The finale of the Yuki arc. On what turns out to be her last night layover, Amano Yuki tells Kaito she's been promoted to the daytime express route — her first run leaves at six. Kaito treats the goodbye as a timetabling problem, laying two blank schedules side by side and tracing them with a finger, hunting for a single minute where a day person and a night person could both exist. The night regulars deliver contradictory, unverifiable verdicts on whether day and night can ever meet. Again and again he finds nothing — "...no overlap." Then he finds it: one minute, 5:59 to 6:00, the seam between the end of his shift and the start of her first run. When the minute finally arrives, the delivery doors slide open, the day clerk walks in and the store fills with morning commuters — the minute exists and it is not theirs. What they had they only ever lived in the empty hours, and no version of it survives daylight. Yuki says so kindly, without drama, and goes to drive her route. Kaito is left with the correct answer and nothing else; Rin sits beside him in the daylight, phone face-down, saying nothing at all. The next night at 3:12 the doors ding and it is a stranger — Rin starts to raise her phone, and doesn't.

ページ 1

A wide establishing shot taken from behind the register counter of a 24-hour convenience store, looking out through the sliding glass doors at an empty, rain-slicked street at three in the morning. Kaito, in his striped apron and KAITO name tag, leans tiredly on the counter. Beside him on a stool sits Rin, hood up, phone in hand, one earbud in. Rin: "Dead tonight."

ページ 2

Panel 1: The sliding doors open and Yuki steps in from the rainy dark — a night-bus driver in a dark navy transit uniform jacket with the sleeves rolled to the forearm, short black hair tucked behind both ears, a dented steel thermos in one hand, and a whistle on a lanyard at her neck. Kaito looks up. Kaito: "3:12." Panel 2: Yuki walks straight past the steel free-hot-water dispenser without stopping, heading for the counter. Kaito watches, a flicker of unease crossing his face — she always fills her thermos, but tonight she doesn't. Kaito: "...You didn't fill it."

ページ 3

Panel 1: Yuki sets the dented thermos down on the counter, flat and plain. Yuki: "Last one." Panel 2: Close on Kaito, completely blank, not following her. Kaito: "Last... what." Panel 3: Yuki leans on the counter, dry and matter-of-fact. Yuki: "They gave me days. The morning express." Yuki: "First run's at six."
