In the office, Amrita notices that Takashi seems to be looking for something around his desk. Later in the day, June enters the office and places a book on the shared bookshelf, oblivious to the fact that Takashi has been searching for that very book since morning. If Takashi steps out for a break and during his absence, Kofi picks up the book from the shelf, skims through it, then takes it to his own desk, what will Takashi think when he returns, and why? Respond very briefly.
When Takashi returns from his break and finds the book missing from the bookshelf, he will likely think that the book is still lost and might assume it hasn't been returned yet. His assumption will be based on the fact that he wasn't there when June placed the book back onto the shelf, and therefore he has no knowledge of the book being returned. Additionally, since Takashi is unaware of Kofi's actions, he does not know that Kofi has the book now. Takashi's search for the book was interrupted by his break, so without new information indicating otherwise, he will continue to believe the book is lost due to his absence during the relevant events.
