Kaito holds the front door open with both hands so the little CLOSED sign swings inward toward the store. He looks strained by his own solution. Rin stands beside him with her phone and says, 'Now it's closed to the wall.' This page undercuts Kaito's attempt to solve the problem and keeps Rin as the calm observer of his collapse.

Kaito props the door open so the CLOSED sign swings inward; Rin observes that it is now closed to the wall.
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.
