Please forgive me for the message out of the blue. I found your staff email online and wanted to reach out to express my gratitude for the care that you showed to one of your former patients, Akechi Goro. He probably didn't mention me, and to be honest with you, I'm not sure how to explain our connection. I consider myself something like his guardian, although not in any official capacity - regardless, he's a close friend, and it was on my suggestion that he checked in to the facility you work at.
I spoke with the facility staff many times during his stay and was made aware when you took over his treatment. The first good sign was a sharp and steady decrease in phone calls. Since he's returned home, he's spoken of you occasionally - it sounds like you got to know him well, so you'll probably understand what I mean when I say that it's clear he respects you in spite of the words he uses.
I formerly worked in the same field and know how difficult it is. You have my sincere admiration for the good work that you've done with him, and surely do with your other patients.
He's doing well. From what I've heard, the specialized help you gave him was the only reason he was able to make progress. I can't thank you enough for that.
No need to respond. I hope all is well for you in the future.
Best regards, Maruki Takuto
Sent three weeks ago, the evening after Akechi made an offhand comment about considering coming to work as his receptionist. Kidding, of course.
No response came. That was fine. Maruki's held onto the list of universities ever since, gently feeling out the edges of that joke for signs that he might be ready to step into the future.
As ever, his intuition with Akechi hasn't steered him wrong. ]

See you there. I can't wait to hear all about it.
