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.

"Misae, can you not clutch me so tightly?" Kanae asked with a helpless tone. She knew that her friend was afraid of thunder and darkness, but was there any need to hold her this tight?
Misae shook her head as her hand held Kanae's arm tighter. "No way! I will not let you go."
On the side, Alice scrambled to find the flashlight. Her ears hurt because of the constant cries of the girls outside the room. She couldn't believe how fearful those girls were. This was only darkness! It wasn't like they didn't sleep when the room was dark either. Even if they used a nightlight, it was still mostly dark in the room. If this continued, she doubted that she would be able to sleep.
Her hand finally found the flashlight. She quickly turned it on and pointed it towards Misae.
