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.

Half Information
After separating herself from Sakura, Kanae moved to the back. As a minor character of this party, her existence was quickly forgotten. The guests didn't know about her, and most of them ignored someone like her who didn't wear expensive clothes.
After moving behind the crowd, Kanae reached the back stairs. There were only several servants around her, but they too were busy delivering drinks to the party. She turned around and climbed the steps towards the second floor.
The second floor was supposedly off-limits for anyone other than the Aida and the Nali Families. Kanae saw the two guards guarding the entrance to the hallway and smiled slightly. It was easy if she wanted to just bypass them, but she had to avoid the camera too.
She moved towards the side and knocked on the door. The sound caused the guards to tense up.
"Who's there?"
No one answered.
The two of them looked towards each other. "Check who's there. I'll stay here to guard the entrance."
