[He's a pretty sharp dude, but he's still from Ancient Fantasy China where the weirdest shit that happens is related to multiple worlds rather than timelines. He's very visibly mentally chewing on this new information.]
So what you're saying, then, is that in some other time - multiple other times, maybe? - the same situation played out to different ends, and we're just one in a set going through the same motions? Is that it - something like that?
It's entirely possible based on what happened. Maybe it's part of the same timeline, maybe it's not. But what we know for sure is that this happened before and the set-up is exactly the same as what happened previously. It's our job to change what went wrong in the middle.
I'd rather not be down to twelve of us by the time we hit the four week mark.
So it seems. [Shrug! This is great! Really!] We need to start locating more of the logs and records from the first group. We had an audio log, and Dick and Aizawa found a journal when they broke into the electric room. It's not hard to think they're out there.
Sounds like more than a few people are working on breaking into more rooms to see what else can be found, at least.
[Though he's a little concerned about where they might turn to after they run out of rooms to break into... He's not expecting to find Everything they need by kicking doors down.]
As long as I can talk to all of those people, we might be able to connections fast enough to be one step ahead. I know of a few who've mentioned it, but not everyone.
Much! I'd like to think we've at least got a decent handle on that, probably.
[Probably... BUT ANYWAY, speaking of staying alive:]
I should probably go pay our dear new friend a visit before the night gets any later. Don't want to risk it becoming more powerful in the early morning hours, you know?
[Said with a laugh... IT'S FINE he doesn't actually think the demon will become More Powerful. He also isn't anticipating its escape from the exorcism though SO LIKE, THERE'S THAT.
But he'll push himself up from the couch! Goodbye, alcohol... He'll come back for you eventually.]

That doesn't surprise me. As long as they know what they're doing, it should be fine.
no subject
Do any of us really know what we're doing?
[He says this in a light and amused tone but just wait until he fuckin gets through Tuesday evening's fiasco.]
no subject
...okay, so long as they know how to stay alive. Is that better?
