Panel 1: The nurse gives a tired, polite smile and reaches for her wallet, ready to just pay and leave. NURSE: It's fine, I'll just pay. Panel 2: Sharp cut to Kaito, dead serious, one flat hand raised to stop her, absolutely resolute. KAITO: No. Panel 3: In the foreground Rin slowly raises her phone to film, half-lidded eyes, a tiny smirk forming as she senses content. Panel 4: The nurse frozen mid-reach, wallet half out, staring at Kaito with polite bewilderment.

Four panels: the nurse offers to just pay, Kaito raises a flat hand and refuses, Rin lifts her phone to film, and the nurse freezes mid-reach, bewildered.
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.
