Transcript
Inside the store, Kaito Mori slumps behind the register with a dead-eyed expression while one lone hot dog turns on the grill roller. His thought is simple and bleak: nobody has bought a hot dog in six hours. The page establishes Kaito’s exhaustion and the tiny object that will become the chapter’s battlefield.

About this chapter
3:02 AM. A man rushes in demanding only the free hot dog from a buy-2-get-1-free promo, refusing to buy the two. The register can't process it, so he decides to wait out the clock until the promo resets at 4 AM. Rin films the whole thing. The promo simply ends, devastating him — and Kaito hands him one anyway. A tight, dumb, warm one-shot.
