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.

"You're doing great, Laura," Jason pulled the girl's head to his embrace. "I'm sure your sister understands this."
Laura nodded her head as she buried her head into Jason's embrace. Tears continued to pour out for a long time. Her heart was hurting, but she knew that she had to do this.
"You're amazing, Laura," Jason softly whispered to the girl's ear, consoling the young girl.
Laura didn't reply and just buried her head in Jason's embrace. Tears continued to fall out like a rainfall. Her hands gripped the man's clothes, causing it to crumple down.
Jason didn't mind and continued to caress the young girl's head tenderly. He waited until Laura fell asleep.
