文字記錄
The same customer returns from the other direction outside the rainy glass door, sees the CLOSED sign, and again turns away with the same dejected posture. Inside, Kaito watches with slack arms and a dead-eyed expression. There is no dialogue. This page uses repetition as a running gag and shows Kaito's helplessness growing.
圖片說明
The same tracksuit customer passes again, sees CLOSED again, and leaves again while Kaito watches helplessly.
關於本章
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.
