During a surprise birthday party, Akira goes into a room to hide before the guest of honor, Youssef, arrives. While in the room, Akira sees Layla placing Youssef's present, a painting, in the closet. A little while later, Haruto enters the room to get extra chairs but does not notice the gift in the closet. After Haruto exits, Layla moves the present from the closet to under a large table in the room and then leaves. When Youssef enters the room, he is surprised and delighted by his friends. Akira, seeing Youssef's happiness, wonders about something and asks Haruto if he knows where the present is hidden. What does Haruto believe about the location of the present? Respond very briefly.
Haruto believes that the present is still in the closet because that was its location when he last was aware of it. Since he did not observe Layla move the present to under the table and was not informed of the change by anyone, his knowledge of the present's location is outdated, and he has no reason to update his belief about its placement. Thus, when Akira asks about the present's location, Haruto's response would be based on his last known information, which is that the present is in the closet.
