As he drove home that night, Tohma couldn't stop seeing the pictures of Mika and K together. They'd been in his head all day, effectively preventing him from getting any real work done. He'd even imagined them doing things together that weren't shown in the pictures. The kinds of things couples did when there was more between them than just sex. A long talk with K had assured him that they did none of those things, that their attraction was indeed just sex, but he still couldn't get the images out of his mind.
Once he'd admitted to himself that seeing Mika with K bugged the hell out of him, he'd wondered why. Their relationship had never been monogamous, and they'd never had any problems with that. They never talked about their extramarital affairs, but he kept himself informed on all of Mika's lovers, or so he'd thought. Obviously something had been missed along the way. There'd been a time, Tohma was sure, when he'd have had no problem with K sleeping with Mika, though he probably would've thought twice about getting involved with K himself under those circumstances. Now, however, having considered said circumstances for the better part of eight hours, Tohma knew things were different. He was no longer willing to share his wife with anyone, and he was going to tell her that as soon as he got home. He'd already informed K that their affair was at an end.
He still hadn't decided what he was going to say to Mika when he saw her, so he was somewhat relieved not to find her at home. His relief was short-lived, however, as one of the first things he found was an envelope exactly the same as the one he held in his hand, except that it was addressed to Mika. He knew without looking what it must contain. Again he wondered who could have taken such pictures, and how, and why, but it didn't matter to him nearly as much as it had earlier. The envelope had been opened, so obviously she'd seen the pictures. He wondered how she'd felt, what she might have done, and how messed up it was that he really didn't know her well enough to even guess at her reaction.
He placed his envelope on the table next to hers and headed for his office to make some phone calls. He really needed to talk to Mika, but first he had to find her.
