Reiko actually fell into a chair when she heard the news. She bit her lip silent a few moments. "Ha, I mean I understand. I'll make sure he gets the care he needs." She didn't add 'and throttle him for scaring me', she just knew now he was coming home.

She had waited, calling his aunt when he had gone out of contact, now that he was coming home... Strangling could wait, she wanted him healthy before she ripped into him for worrying her.

Reiko toyed with the ring on her finger as she hung up, her eyes closed, thanking whatever spirit had protected her husband as she got up, intending on greeting him at the door.
