[ Daniel didn't tell Robby that he went back to the Science Discovery Center. Maybe the events of what transpired there the other month were too raw - maybe Daniel was worried something might happen when he'd enter that building again, despite the effects on these new places usually disappearing after the month is over. And he does figure people have probably already looked through that entire place, but.. it was the place that seemed to hold the most information on this place so far. Daniel, desperate at this point, had to do something other than just running the diner. He has to find some solution to all of this. Some scrap of information that might make all of this make sense in a way that doesn't just feel like despair, but also like hope.
It's how he ends up with the report. It's the last thing Daniel expected to find there, but.. he did. Right there in that cabinet. With Robby's name on it.
He couldn't even read it on the spot. He had to take it back to his apartment, reading it, looking it over. Feeling.. a myriad of emotions, really. So many different ones. There's too many things in the file that give him pause, that give him thoughts.
So he doesn't let Robby know. Not right away. Even if he surely sees the boy in the meantime, he doesn't tell him, keeping it all to himself.
It's only days later that he sends the boy the message. Late at night - not past bedtime, really, but late enough that it's the time Daniel usually closes up the diner to go home. ]
