Added by YypLate one night, Misaki Kirihara and Ōtsuka Mayu visit Dr. Schroeder in PANDORA. Misaki states that it has been a while since they last saw each other, but Robert states that it hasn't been all that long. When Ōtsuka introduces herself, he tells her not to be so formal. He notes that he is under house arrest, stating that his experiments ended in vain due to Hei but states that he does not hold a grudge against anyone. Misaki asks him if he has ever heard of a Contractor that can dissolve matter and leaves behind a black dandelion. Robert states that he is aware of such an individual, but that he died months previously with a lot of people watching.[5]
Robert explains that he was experiment on a particle accelerator which would build a wall to enclose Hell's Gate and came close to destroying the Gate, but he was prevented from succeeding by EPR. He also notes that there were a number of other experiments ongoing at the time, including the "Black Flower", an experiment involving a parasitic plant that resembled a black dandelion found within Hell's Gate. He reveals that two years ago, it attached itself to an investigator that came back from the Gate and subsequently triggered a violent change in the person, who killed his co-workers with unheard of strength despite not becoming a Contractor. He died before security arrived, leaving a number of black flowers sprouting from his body. He introduces them to Mina Kandaswamy and Sergei Vectrof, who was in charge of that research as Misaki and Ōtsuka are ushered out before talking with them in private.[6]



Added by YypRobert later sneaks out of PANDORA to tell Misaki that "the two of them" want to talk to her.[7] He gives Misaki an experimental "Contact-type Anti-Gate Particle Irradiation Device" to use cure the Black Dandelion, telling her to think of it as a minature Saturn Ring. He notes that Sergei began to make it, but he finished it at Sergei's request. He tells Misaki that he has not seen Sergei since she was in PANDORA. He tells her to look into the Nishijama Group, which has labs comparable to PANDORA.[8]
