Hiro frets as he reappears in Japan about 10 minutes after her original text message. It's not a stretch for him to act like the nervous fiance who is on the way to America to help his betrothed after receiving a text message. He's worried that she's not ok and that it may be too much for her alone. He considers vanishing from the plane bathroom to see how she's doing, but to appear so suddenly in the US is only going to ruin his plan. He has the Blackberry he used to get the combination from the safe and that he tied into the house cameras the night of the party.

The flight is pure torture. He really is beginning to hate regular travel these days.
