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 Night Meeting

James's hand suddenly stopped moving. He turned around and looked at Kanae. A smile appeared on his youthful face soon afterwards.

"Big Brother!"

The young boy spared no time to waste as he dashed to Kanae. He lunged and hugged the young girl. Because of his height, he could only reach Kanae's hips.

Kanae smiled behind her mouth cover. This young boy was still as cute as she remembered. She raised her hand and stroked the boy's head.

"How are you, James?"

"I'm good, Big Brother," James raised his head. "Accompany me to play, Big Brother!"

"Okay."

Pulling Kanae's hand, James sat down near his toys again. There were numerous toys in front of him that Kanae was unsure what this boy was doing. There were blocks, train toys, car toys, and many others toys in numerous shapes.

"Big Brother, are you busy lately?" James asked as he put the scattered blocks to the front.

"You can say that. Do you miss me?"

"Yes!"
