Rei Name Reading

The main reading is "Rei," but there are various readings that can be used in names, such as "Nori," "Masa," "Aki," "Michi," and "Aya." "Ne" (the 'shimesu' radical) is a radical that is attached to words related to gods, as seen in the kanji for "kami" (god) and "prayer."

Can also be read as "Aya"

Yusuke, be careful. Your friends are around.

And watch out for cars too.

Hey, cut it out! I'm gonna win!

Mei, don't cause trouble for your mommy!

I knooow!

Sorry for the sudden visit. Tomorrow it's at our place.

It's fine, really.

- Be good, okay? - Okay, okaaaay.

Be back by evening.

- Okay~! - Bye~!

- All good, right? - Yeah, sorry.

Okay!

Yup, come on in.

Mei! Hey, Mei!

I'm going out to buy snacks.

Play inside, okay? Don't go outside.

- Okaaay. - Yes.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!

Again!

Eight, nine, ten.

Are you ready?

Not yet!

Ready yet?

- Not yet! - Not here. Go over there!

Shhh!

Are you ready?

Not yet!

When I got home,

the pack that had five only had four left.

No way.

Oh, right. Did you hear? A suspicious person was seen around here yesterday.

Yeah, the school sent out an email about it.

- Yeah, yeah. - Scary, isn't it?

Totally.

- Next, please. - Ah.

Mei?

Everyone?

Mei?

Ah, Suzuki?

Sorry, is Yuka...

She's just lounging around at our place.

Um, is Mei over there by any chance?

What?!

She disappeared while they were in the middle of hide-and-seek.

They said she might have went to you. Is that true?

Yeah, that's right. Yeah!

She just vanished...

- I messaged everyone on LINE. - Okay.

I'm sorry...

They said no one's seen her.

I'll look around this area.

- Thanks. - Me too.

Thank you.

It's okay, it's okay. She'll turn up soon.

I'm really sorry...

Hurry and go inside.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

- A call from your house. - Thanks.

Hello? What happened all of a sudden?

What?!

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Where's Mei?

If we find out anything, we'll contact you immediately.

Please do...

Thank you.

Are you okay?

- Sorry. - It's okay.

No matter where I go or what I do, it feels like there's a hole in my heart.

Like everything just slips right through it.

There isn't a single day I don't think about my child...

But if I stay gloomy forever, my child would scold me for it...

So I try to smile at least once a day.

Thank you very much.

Alright, next is Suzuki.

Don't push yourself but if there's anything you'd like to talk about...

I...

I...

The washing machine...

Take your time, it's okay.

It's because...

I never replaced that old washing machine...

Mei...

Wasn't able to breathe...

You haven't traveled or anything, right?

You're not using a cleaning robot. Want me to bring mine over?

Hey, I might be sticking my nose in too much, but...

There's a temple nearby that does ceremonial burn offerings, you know?

I heard it's a good place. What do you think?

Yeah...

I'm home...

Welcome back.

There was an antique market at the park.

I ended up buying it even though it was pricey.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here you go.

- Ah, this... - Hm?

It's nothing...

There we go.

Take this with you.

Okay...

- This one? - Um, and...

Okay! Done.

Okay.

Ah, welcome home.

Oh. I'm... home...

Have you been sleeping well at night?

Ah, yes.

How do you feel when you wake up?

I feel fine.

Do you have an appetite?

Yes, I do.

At first glance it might look strange, but...

It's called doll therapy.

Dolls can actually help a lot with emotional recovery.

Doll therapy...

Stuffed animals sometimes help people cope with losing a pet...

And realistic baby dolls, reborn dolls, have even helped improve dementia symptoms.

It's recognized as effective worldwide, you know.

Hmm...

Don't worry so much.

Stay like this for a while and just be there for your wife.

I'm thinking of reducing the medication little by little.

Okay.

Ah. Found it, found it.

Welcome! How old is she?

She's five.

Maybe it's too big...

- Let's check the other side too. - Okay.

Look! The sea!

This feels so nice.

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm good.

- I'm taking the picture. - Okay~

Look this way.

Say cheese.

It already arrived?

- Ah, welcome home. - I'm back.

These new ones have too many features, they're so hard to use.

I see...

- It's working! - Thank goodness.

Good. This thing is complicated, you know.

Suzuki.

Huh? Was today your checkup?

No. I went to the gynecologist.

The gynecologist? Why?

Huh? Don't tell me...

Yes, okay, okay, okay.

Right here. Okay...

Oh, it's not done.

Wait, it'll be done in a moment.

Once this part attaches...

Want to sit?

Here, go ahead.

Thanks.

She's asleep. So cute.

Okay, Mai. Mai~

Mom. Mom, over here. Mom, look this way.

You're taking way too many already.

Okay Mai, yep. Over here, this way, Mai.

Too close!

Okay, Mom! Mom, you're in the shot!

Yes, yes, yes. Okay, okay.

Yes, yes, yes.

Let's go.

Okay!

- Let's go! - Okay.

Wow, Mai is laughing so much.

Come here, come here, come on, come on.

Hey hey hey hey.

Oh, maybe over here? Oh, maybe this way? Maiii!

Okaaay.

Things are so convenient nowadays.

What are you talking about? Those have been around for a while.
