Kaito throws the glass front door wide open, wild-eyed and decisive, while the same tracksuit customer startles backward in the doorway with his bag of cans. The CLOSED sign swings on the open door as Kaito says, 'We are OPEN.' This page gives Kaito an active victory over the sign's authority.

Kaito flings the front door open and declares the store open to the startled tracksuit customer.
关于本章
2 A.M., rain outside. A laminated CLOSED sign jams facing outward on the glass door, so the store is open but reads closed. Kaito cannot accept the contradiction and spirals over whether an open door can be closed, while a tracksuit customer keeps approaching, seeing CLOSED, and leaving in an identical running beat. Kaito finally flings the door open himself and the man enters, proving the store was open all along. At dawn Kaito fixes the sign, but Rin has quietly flipped it to read CLOSED facing inward, toward them, and films his dawning horror. For us.
