Kaito: RAIN AGAIN.
Image description
Inside a quiet convenience store, Kaito stands behind the register looking bored with his hand on his face, while Rin stands near the door looking at her phone, as heavy rain streaks down the front windows, and an umbrella stand with a single transparent umbrella sits near the door.
About this chapter
Rain starts during the dead shift and the store has exactly one cheap clear umbrella left. Across the night, four increasingly desperate customers try to claim it, each attempt ending on the identical dead-eyed beat panel of Kaito holding the umbrella just out of reach. At dawn the rain stops, Kaito finally relaxes, and Rin reveals she quietly sold the umbrella online for a markup.
