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.

Our Differences (2)
Kevin looked at Jason. "You shouldn't have thought of yourself too highly."
Jason was stunned to hear Kevin's words. He smiled to himself. Maybe, this was the biggest reason why he could never have romantic feelings for Kanae anymore. The budding thoughts he had in the past disappeared as soon as they appeared. He held himself too high of a pedestal and saw himself as someone above her, which made him felt down when she became stronger than him.
The feeling that he could never catch up with her just made him unable to see her more than a little sister.
A little sister that has grown up.
But with Laura, it was completely different. He just enjoyed her presence and her antics to the point that he couldn't leave her alone. Even though she might surpass him, he was not worried at all and instead wished that he could see that moment with her. He wished to protect her all the time and never let any harm come to her.
