Dawn light replaces the rain outside the glass door. Kaito stands mid-store after fixing the door, turning with slow dawning horror as Rin films him. She has flipped the small CLOSED sign so it faces inward toward the employees. Rin says, 'For us.' This final page resolves the chapter with a joke on burnout: the store may be open to customers, but the dead-hour workers are spiritually closed.

At dawn, Rin flips the CLOSED sign inward toward the staff and says it is for them.
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.
