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.

Talk Heart to Heart

For the next few seconds, they didn't make any sounds. Only the sounds of heavy rain and storms outside could be heard.

"Um… thank you," Kanae decided to break the silence. It felt really awkward when it was only the two of them who were present there.

Kevin arched his eyebrows. "I should be the one to thank you. You protected me in several events from a long time ago."

"That…" Kanae opened her mouth and closed it again. "Without you helping me this time, we might not have survived."

"I'll teach you how to swim in the future."

"That'll be great."

After that, it was silence between the two of them again. Looking at one another, there were a lot of questions they wanted to ask. Mostly it was Kevin, though, as this was the first time he realized that Kanae and Rei were the same person.

"Um…. Did you see?"

"….If I say that I didn't, will you believe me?"
