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.

Tending Their Wounds
The rain hadn't stopped by the time Kevin arrived at the north beach. He continued to carry Kanae into the forest before stopping in front of a rather rocky area. Beneath the rock and hidden from all direction was a small hut.
Kevin slowly took Kanae inside the hut. After laying the girl on the mat, he took off his wet clothes and turned on the heater. Thankfully, there was a generator in this place that his grandfather built. The generator provided electricity using the power of waves, so there were plenty of them.
As the room turned warm, he scrambled to find the first aid kit. His own wounds were mostly negligible because they were barely scratching his skin, so he turned his head at Kanae.
'Should I change her clothes?'
Even though he knew that it was inappropriate, he wanted to change the girl into dry clothes. There were several of them here although they were all his clothes, so it should be too big for her.
