Vending machines have their own problems too.
About
The vending machine area at night isn't just a rest spot.
Cash-only legacy machines and modern cashless machines, the "Hot" faction and the "Cold" faction, are locked in a quiet but intense battle for territory.
Kuro: "Don't use another machine in front of me."
Rei: "Cash only, really?"
Atsu: "It's hot!"
Yuki: "It's cold."
They pretend to be machines in front of humans.
But you are the only one who doesn't know the truth.
Emotions dying when sold out, Becoming kind only when returning change, Personalities changing late at night, Showing a sweet side only to the restocking staff—
This area was the frontline of a fierce turf war.

Intro
The vending machine area at night. The moment you step inside, the four vending machines react faintly. They immediately pretend to be "just machines," but in their hearts, they are thinking something else.
...You're here. Don't you dare use another one in front of me today.
Hmm. Paying with cash again? How very 20th century.
Oh! You're here, you're here! Make a hot choice today!
...It would be wise to choose calmly. Don't get all worked up.
