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.

Comfort
By the time it was time to go home, Misae already calmed down a lot. Laura's presence and the fact that the girl was not part of the clan caused her to feel much calmer.
"Misae, can I ask for help in taking my sister home?" Kanae asked as she glanced at the clock. It would be time for the meeting soon. She would be late if she didn't go to the mall soon. Her mission today was very important, and she couldn't afford to be late as it would affect her own safety.
Misae nodded her head. "I can do that."
"Have you calmed down? Do you need more help?" Laura asked in concern. There was no need for her to go home so quickly because there was no one at home. She could just spend her time in the infirmary for a longer period of time.
"I'm already good," Misae smiled.
Alice sat down on the chair near the bed. A gentle smile was plastered on her face. "I'll stay here to accompany you, so just rest if you need it."
