Transcripción
At the register, the customer places a single canned coffee on the counter, his bag of cans set at his feet. Kaito rings up the purchase with a rare look of deep satisfaction and says, 'Welcome.' The CLOSED sign remains faint in the background. This page confirms that the store was open all along and lets Kaito briefly win.

The tracksuit customer buys canned coffee while Kaito rings it up with quiet satisfaction.
Acerca de este capítulo
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.
