"Well, I'm almost certain it wasn't your cat who answered the intercom, so..." Ronin smiles sheepishly and shrugs his shoulders, putting it down to his ears playing tricks on him. As all skeptics do, when the pile of evidence begins to stack up, there's no excuse at first but to double the fuck down on reasonable explanations. He clears his throat and adjusts his bike helmet under his arm, about to excuse himself when Remi pipes up again - and his remark is enough to have Ronin flushing all the way to the tips of his ears.
"Yeah, well - the truth hurts sometimes?" He says, a clumsy injection of humour and a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. He shakes his head a bit helplessly, unable to reconcile everything that's happened leading up to this meeting with the undeniable strangeness that drapes itself around Remi and his apartment like dense fog.
As the other man holds up his entirely innocuous phone, though, at least Ronin can try for something solid and real. Slipping his own cell out of his pocket, he unlocks it, loads his calls and messages and turns the screen to show Remi. "This isn't your number...?"
A beat later and he's trying to recover, regardless of the response. "So you definitely don't want to come and finish the show with us?"

when it's just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die
