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.

Returning Back
Kanae returned to her room and noticed that Misae had a beet red face. What happened during the time she was away?
Alice rolled on her bed and yawned before lazily telling Kanae what had happened. "She hugged Mike when the lightning appeared, so she's feeling extremely embarrassed right now."
Because the light had turned on at that point, Alice could see their expressions. The two of them were embarrassed and didn't dare look at each other after that. Mike had already returned to his room, but there was no doubt that he was also startled to have Misae hug his arm so suddenly.
Kanae laughed dryly. Neo had just teased her because she barely had any reaction to the thunder and here her best friend reacted the opposite from her. When Neo hears about it, he would surely laugh out loud.
"Let's rest. We're going to hike down tomorrow. This time, you have to hike the full way without any help from the car."
