He’s even less formally educated than Teru is and comes from an even more rural area, but Teru doesn’t know that yet-he just knows that whoever the mystery voice on the phone is, he lives in a VERY expensive part of town. I don’t think it really is “class” so much as it is just plain old wealth… we learn later on that Rei is not really of a higher social class by birth or education or anything, even though he has a lot of money now. I also wanted to make it clear that there was at least a perceived class difference here. There were a couple of reasons for including this-one just to show how each little area of Tokyo, generally marked by the closest train station, kind of has its own character. I really like the little travel scene here, where I kind of reduce all the train stations from Koenji to Meguro to little one-line descriptions.
