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.

At 2 A.M., the convenience store is lit by buzzing fluorescent lights and rain runs down the glass front door. Kaito Mori stands behind the register in his striped apron, looking toward a small crooked laminated sign on the door. The sign faces outward and reads CLOSED, even though the store is still open. This opening page establishes the central contradiction that will drive the chapter's deadpan comedy.

Kaito stands at the front door with one hand on the small laminated CLOSED sign, trying to pull it free from the frame track. Rain blurs the glass behind him. His face is flat with dawning dread as he says, 'It's stuck.' This page turns a minor maintenance problem into the night's existential crisis.

In a two-panel exchange, Rin holds up her phone and watches Kaito with her usual half-lidded calm. She says, 'So we're closed.' Kaito faces her deadpan and replies, 'We're open.' The CLOSED sign is visible behind them on the glass door. This page states the comic argument: reality, signage, and employee sanity no longer agree.
