Rin: He works from in there now.
Image description
Rin, a young woman with a short light bob and dark roots, stands in a convenience store, wearing a hoodie under a striped apron with a name tag that reads "RIN", and holds up a phone with both hands as if filming, with a single earbud in her right ear and a deadpan expression, as a speech bubble above her right shoulder says, "He works from in there now."
About this chapter
During the dead-of-night shift Kaito finds a cardboard lost-and-found box under the counter that hasn't been emptied in three years. As he excavates increasingly cursed objects from it, a single customer keeps returning to add more, and Kaito slowly spirals into the realization that the box only grows and never empties. By the end, Rin is alone behind the counter, filming the empty stool where Kaito used to sit. He's in the box now.
