It's only when he finds himself reading a line in the budget for the third time that he admits he is distracted. To be fair, the last days have been overwhelming and hospital work has managed to accumulate in ridiculous amounts for the week he was out. He was at least a little relieved that the director had kept her promise and it had been just a week, more time and the chances of returning to a destroyed Karakura would be higher. Still, he finds it difficult to concentrate, his mind going over how things had just precipitated at camp and how there hadn't been time for goodbyes.
So, when the phone rings for the tenth time that afternoon, he is a little more snappish than usual. "Yes?"
The voice on the other end laughs. "You know, my boss gave me a really interesting job this time." It sounds happy. Happier than Ryuuken remembers and he is too shocked to answer. "Turns out I had to contact certain merchant. Lots of travel this time. The hat looked familiar and I took a chance.""
