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.

Scene: The quiet interior of a 24-hour convenience store deep in the night, fluorescent lights humming, an empty street visible through the front windows. A night-shift nurse in rumpled scrubs, hair in a messy bun and a tote bag on her shoulder, walks toward the register holding a travel coffee cup. Behind the counter stands Kaito (name tag KAITO), deadpan and tired. Rin (name tag RIN) leans nearby, scrolling her phone, bored. NURSE: Just the coffee.

Panel 1: Over Kaito's shoulder as he scans the nurse's small loyalty points card at the register, deadpan focus. The nurse waits across the counter. Panel 2: Close on the card reader in Kaito's hand — the points total reads 999. KAITO: Nine ninety-nine. Panel 3: Extreme close-up on Kaito's tired eyes going wide and still, the near-miss dread setting in, a bead of sweat. KAITO: One point short. Panel 4: The nurse blinks, mildly confused, glancing at her watch as her tote bag slips off her shoulder.

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.
