Kaito: The box and I have an understanding.
Image description
Kaito, a man with messy black hair and an apron, climbs out of a large cardboard box that contains an umbrella, a key, and a set of false teeth, in what appears to be a convenience store.
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.
