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.

Testimonies
Time passed swiftly as the two of them stayed in the capital. They explored the stores and many other things around them, earning much more knowledge about this city. Before they knew it, two weeks had passed.
"Richard didn't come to bother us anymore," Kanae commented as she picked up the donut in front of her.
She was staying in a café with Kevin for their snacks. Even though Kevin barely ate anything, the man still accompanied her in every place that she visited.
"It's better that way," Kevin replied. "Have you thought about what you're going to say as the testimonies."
"I'll tell the truth," Kanae bit the chocolate donut in her hand. "There's nothing much that we have to hide too. The matter of Ferdinand eyeing the source power is nothing new. But the source power is limited and he already used them all."
"Will you tell them about your condition too?"
"No."
