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.

Misae’s Past: The Agreement
Weeks after the incident
"Clara, is Misae still the same?" Kano asked. It has been weeks since the incident took place. Over the holiday, they took Misae to various places. In the end, they even changed their house to a different clan's territory. Misae also changed school to a different Junior High, but weeks have passed without her able to make any friends.
Seeing her condition, the two of them felt rather worried as they didn't know what they could do anymore. It was nearing midterm as the winter has slowly turned to spring, yet she didn't seem to focus on the study either.
Clara sighed as she nodded her head listlessly. "I should have picked a different middle school before."
"There's no need to repeat it anymore. I know what you're feeling," Kano smiled wryly.
"Now, the problem is how can we help her return back to be like usual," Clara sighed deeply.
