Transcript

Rin and Kaito are at the store entrance, while an elderly woman sweeps near the vending machines outside. Rin says, “I’m not filming this one.” Kaito asks, “Then what are you doing?” Rin says, “Apparently, my section.” The elderly woman says, “There.” Rin and Kaito then sweep the pavement beside her.

Image description

Rin and Kaito stand with an elderly woman outside the brightly lit convenience store, holding brooms as they sweep the wet pavement.

About this chapter

The morning after Kaito finally crossed the glass, he returns to the footpath and discovers that helping Kiku is not the same as taking over her work. As the wind scatters debris back across the pavement, he learns to value a route made passable one small sweep at a time, and Rin chooses to join them outside.
