Panel 1: Kaito behind the register raises both fists slightly, tired eyes shining with absurd triumph, the faintest deadpan smile and a single victorious tear, the card reader in his hand showing a round thousand. KAITO: One thousand. Panel 2: Rin, deadpan over her filming phone, flatly announces the milestone with a tiny smirk while the tired nurse perks up hopefully beside her. RIN: Free coffee unlocked.

Two panels: Kaito raises his fists in triumph with a single tear as the reader hits 1000, and Rin announces the free coffee while the nurse perks up hopefully.
About this chapter
A night-shift nurse just wants a coffee, but her loyalty card is one point short of a free one. Kaito — physically unable to let a near-miss stand — spirals into engineering absurd micro-purchases to farm that single missing point, each one costing more than the coffee itself, while Rin films the math getting worse. He finally hits 1,000 points in triumph... and the coffee machine is empty. He hand-brews a fresh pot; the nurse's shift alarm goes off and she bolts, leaving the hard-won coffee untouched on the counter. Rin's stream wins. Kaito gets nothing.
