Kai sits at the garden bench with the jasmine-covered fence at his back, trying to sell a found airfryer online. Disheartened by the low prices, he posts his listing anyway and gets up to make coffee. When he returns, it has already sold — and his calm, happy slow-life mood is restored.

Page 1

Kai sits on a wooden bench in his very small garden at dusk, backed by a high fence covered in flowering jasmine ivy. A small table in front of him holds an open laptop and the secondhand airfryer he intends to sell. He looks relaxed, trying to handle a practical errand without breaking the calm of his slow-life routine. The page establishes the modest adult stakes: one object from the old life needs to leave the garden.

Page 2

Seen from behind, Kai walks away from the bench toward the house to make coffee, relaxed and unhurried. The bench sits empty against the jasmine-covered fence; the open laptop and airfryer wait on the small table amid the flowers. The quiet page creates a pause and shows Kai choosing patience over compulsively watching the sale.

Page 3

Kai comes back with coffee and sits again between the jasmine ivy fence and the small garden table. On the laptop, he sees that the airfryer has sold. The page delivers the gentle turn of the chapter: a tiny piece of financial and emotional clutter disappears while the slow morning remains intact.
