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.

Her eyes were solemn as she thought about what had happened to Frank before. Thanks to Tommy's experience with his mother, she could guess that Frank was also using the same drug. From what she knew, they wouldn't be able to live long after using them, so all she did was stalling time.
Forcefully awakening one's talent would bring them pain when they failed. Rather than killing him swiftly, she wished to see him in pain and died like that. It was her revenge because he had taken everything from her.
'It's over.'
