대본

The microwave display counts down from six minutes as the huge gratin rotates. Kaito stands aside, dead-eyed, gripping his small cold bento while condensation gathers on the lid. Rin watches with one earbud in and films his misery on her phone with a faint smirk. No speech bubbles are visible. The page stretches time for comedy and makes Rin the detached witness to Kaito’s suffering.

이미지 설명

A six-minute gratin timer counts down while Kaito waits with his cold bento and Rin films him.

이 챕터에 대해

3 A.M. One of the store's two microwaves dies with a pop and a curl of smoke, leaving a single working unit — and a slowly forming queue of night-shift oddballs who each need to heat something, each taking longer than the last: a salaryman's coffee, a student's family-size gratin, an old man who keeps opening the door to check and restarting, and the tracksuit regular microwaving something frozen solid on max time. Kaito just wants to heat his own bento and watches his turn get pushed further and further back, holding the cold box in the same dead-eyed spot as the queue grows. At dawn the delivery guy fixes the 'dead' microwave in two seconds (it was unplugged) — but Kaito's shift is ending and Rin has already eaten his bento cold on camera, because it was never getting warm anyway. She wins, he gets nothing.
