Kaito stands motionless in a silent comedic pause, staring at the CLOSED sign on the door. A single sweat drop sits by his temple. There is no dialogue. This page gives the joke a beat to breathe and shows Kaito caught between customer service, signage, and metaphysics.

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.
