For some reason, when Rei told him everything, he felt his shoulders were lightened even just so a little. He had always thought that he should put up a strong front and wanted to bring a movie that was befitting as thanks for reuniting him and his family. However, the more he tried to make it bigger, the more he felt that he was doing it wrong and the spiral just kept going and going.
Somehow able to meet Jin at this point of juncture allowed him to think otherwise. As much as he did not want Jin to interfere because this is after all a gift to him as thanks but Rei felt that he had once more dropped into the bottom again with all the problems that he did not foresee.
