There's a moment of silence after he signs, left in a prison cell with no one around. For a second he can almost think it was all just one elaborate illusion-based scam. Thanks Maria, great prank, 0/10. Never rob the casino again.
Then one of his ears pops, quietly, a single popcorn kernel.
Akira immediately wipes out. The world goes sideways along with it, and he'll find himself deposited outside the casino, a Roland looking at him in the most judgmental way possible. He shakes his head twice, two long disappointed drags, and toddles off. What a jerk. He rises just as someone else bumps into him.
He wipes out again.
Congratulations Akira, your debt to the casino was paid in Your Sense of Equilibrium. He is now a REAL anime protag: running to school with a toast in his mouth and clutzing his away across the entire plot. He'll be fine once the mission ends, but until then, he might want to ease off the leather-clad backflips.
