanae would be able to guess Tara's real gender very quickly.
"How do you know about that?" Neo asked Kanae.
Kanae touched her neck. "Girls don't have this thing on our neck, so it's pretty obvious."
Oh right. He had forgotten about the basic differences between boys and girls. If it was kids, they wouldn't have their puberty yet, so the differences were not clear. On the other hand, adult men and women were different, and their differences were quite apparent for those with sharp eyes.
"He has a background that doesn't allow him to walk around freely, so he spends his time dressing up as a girl when he doesn't want them to find out," Neo answered vaguely.
