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.

This is My Decision
"Then let me rephrase it. I want you to get out of my sight and never appear in front of me ever again."
Kanae looked at the sharp glare that Laura gave to her. It was the gaze full of determination and conviction. She was extremely familiar with that gaze as she had seen it in herself for a long time. Once she made a decision and unwilling to change it again, it was the same gaze that she would show.
However, when she made that kind of gaze, it was only because she didn't have any other choice. The path she had chosen was not easy, but she still chose to follow it.
She gazed back at her sister.
"Your wish is my command. I'll do as you wish, Laura."
The moment Kanae answered, Laura nodded her head calmly. Although her expression looked unperturbed, her gaze was unfocused with slight pain inside her eyes. It was clear that she was doing all she could to look back at her sister.
