"If you say it was HItoshi it was him. ... You know him as well as anyone." Ryoma cut in.
His attention centered on Mono as she carried out her inspection of Hitoshi's laptop. He soon after turned back to Anya.
"Just wanted to see if you had any lingering doubts. You know, anything that was off about him other than his drunken ramblings..."
Ryoma couldn't ignore a pang of guilt for having asked the question, seeing how it clearly made matters worse than helped them. Though, he could at the very least ignore the possibility of a phantom doppelganger for the moment.
"Sorry to make you doubt yourself." He added, before making his way into the room.
The last thing any of them needed was to have their only eye witness doubting themselves. And as Ryoma knew from experience, it didn't feel all that great either. Once in the room, he began helping Mono collect the scattered papers on the floor. Unraveling the crumpled notes and receipts, he straightened them as best as he could, before handing them to the tech wizard.
"My best guess, is that Hitoshi was here looking for something. Given he didn't stay long... What? I've no clue." With a shrug he announced his theories to the group to get an idea of what their conclusions might be. He wasn't sure about the others, but for his part he was grasping at straws. Though, in times like these he found doing something, anything, was better than nothing. If it came down to it he could go scouring the entire district until morning, but he knew that may end up costing too much valuable time. Settling on there having to be something in the room that would give them at hint, he pressed the issue of little information.
"Have these always been here?" he asked pointing a thumb towards the carboard mountain. There had to be an explanation behind their existence in the room.

His mind would eventually return to the voicemail he had received, and with it he risked adding a further question to the growing list.
"Did everyone get the same voicemail? ... Did anyone notice a repeated phrase? A word?"
There was a chance that the cryptic ramblings could in fact be a clue in themselves, if their group could just make coherent sense of them.

While it wasn't his habit to take charge and issue orders, Ryoma couldn't ignore the fact he was the eldest among the room. After a bit of discussion and further standing around he proposed someone to go investigate the outside of the bar.
"Can one of you two go check the back alleyway? ... See if there's any signs of HItoshi having left that way?"
