Transcript

Kaito reaches toward a small fluffy dog at the open glass entrance as rain falls outside. The dog sits on the entrance mat. Kaito says, “Him too?!” In the lower panels, Kaito looks toward the dog through the closing glass doors, then slumps on the floor against a shelf while a woman stands behind the counter. Kaito says, “...I've stopped existing.”

About this chapter

At 3 A.M. the shop's automatic sliding door stops opening for Kaito, though it opens for Rin, a drifting plastic bag and the waiting dog. Kaito spirals into wondering whether he has quietly stopped existing, until Rin and Tetsu work out that he simply moves too little for the sensor to notice. At dawn, slouching out at the end of his shift, the door finally swings wide for him: it just wants him to go home.
