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.
