Inside the stall, the booth owner was leaning lazily against the back counter. A few customers were taking shots, but the owner looked thoroughly bored—until he spotted Hanabi approaching from a distance. His posture immediately straightened, his eyes narrowing as if he had been waiting for her all night.

At the booth, the disguised assassin behind the counter gripped the back ledge tightly, his knuckles turning white. A customer stepped away, and Hanabi immediately took the open spot, picking up one of the toy rifles. She reached into her pocket to pull out money for the game.
