Kaito Mori, a young man with messy black hair and eyebags, wearing a striped store apron with a name tag that reads KAITO, reaches with tongs towards a glass warming case holding a single round meat bun, his face looking tense with a bead of sweat near his temple.
A tired-looking Kaito, wearing a store apron with his name tag, stands behind a counter where a salaryman in a suit is pointing impatiently at a single bun inside a warming case.
Rin, a young woman with a short bob and dark roots wearing a striped apron over a hoodie, holds up her phone horizontally to film, leaning against a store shelf stocked with bags of snacks, with a bored expression.
Kaito, a tired-looking man with messy black hair wearing a striped apron with a nametag, stands in a convenience store, holding tongs over a glass warming case that contains a single steamed bun.
Kaito, a man with messy dark hair and an apron that says KAITO, gestures with one open hand toward a coffee machine, while a tired-looking salaryman in a suit and glasses stands beside him, looking toward the coffee machine as well.
Kaito looks forward with wide, bloodshot eyes, his black hair messy, as he wears a striped apron with a name tag that reads "KAITO" at the bottom.
Kaito, a male clerk with tired eyes and a name tag that reads "KAITO" on his apron, uses tongs to pick up a single steamed bun from a glass warming case inside a brightly lit convenience store where the fluorescent ceiling lights are flickering.
Kaito looks on in shock as Rin snatches a bun from a display case, saying, "Mine now."
Kaito, a man with messy black hair and eyebags wearing a striped apron with a name tag that reads "KAITO," stands behind a store counter, staring with wide eyes and an open mouth into an empty glass warming case, holding tongs in one hand, with a speech bubble above his head that says, "No."
A young woman named Rin, with a short light bob and a name tag reading "RIN" on her apron, holds up a round bun between two fingers while looking forward with a flat expression inside a store.
Kaito smiles gently while receiving a steaming bun from Rin, who wears an apron, but then Rin takes the bun back, having already bitten into it, with a flat expression as Kaito looks on in surprise.
Rin, a young woman with a short bob, stands in the foreground, eating the last bite of a bun and holding a phone, while Kaito, a man with messy dark hair, stands behind a counter in the background, crying with his hand on his head as he looks at an empty display case.

Text Version A written companion to this chapter — for accessibility, screen readers, and search.

3 A.M. There is exactly one meat bun left in the hot-food case, and Kaito has decided he has earned it. A ladder of impossible customers, a running gag of interrupted reaches, and a power flicker conspire to keep him from ever taking a bite. Rin films the whole ordeal. In the end she saves the bun for him, then takes the first bite herself.
