Panel 1: Kaito stands at the coffee machine holding an empty mug under it. The pot is completely empty and bone dry, a faint wisp of steam rising, as his tired face collapses into deadpan despair. KAITO: ...It's empty. Panel 2: The nurse's face goes completely flat and dead-eyed, her patience finally gone, staring into the middle distance.

Two panels: Kaito holds an empty mug under the coffee machine, the pot bone dry, his face collapsing in despair, while the nurse goes flat and dead-eyed.
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.
