Why this phrase
Kofuku is jammed in a Tokyo ticket gate with a dead IC card. Hana is the station staff at the charge window. The card is not broken, the balance is zero, and the fix is one line at the window or the green charge machine: チャージをお願いします. Ends on the 3,000 yen top-up that actually gets you through. Transport video, so the CTA points at the trip-kit hub.
