About this chapter
The register prints a milestone survey — the store is one customer away from a count Kaito decides is destiny. He becomes convinced the next person through the sliding doors is The One. The doors ding three times: a drunk salaryman who's one short, the same salaryman coming back for his umbrella, and finally the real milestone customer — a soaked stray cat that wandered in from the rain. Rin films the whole spiral. The cat ends up on the counter eating Kaito's dinner; Rin wins the internet, Kaito gets nothing.
