			[[Paulo]] is barely awake, but [[Daisy]] has a game for him: step only on the crosswalk's white lines and you get to make a wish. Easy enough, surely — unless [[David]] has appointed himself the obstacle.

			== Synopsis ==
			It's early in the morning, and Paulo is not thrilled about it, grumbling that "there should be a law against waking up this early" as he and Daisy arrive at a crosswalk.<ref name=":c29.1p1">{{Cite chapter\|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c29.1/p1}}</ref> Daisy, considerably more awake, offers a game instead of sympathy. She's heard that if you only step on the white lines while crossing, you get to make a wish.<ref name=":c29.1p1" />

			Paulo takes the bait immediately. "Piece o' cake!" he declares, hopping onto the first painted line and striding forward with total confidence. He barely gets his wish started before he notices a pair of feet planted squarely on the line ahead of him.<ref name=":c29.1p1" />

			[[File:c29.1_p1_panel7.png\|alt=David drops into a fighting stance and declares "I AM WISHING GAME HARD MODE".\|thumb\|Every wishing game needs a final boss.]]
			The feet belong to David, who has apparently been waiting there with his arms folded and a thoroughly evil grin. He drops into a fighting stance and announces himself as "'''I AM WISHING GAME HARD MODE'''". Paulo lets out a horrified scream, which does nothing to slow David down as he advances with an "Ooga booga!". Daisy, for her part, strolls right past the pair of them and finishes her crossing with a smile, entirely untroubled.<ref name=":c29.1p1" />

			== Trivia & observations ==
			* Veronica's commentary under the page says the gag was inspired by a strip in ''Azumanga Daioh'', combined with her own childhood habit of making wishes or setting goals when crossing zebra crossings. Finding the same superstition in a manga came as a bit of a relief. In her words, "Wow, I'm not the only one!"<ref name=":c29.1p1" />
			* The same commentary explains why these two got the gag. Daisy is "the type to encourage that kind of play", and Paulo is "absolutely eager to impress".<ref name=":c29.1p1" />
			* This isn't the first decimal-numbered interstitial to squeeze in between full chapters. Single-page shorts like [[Catty Remarks]] had been slotting into the gaps since much earlier in the series.<ref name=":c12.1p1">{{Cite chapter\|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c12.1/p1}}</ref>
			* "Piece o' cake!" is a well-worn boast for Paulo, who once sized up his middle school teachers as "a piece of cake" too.<ref name=":c29.1p1" /><ref name=":c11p4">{{Cite chapter\|url=https://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c11/p4}}</ref>

			== Related chapters ==
			* '''[[Carry Me]]''': Paulo plays the wishing game again years later, this time at a crosswalk while carrying a deathly ill [[Lucy]] on his back. He tells himself not to play, plays anyway, and is congratulating himself on a "Perfect run" when a turtle trips him up.
			* '''[[Unspoken Rule]]''': David revives his self-appointed-obstacle routine during the dodgeball standoff between [[Mike]] and Lucy, declaring "Dodgeball Hard Mode!"
			* '''[[Helping Hands]]''': An earlier chapter that also sends Paulo and Daisy off on a walk together.
