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.

You’ll Surely Achieve Your Dream
In the end, they ordered some foods to eat for dinner. As it is Laura's birthday, the two of them spent their time in each other company for a long time. Laura finally fell asleep in the living room.
"If you're tired, you shouldn't force yourself too much, you brat," Kanae laughed when she saw Laura already slept peacefully. Seeing the peaceful expression on her little sister's face, she didn't have the heart to wake the girl up.
Carefully, she circled her arm below Laura and picked the girl up gently. Her movement was extremely slow and tender as if she was afraid to hurt the sleeping girl. After she had ensured the position, Kanae made her way to Laura's bedroom.
