Transcript

The tracksuit man leans over the counter with both hands planted flat, focused entirely on the promotion. He tells Kaito, “I only want the free one.” Kaito stares back, unimpressed. The page turns a normal convenience-store deal into a deadpan argument over whether a free item can exist without the purchase that earns it.

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.
