Summary: Mint has a strange-looking camera that she recieved as a gift from Owner. It has a lot of film, but she's hesitant to take any pictures because she's worried that she'll start taking shots of everything and run out too quickly. But she also feels guilty about NOT using it...so one day she decides that she's going to spend the whole day taking pictures!

First she heads over to the gas station to get a picture of Ojisan, but no matter what angle or pose she tries she can't find just one that feels right, and she ends up driving away without a photo. She then drives all around the nearby countryside, checking out various scenery and buildings, but no matter how many beautiful and interesting things she sees, she can never bring herself to press the shutter. Growing more and more frustrated she eventually settles on one scene that she at least HAS to get: a picture of the sunset over the old ruins. She drives up and waits, watching in awe as the fading light casts beautiful colors across the sky...

...and still can't take the shot. She was too fascinated to move. She drives home, somewhat dejected, but somehow the day doesn't feel like a waste at all. She only managed to take one picture, an impulsive snapshot of her scooter when she first stepped out of the house, but the other images she saw are burned into her mind more clearly than any photograph.
