Plot

Show spoiler

In Session 2, Robbie makes his debut as a member of the Mia Toko staff, introduced by Gretel Kurosaki. Although he doesn't work at the establishment as frequently as Akane Udasenkai, Robbie plays a notable role in the Mia Toko community. He is the first to notice that Hugo Whitlock is a Taberu, revealing the nature of his condition and providing information about his contact, who supplies fresh lifeforms to consume.
During a visit to a bar in Session 3, with the of-age Mia Toko staff, Robbie introduces Hugo to his contact, Sadako Ito, and in his inebriated state, he expresses his admiration for Mia Toko and the relationships he has forged there. Robbie shares his belief that it's highly unlikely for humans to change their perceptions of Jaoren, highlighting the deep bonds formed within the Mia Toko community.
In Session 3, Robbie takes on a more active role, leading Hugo and Dimitri Vasiliev to a Jaoren bar called Warui Basho. There, they encounter Himeno Haise and Komatsu Orochi, individuals with whom Robbie clearly has connections and are members of Freedom, but shows his discomfort when their ideologies are discussed.
In Session 6, Robbie returns to Mia Toko and discovers Hugo smoking a cigarette. Fully aware of Hugo and Dimitri's participation in the District 16 warehouse raid, Robbie confronts Hugo about his actions. Despite previous discussions about finding diplomatic solutions to unite Jaoren and humans, Hugo's involvement in an act that led to the death of twenty people surprises Robbie. The conversation concludes with Hugo expressing his belief that his actions will bring about change, to which Robbie responds with a hopeful acknowledgment, stating that he wishes Hugo's optimism proves true.
In Session 8, Robbie is seen sitting with Gretel, enjoying their day off. When Hugo approaches them, he is welcomed with a smile. As they chat, it is revealed that Robbie has known Gretel for five years and was introduced to Mia Toko by Joseph Gelichic. When Hugo inquires about Robbie's role in the cafe, there's a moment of hesitation before Gretel decides to reveal that both Simon Foster and Robbie act as enforcers, guarding the cafe against potential Jaoren threats. When Hugo asks if that is a potential path for him, Robbie claims that Hugo is still too underdeveloped for such a role.
