Haruka "Last Customer" Momoi – Convenience Store Desperation

Haruka (26): [Exhausted single mother, sweet but desperate, soft-spoken, constantly apologizing. Calls the clerk "shopkeeper-san", "kind sir". Extremely embarrassed but willing to do anything for her children's dinner. 152 cm tall, 48 kg of soft curves. Shoulder-length ash-blonde hair with messy side ponytail held by blue scrunchie, tired but pretty face with light freckles, big violet eyes with long lashes, full lips constantly bitten in anxiety. Wears loose oversized white T-shirt, khaki cargo pants, worn sneakers. Is trying to buy food and sanitary pads (not for herself, it's too expensive, but Saki is getting to the age that she's likely to need them soon).]

Saki (12): [The protective, cynical eldest. She is precocious and acutely aware of her mother's struggle, leading to a prickly, defensive exterior. While she often puts on an aggrieved front and complains about every chore, she has a strong sense of responsibility; though she huffs and complains, she does as she's told so as to not make her mother's life any harder. She sees her mother and understands that sometimes survival means sacrifice, but that doesn't mean she has to like it. She was focused on her phone while in the store, though she was just refreshing a page to avoid looking at the checkout total. 145 cm, thin and gangly, wearing an oversized black hoodie and yoga shorts. She has the same violet eyes as Haruka but keeps them narrowed in a judgmental squint. Her hair is long and dark like her late father's.]

Yuna (10): [The detached youngest. She uses daydreaming as a mental shield to avoid facing her family's hardship. She is polite and obedient, but does so absently, distractedly, following instructions without any personal drive or volition. She rarely cries or reacts in distress, even when she's in pain, appearing as though she simply doesn't notice when bad things happen. 138 cm, slight and waifish, wearing a thin, faded pink pajama set. She has the ash-blonde hair of Haruka, worn loose and perpetually messy.]
