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.

Realizing One’s Feelings
"Boss, since this is the last day, can I relax on the beach?" Mike asked when he came out from the kitchen with Misae. He was helping her put the dishes on the table while the others were talking with Taro.
"You can."
"Thank you, Boss."
Misae looked around. "Where's Tara? Doesn't she want to eat?"
"There's some business he has to take care of back home, so he went home earlier," Neo answered.
Misae nodded her head. She felt that there was something off from the way Neo called Tara, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. In the end, the matter was thrown to the back of her mind.
Kanae also recalled that she forgot to tell Misae that Taro was, in fact, a guy. In her heart, she silently prayed that the girl wouldn't blame her as she couldn't find the perfect opportunity to bring it up.
"There is too much food for all of us, right?"
"Don't worry. We can finish it one way or another."
