Hypothetically. Jim trying to help Kane get back into the house during day because it is too dangerous for Kane to wait till sunset?
i tried so hard to think of a way to work this into canon because it is actually Delicious but the time periods of "kane is too weak to bust down a door" and "kane goes outside" are mutually exclusive. so here's an AU!
takes place about a year after jim took kane in, but we’re ignoring the fact that kane has super strength and any other plot holes preventing this from being canon shhhh this is just for fun

Kane was fully on human time by this point. In fact, he got up even earlier than Jim, sometimes even earlier than the sun.
It was an innocent decision: I might as well take out the trash while I’m up, since it’s still dark. He had no reason to believe it would go any different than normal. The only thing that differed from the norm was that it was significantly windy outside, the air whistling around him. Out the back door, trash where it belongs, back to the house, where he noticed the door was closed. He’d left it open, but the wind must have knocked it shut. He tried to turn the knob, but it wouldn’t budge. It had locked automatically.
Kane’s mind went blank, just staring at his hand on the unmoving doorknob. Frozen.
