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.

The Lawyer Clara
Misae's House
"Pardon my intrusion," Laura said as she walked into the house.
Misae giggled when she saw Laura acting polite. "Don't be so uptight. You're my friend and also Kanae's sister. Just treat this place as your home."
"Thank you, Sis Misae?"
Misae nearly choked. "Just call me Misae. You're not that polite at school."
"Well, that's because we're classmates at school," Laura scratched her head. It would feel rather awkward if she had to call every classmate using 'sister' or 'brother.' This was the reason she didn't use honorifics when addressing them.
It was indeed more polite to use them, and the cultures in several countries required them to do that.* However, there were also other places that didn't bother with them at all. All in all, it would depend on the place they lived in.
Misae shook her head. "Don't bother using an honorific. I'm not that strict and our ages don't differ by that much either."
