[ How is it so easy for her? How can she so easily touch his hair? How can she think it's easy to give him hugs, cuddle up to him, return that -- kiss. How can she knowing that she's not a part of his past in the same capacity. He wonders. He's curious. He always has been curious about how people tick. It's not that he wants to know for the sake of his art this time, though.
He wants to understand so he understands her. He doesn't understand it all, not yet. And she's the only person he can talk openly with. So, for now, he lets those thoughts linger and disappear, quickly replacing them again with the present concern about her life and condition.
She is priority now.
That touch makes him pause, but it helps, at least a little. It makes him feel better just a small amount. But honestly, he'll take what he can get. He's glad to get any attention from her that she'll give him. And sometimes, he'll demand more.
Oh yeah - he should hurry.
He does despite how hard it is to pull himself away from that touch and attention granted. He has much less clothes here than at home - everything costs Chroma. Cordis consumes Chroma, and he has a hard time getting close to people, so it's not like he generates it at the same rate as he he would if it were simply money he needed.
Regular currency that didn't require touch and interaction. He returns in something more simple than he'd normally wear (pen motif everywhere as necessary, of course). No one except Reimi will see him.
He doesn't say anything yet, just crawls under those blankets with her because even if she's better now, he knows Chroma will help her, and it'll be good for him. It'll be good to be reassured that she's alive. ]

You went in there, too? Or, you at least saw it.
