Kaito opens a tall glass refrigerator door, revealing many identical plain bottles inside, one of which has fallen horizontally, and he looks on with a single sweat drop on his temple.
About this chapter
Kaito resolves to finally get the drink cooler perfectly stocked, every label facing out. The shelf refuses to stay done: customers and Rin keep undoing his work, a toppled row resets him, and he goes feral trying to finish. At the midpoint he gives up and walks away, hollow. Rin quietly stops filming and, with the recurring salaryman and a jogger she secretly recruits, restocks the whole cooler behind his back. Kaito turns to find it flawless and full, which he didn't do. Rin, already back on her phone, deadpans that it finished itself and won't take credit. Ends on the morning-delivery crate callback, but this time Kaito almost-smiles.
