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.

They Found Out
Lima School
Time passed swiftly. Kanae didn't stay in her house forever and decided to come back to school again.
"Good morning, Alan," Kanae waved her hand when she saw Alan walk inside.
Alan nodded his head. He fixed his sweater and sat down beside Kanae. "It's really cold right now."
"It's only the beginning of November. It'll get much colder in the future," Kanae chuckled.
Alan didn't reply. He bundled the sweater closer to his neck to avoid the cold. Even though he liked snow, he couldn't stand the cold. This caused him to wear thick clothes even though the temperature has only recently gone down.
"You rarely come to school, Kanae. Is your grade alright?" Alan asked.
Kanae nodded her head. She might not pay the highest attention at school, but she didn't let her grade suffer. Even though they were only around 70-80 something, they were still pretty good to place her in the middle of the class.
