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.

Conflicted Feelings
Hospital
Looking at the expression of the girl before him, Kevin felt rather complicated. The girl whom he met before was completely different. She didn't wear glasses, and her hair was tied loosely. Her clothes were completely new and came from a well-known brand, showing the fact that she came from a wealthy family.
Even though she was soiled with blood and dirt, his eyes still recognized her clearly.
The current Kanae changed so much from that time. She no longer wore expensive items. Even after reacquiring the mansion, she still used moderately-priced items, not too expensive but not too poor either.
"I see, we've already met before," Kanae murmured. She had never recalled that short meeting because her life turned very turbulent right after that incident. She had completely forgotten about it as she simply didn't have the time to think about it.
