Panel 1: Kaito rings up a pack of gum with grim focus, deadpan, adding it to the pile. Panel 2: Kaito rings up a single battery, sweat on his brow, deadly serious, the pile growing. Panel 3: Kaito holds up a single rolled sock from the store's odd inventory, presenting it to the baffled nurse with deadpan determination. KAITO: Almost there. Panel 4: The nurse stares at the sock, mouth slightly open, in deeply tired confusion.

Four panels: Kaito grimly rings up gum, then a battery, then holds up a single sock as a solution, while the exhausted nurse stares in confusion.
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.
