these notes are from before reading his update and only looking at information from before that:
stuff ive edited in after reading the update will be in italics

Robin seems to heavily beleive himself as innocent as shown time and time again, he also seems to put a decent amount of faith in the warden which makes me think hes very trusting towards authority or has had "good" experiences with authority in the past
Robin- "Trying to escape are you? How hastily do you not trust the warden's judgment?"
Eleanor - “How about you then, what do you predict your verdict to be?"
Robin - "Me? Anything other than innocent is out of the question."
Robin: I have nothing to hide. I trust your judgment.”
Due to this I also think his crime was one of justice or vindication against someone, he is conflicted about it afterwards though
The world is better off without you in it SO WHY?! SO WHY?!
His profile also depicts the phrase "wanted dead or alive" so he maybe sees himself as some kind of martyr or rebel?
though rebel might not be right, like I said he seems quite passive towards the prison and agreeable of the prison rules, and only thing hes doing "wrong" is being convinced that he is right
Full of youthful energy and pride he comes off as a troublemaker and defiant but is conversely rather principled and reverent of the prisons rules aside from his one offence but he's agreeable otherwise
this makes me think rather than killing someone out of justice because they were abusing their power or being cruel. he killed someone due to not following his or someone elses rules.

He likes bothering elanour someone who is grumpy and standoffish rather than others who are more friendly. in this comic he also consistnely wins against her in rock paper sciccors it makes me think he hangs around her because he feels superior in some sense, or he wants her to be a kind of rival to him.

Thumbnail:

In robins thumbnail he is holding a gashapon which has a little person inside. Gashapon are from gacha machines as we know,
so I think whoever this person is whether it be himself, his victim or another person. this person was a blind box pull, it was a chance encounter or a "luck of the draw"
in the case of this person being his victim, it makes me think he picked someone random or happened appon a person who he didn't have a prior connection to, and viewed them as a "lucky prize" and maybe then befriending them, or a person to enact his justice on
in the case of this person being himself, it implies he seems himself as luck of the draw, he was born on this planet by chance, everything surrounding him is by chance. and maybe something happened (like idk, being picked by an authority figure) was by chance
He feels tricked in a sense by this
The necklace he's wearing, the beads to me look like planet earth, I'm not sure what to make of it
They show up again here, I wonder if it represents his School friends influence over him? (I talk about them later)

After reading update:
---
Robin struggles with social connection due to his eagerness and outgoingness. as well as his chattiness
Robin: “yep! Is that a bad thing? Everyone back home goes on about how I’m over eager- so I can try harder to be late!”
Kokoro:“You’re certainly…forthcoming…”
Robin: “Umm why wouldn’t I be?!”
Robin: “I doubt you’ve heard about this warden but 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 where hosting a little game of old maid at the kitchen table and I saw that and asked to join , you know to be social and all and they told me they’d been playing for a few hooourrrsss and everyone was tireedddd and I could play next time and I’m fine with this.”
Robin:“I can wait. I’m patient but when I passed by to get a snack I saw Elly sitting with them?!”
Robin: “I mean it makes you wonder”
I was born with a heart that wouldn’t work right
his illness also caused him to suffer socially because he only got to interact with others after they had formed groups and he felt like a outsider. Which then made him more eager to please, then avoided more by others, I assume this was a cycle that snowballed
His heart could also refer to him being unable to form social bonds.
This most likely caused him to feel excluded by others and pushed him to join the vigilante group mentioned later, especially since it was run by his school friend, he could have felt that he needed to do as this friend asked because they are the only person he is close with.
Also authority because with authority there is no requirement for emotional connection and it's also a easy way via to gain emotional connection with someone
---
His voice drama title is Perishism which i think is a play on parasitism? Perish being "death" or dissapearance
Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives (at least some of the time) on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm,[1] and is adapted structurally to this way of life.[2]
This also reminds me of authority and power dynamics. the strong/authority provide for the weak, in some cases abusing their power or hurting the weak but in the end they are still providing for the weak no? even if power dynamics are inherently harmful in some way or another, "isnt it okay since it provides?"
And someone who can't connect with people on a equal level surely would be more safe and comfortable in power dynamics yeah?
back to authority
Robin: “That's hardly a way to greet someone!
Robin: Especially since I’ve been waiting ever so patiently~”
Robin seems to expect some kind of reward from the authority figure (kokoro in this case) for behaving. and passive agressivly suggesting its rude of the authority figure not to reconise this
Robin: “Penny had to spin this whole story about cutting her hand while cooking with Val to get the rabbit to bring in some plasters and a first aid kit , she had to cut her own finger on her uniform buckle to convince it without saying the full story. She didn’t want to do Elly in.”
Robin! “I almost did but thought better of it. It would be too bad if something happened to her”
^ interesting that you are telling this to the authority who works alongside said rabbit, like you are tattling or not thinking. I dont have any other notes on this I just thought it was intersting. are you not doing elly in simply by saying this to the warden?
---
Robin: “To put it in lay man’s terms , I was part of a vigilante group. The guy who ran it was my school friend so I got roped in naturally. Crazy a guy so young I know! Would have been better off studying for his end of exams or drivers test! Ha-!”
Robin: “I mean- To dig himself such a deep hole and have the energy to dig a few more ...woah…the commitment is admirable “
he maybe turned on his friend in the end? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or geniune admiration. I dont think he turned on the friend though.
In his "justice group"
there was most likely a power dynamic at play, speicifcally with his school friend being the leader and Robin conformed to this power dynamic. I think his school friend is the authority that Robin respected is what im trying to say
and Robin worked as the friends loyal sidekick or a "cog in the machine"
What are you? 0005 - "a cog"
Robin: “some wife found out her husband was cheating on her and killed him and the kids. I suppose those deaths probably fall on my shoulders because of some causality nonsense but really the bomb was always under the table it was always going to go off I just tripped early on accident.”
Robin thinks this is his "crime" but I don't think it is, I dont see how this could possibly be robin's fault and to a degree that would land him here... this also just doesn't feel right, it feels a bit outlandish that this is robins crime while the other prisoners so far seem to have more down to earth crimes that involve a person they have interacted with before, so the idea of robins murder being a random guy and kids... it doesn't feel right so I dont think this is his murder
Robin: “Proven criminals mind you! There was this one time- Probably the one that landed me here.
He also implies there are other times that could count as his crime
Speaking of feeling outlandish; robin gives me the vibe of someone who exaggerates the truth or doesn't portray things accurately
Robin: “I’ll make up some crap excuse like I got stuck in traffic or there was construction on the state highway. 0002 and 0001 crashed into each other in the hallway and I couldn’t get past the resulting fire and explosion!!!! Booooommmm! Boooom! Bang! What do you think?”
robin: “Once- you’re going to laugh at this. She was pissed off after trying to smash down soooo many walls- and not finding anyone that even dented. She threw a chair at one and it bounced off and hit her!”
He admits to making things up and later when hes telling a story he keeps going on and on and on, like I said i have no proof for this other than him admitting it and some of the things he says sounding outlandish, his speech patterns simply remind me of someone who I knew who was a chronic liar/exaggerator.
with the way he goes on and on its like he forgets and just keeps talking for the sake of the story
I think it would make sense considering his illness, he probably seeks excitement to combat the boredom of hospital trips
anyway;
Robin: “I don’t like those types. They are too self obsessed. Raging on and on about how this or that’s unfair but doing nothing about anything in the end. They just want a big villain to fight against so they can feel like they’re justified in acting however they wish.”
Robin: “heh you heard me right. I wouldn’t get into the dark gritty details- it wasn’t really my department anyway but it let scummy people fake “business trips” to go and cheat on their partners! How corrupt is that?”
Robin: “some wife found out her husband was cheating on her and killed him and the kids. I suppose those deaths probably fall on my shoulders because of some causality nonsense but really the bomb was always under the table it was always going to go off I just tripped early on accident.”
It felt good to know someone hurt like I had-!
That I could make someone hurt like that-!
It felt so lonely knowing I couldn’t hope for anything more then keeping what I had
Like the world was a table piled with cakes and sweets and surgery delights
And I was told I had to sit and watch everyone else eat
It was so screwed up
Sounds a bit familar,
Back to his school friend!
I believe his cat plush in his extraction represents his school friend, Robin felt so lucky getting cat plush as his friend!
I think this is also what the thumbnail is representing. School friend is a prize won by Robin out of pure luck
The cat is described as a ultra rare, so I wonder if school friend was potentially quite popular? Or had something that made them very special in some way. It could also be simply that Robin views any friend as ultra rare
So it wasn’t so scary
They told me if he was here I could take it, they told me if he did first it wouldn’t be so scary
and you would always be waiting for me when it was over
It made me feel lucky
Robin follows his school friends lead and feels safe due to it. If his friend does this thing than he can too! Even if it scares him if they can do it... So should he
A thought that crosses my mind was Robin met his school friend in the hospital due to both having illnesses and thats why his friend is "ultra rare" because its someone like him! I don't think this is the case since school friend is well, school friend, but it crossed my mind
The ticket has the number 909 on it, 909 can be referred to as a angel number and represents spiritual guidance or a "guardian angel" as well as growth/change. I think this is how Robin views school friend.
Even though my toy was so small
you said they could be friends
That they could go on adventures together
and if mine got tired he could just catch a ride on the shoulder of your’s
The view was very nice from up there
You said you were lucky because you met me
I believed it
Don't have any notes but I think it relates to the previous point:
at the end of his voice drama robin says
Robin: “If I didn’t do something.”
Kokoro: “…”
Robin:“I was going to die.”
Kokoro: “!-“
Robin:“And he was going to get away with it,”
his crime location was some kind of rooftop, its obvious he viewed his victim as evil and dangerous so I assume there had been some kind of confrontation
As for the identity of his victim, I think it was one of these options:
A. Someone in his vigilante group who "betrayed" the group in some way
B. school friend. They had a fight because one viewed the other as not following the groups rules correctly maybe? I think Robin viewed school friend as maybe having a kind of "fall from grace" but still respects the person school friend was before
C. Third party, in his extraction Robin could be talking about someone else and it wasnt actually about school friend. And Robin betrayed this third party in favour of school friend and vigilante group
To me it looks like Robin is threatening his victim, or Robin chased them down.
I'm not sure what to make of his crime overall, maybe in the morning I can come up with something
Overall I think he killed someone in a attempt to bring justice because the victim didn't follow the rules of his group.

Lily is lolly cake because it’s associated with children/childhood and is a small sweet treat. Lolly cake usually has green (val) yellow (aubrie) pink (penny) and white (koko) marshmallows which matches the people lily is closest to in the prison.
(It’s like this cake circle with marshmellows in it and coconut sprinkled on top)
Valerie is pāua on chips because it looks gross but it’s actually so good!!! It seems weird and less refined then lily’s lolly cake but is an actual meal not just a sweet short dessert and most people who get past the initial knee jerk dislike end up enjoying it from my experience (also it looks green in some lighting and colours are weirdly important to me in these assignments)
(Sea snail + chips)
[if you’ve ever seen one of these shells thats a Pāua! Or well…was]
Penny is Pavlova because its cute and is basically a sweet bass you can put any fruit and creams and other things on
( a meringue you make shaped like a cake and put things on. traditionally wiped cream some time of fruit like strawberries and kiwi fruit and then you add chocolate flakes! often eaten around Christmas time or at big family meals/dinner parties)
Aubrie is weatbix because I always had to do those stupid weetbix eating competitions and I think having to eat dull tasteless weetbix till your mouth goes dry and you cough them back up again is a good metaphor for his struggle. Also colour / feeling is right!
(Layers of wheat you eat in bars and as a cereal)
Connor is jaffas because writing for him makes me want to throw him down Baldwin Street!!! But also because they are red and uniform and kinda have a hidden side to them (and spoiler reason)
(Hard shell with orange flavoured chocolate middle kinda like eating an M&M but harder and a different shape)
Robin is jet planes because they are kinda immature and I remember them being used alot as rewards! They are sweet and colourful and remind me alot of the tone robins t1 update will have (hopefully…when I manage to re-tool it…ugh)
(Gummy plane)
Eleanor is L&P because it’s sour and you either love or hate it. It’s really old and established.
(Lemon soft drink) (tastes terrible but some people like it for some reason ig/silly)
Koko is strawberry lamingtons and the other warden is chocolate lamingtons.
(Sponge cube with thin layer of icing and coconut)
0001 “forgiving someone over and over is what it means to truly care about another person right? so yes I do!"
0001 “yes…you’re not getting anything out of me”
0002 “nope <3”
0003 “I-I urm...I think I- want...to be given a second chance…so I must believe in them”
0004 “I do believe in second chances on paper but I also can’t help but see that the people who get them usually don’t deserve them and the ones who do don’t get them…it’s rather tragic to think about“
0005 “seconds? Eh- I guess I can back that..buuut when you start getting to 3rds and 6ths it gets excessive. Just guillotine them at that point ha- ha”
0006 “No. People can’t change. Every time it seems like they do it’s just the same problem presenting itself differently. Second chances are nothing but asking to be hurt again.”
Do you believe what is meant for you will never miss you?
I’m assuming this is in relation to the quote “What's meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me” and I will also be assuming that all the characters know this quote when I don’t think any of them would probably have run into it ^^;
0001 “I think so! If I didn’t truly deserve something then I wouldn’t get it I know that's true and if I did then I would most definitely! It was meant to be! I like thinking that way!”
0001 “sounds made up to me. There are plenty of things I should’ve got that I didn’t…I don’t believe for a second that the hand I got is “what I deserved” people who say that stuff are- …hmpth not you’d ever understand…”
0002 “mmm I guess I can agree with the base sentiment but these philosophical discussions are way over my head”
0003 “oh…I hope not“
0004 “sorry if this is presumptuous but wouldn’t that imply the existence of a higher power planning our lives? I want to believe that god has a plan for everyone so yes I think that I got everything I was meant to have! it's destiny"
0005 “people get what they deserve. Yeah I can get behind that all the opportunities that I missed out on were just there to mould me into the person I am today!”
0006 “just sounds like a bunch of whinny fools trying to shift the blame why they didn't get what they wanted"
What would you like people to remember you for?
0001 “I want to have been a good daughter. I hope I’ll be remembered for that!”
0001 “What kind of question is that?! Ugh you make it sound like we’ll never get home…like we’re already dead! Remembered huh? I don’t care what for , just that this one person remembers me.”
0002 “Stopping someone from hurting others and maybe for having a nice smile”
0003 “I want people to think I was nice to talk to...”
0004 “I want to be remembered as an inspiration. though that's asking quite a lot isn't it?”
