Degen: Green Candles

Kaito Renjo is riding a lucky streak in crypto — sharp, charming, believing his own hype. His best friend Emi watches him spiral and can't say the hard thing yet. His trading buddy Okabe is a warning Kaito can't recognize as his own future. By the end of the chapter Kaito has gone all-in on margin, thrown his rent at the position to "average down" — and a liquidation warning is blinking behind his oblivious grin.

Kaito's leveraged position finally hits the floor — and Emi shows up before he can hide the wreckage. The rent is gone. She says the hard thing she's been holding back. He tells himself he's listening.
