Kaito: In triplicate.
Image description
A man in a wet coat stands at a store counter, holding a small pen awkwardly over a blank piece of paper, with a sweat drop on his brow, looking confused, while Kaito stands behind the register with a calm expression. Kaito says, "In triplicate."
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.
