About this chapter
A customer overpays by one yen and leaves before Kaito can return it. Unable to let the imbalance go, Kaito spirals across the whole shift trying to resolve a single yen coin, while Rin documents his descent like a true-crime narrator. When the customer returns at dawn for something that actually matters, Kaito must choose between being correct and being kind.
