He turned the swivel chair to face the French window behind him. The sun had begun to set and since he was in one of the tallest buildings in the city, it was easy to see the orange sun uninterrupted.
He wondered where all that relief came from when he heard the man's voice so he replayed what the man had said. He came to a conclusion as he got ready to leave his office for the day that he was relieved that Aki was in better condition.
The relief about Aki getting better could have stemmed from the fact that it meant the man would soon return and he would get the chance to punish the man to his heart's content after all, he had enough pent-up emotions.
It could also be simply because Aki was his friend the fact that the man was getting better was just good news to him and he appreciated the fact that Hiroshi had been there for the only person he had ever called a friend in his life.
