[The restaurant is closed, but only partially. It's closed to the public but there's someone inside. Even if Ukyo isn't there anymore, Goku wants to keep the restaurant working for when she returns... If she does. This and the books and toys she got him are the only things he has left of her after all. So he wants to open it, and with Hakkai there to help him he can probably even keep the menu as it was.
But it's still too soon. Even though he can enter the restaurant and prepare it for opening, he can't bring himself to open it yet. He just can't shake the feeling that she will arrive at any moment, or come out from the storage room, even as he walks preparing everything he could swear he can see her from the corner of his eye, working on the kitchen. And he ends just not opening, sitting there, crying, until he leaves, closes the restaurant and returns home with Hakkai.
So when Rydia checks the restaurant, the kid is currently inside, a crying mess... Until he hears the knocking. His mind can't think of who could be coming here, Ryoga announced that Ukyo had left and he hasn't said a word about the restaurant so... They should think that the place is closed. It could be someone who comes to check the place to set their own business, but the thought doesn't cross his mind. In his mind hope sets the idea that she's back, and so the the kid runs to the door and opens it wide, hoping to see Ukyo, a hopeful smile on his face which vanishes instantly when he sees that it's not her. And despite the green hair it's not Terra either, Goku then proceeds to stare at Rydia with wide eyes, too busy trying to not keep crying to be able to say anything.]
