Transcript
Panel 1: Kaito grimly and ceremonially brews a fresh pot of coffee by hand, sleeves pushed up, deadpan intensity, like a sacred ritual. Panel 2: Rin films, deadpan delight and a tiny smirk, thoroughly enjoying the escalation. RIN: He's brewing it himself. Panel 3: The nurse waits, holding out the empty travel mug, swaying slightly with exhaustion, eyes half closed. Panel 4: Close on the coffee dripping into the pot, agonizingly slow, one drop at a time.

Four panels: Kaito ceremonially hand-brews a fresh pot of coffee, Rin films with delight, the nurse waits swaying with exhaustion, and coffee drips agonizingly slowly.
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.
