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.

Their Real First Meeting
"You say Kirei?"
"Yes," Kanae noticed that Kevin seemed to be distracted by her other name. She glanced up to see his finely handsome face. "What is it?"
Kevin was staring back at Kanae deeply. He seemed to recall something as he untied her hair, letting the long hair drop freely to her shoulder. Ignoring her confused face, he touched her cheek as if trying to reminisce about the past.
Her face overlapped with the face of a nine year old girl that he met in the past. That girl was the one who accompanied him when he was kidnapped by the government to their research base. As he placed a cold and platonic face wherever he was, no one dared to get closer to him. Only one person walked over curiously to where he was, a cute nine year old girl.
