I figure he left because of work. For all that his sponsors did support and pay for the office while he searched for Gene, unless that office was meant to be permanent, sooner or later, he would leave. And paying for such an empty office in Shibuya is bound to be extremely expensive. *shrug*
*laughs* Naru's on the theoretical research side. How many established researchers do you know of that actually do data gathering? That's tech work. Usually researchers analyse data and come up with theories to explain the data and then work on proving or disproving the theories. (Newer non-established researchers or those with smaller budgets may do some lab work themselves, but once they're established and have full labs, I'd expect them to be in their offices going over data or writing most of the time.) If the data's going to vary between tech A and tech B doing the measuring despite both techs being properly trained, it suggests that the data may not be particularly reliable and thus not necessarily valuable/valid in the first place. I can't see Naru being particularly interested in that sort of unreliable data. Remember, part of research is also luck--luck in getting key, significant data.
