Interdimensionality, in Reiji's experience, does not decrease the likelihood of Leo Akaba's involvement in the slightest. Just the opposite; it all but guarantees it.
Even if the name didn't ring a bell, there's a chance another name will. But it's not question he wants to pursue too aggressively, lest word get back up through whatever chain of command or lateral grapevine leads back to the Professor's ear. Not yet, anyway.
So instead of answering, he waits, stone-faced. If he's patient, she will eventually fill the silence--and hopefully give him enough information to act on. Most people eventually do.
