The store is brightly lit at night, with shelves and refrigerators stocked with goods and dark windows along one side; Kaito stands behind the counter while another person sits on a stool. Musical notes appear beneath the ceiling speaker. Caption: “Read from right to left.” Time: “2:47 A.M.” Right middle: Kaito stands at the register as musical notes accompany the chime. Sound: “♪ DING DONG DIDDLY DING ♪” Left middle: Kaito appears in the same pose as the chime repeats. Sound: “♪ DING DONG DIDDLY DING ♪” Bottom right: Rin, wearing an earbud, looks toward the ceiling speaker. Rin: “It’s stuck.” Bottom left: Close-up of Kaito’s tired eye. Kaito: “Since midnight.”

At 2:47 A.M. the shop's ceiling speaker gets stuck looping the same four-note jingle, and Kaito's attempts to stop it (a ladder, a broom, head office's hold music) only make it worse until he is conducting it. At 4:58 it cuts out mid-note and the silence is unbearable. At dawn Tetsu walks in humming it, and all three finish the shift humming together.
