(In one of the underground shopping centers, there is a cake vending machine that is designed like a slot machine. It only sells one type of cake from some celebrity chef's bakery but it also comes with a gimmick. One only has to pay with their kryptos and pull the lever to receive their cake and if you're lucky, you might even get a second for free!

When Tsurumaru pulls the lever, the very end of his kimono's sleeve gets caught in the gear. He tries to pull loose but it won't let him go so when he tries to pull the lever again, it locks without payment. When he tries to pay again to pull the lever, his sleeve just becomes even more caught.

In the end, he can be found trapped by the machine with 2 sealed slices of cake in the vending machine tray. When he sees Gojo, his face turns bright red and he says quickly,)

Don't say anything.

[ do you even remember who you're talking to, tsuru-chan? gojo can Perceive you.

it wasn't a coincidence that he just randomly showed up here in the nick of time to catch him in a rough spot. he saw his energy a mile away and now he is being rewarded for having the consideration to come by for a quick hi. shifting his gaze between the trapped tsuru and the two cakes on the tray, gojo crouches down in front of the vending machine, an oh so pleasant smile on his face. ] Say what, Tsuru-chan? [ don't mind him, he is just going to pick up those two cakes. ]

You sound like I'm gonna mention how this is the first time I've ever seen someone get caught by a lever. [ what yummy little cakes though! looking between the two in his hands, he stacks one on top of the other as he pops the container of one open. ] Or how you should probably just give up on yankin' yourself free 'cause it looks like the vendin' machine is 'bout to swallow you whole.

(When Gojo comes closer, he almost thinks he's going to help. Almost. And then he goes for the cakes instead and his jaw drops. Pale cheeks start to glow pink and he snaps,)

I told you not to say anything!

(And he yanks at his sleeve... nothing happens.)

[rikugan]

Oops. [ he doesn't sound sorry at all. ]

Have you considered just takin' your clothes off?

[cranekin]

Don't be so forward.

(He sure is gonna take it that way. He's keeping his clothes on thank you very much???)

[rikugan]

I'm not tellin' you to strip down to your birthday suit, Tsuru. Just take off your friggin' robe. It's the most efficient way to free yourself from your current captor.

[ he doesn't even care he's diggin' into the cake now bc he needs sumthin' to balance out this nonsense. ]

[cranekin]

You could have said that instead.

(And not make it sound so bold!!! And though he's reluctant... he does shimmy it off his shoulders and try to give it another tug. No, it's still stuck!!! And he looks back at Gojo like, "WELL????" 🥺🥺🥺🥺)

[rikugan]

It was implied.

[ the point is to free him of the vending machine; not to salvage the robe??? ]

Just leave it. [ it's just a piece of fabric. ] You can get a new one.

[cranekin]

(Wow, he looks... actually offended!?)

I like this one, though. I've had it for as long as I can remember!

[rikugan]

What do you want me to do about it then? Break the machine?

[ it's an option. ]

[cranekin]

If necessary.

(He's serious about his aesthetic.)

[ sorry, vending machine. he didn't want to do this to you, but some people are just so materialistic.

lifting his hand, he tears away the space between the lever and the machine, generating a magnetic pull to rip it straight out — along with tsuru-chan's precious sleeve. ]
