Text Version A written companion to this chapter — for accessibility, screen readers, and search.
Rain starts during the dead shift and the store has exactly one cheap clear umbrella left.

At dawn the rain stops, Kaito finally relaxes, and Rin reveals she quietly sold the umbrella online for a markup.
