Motel receptionist

"The pleasure was all mine."

The motel receptionist is a minor character in Heavy Rain. He works at the front desk of the Cross Road Motel. He has a nasal voice and is often seen opening and closing his mouth as if chewing on something.

Madison Paige meets the motel receptionist when her chronic insomnia and nightmares prevent her from sleeping in her apartment. He steps out of the office restroom when she rings the bell and annoys her with his idiosyncrasies and overly friendly manner of speaking, calling her "sweetheart" and saying what a pleasure it was to serve her as he watches her walk away. Later, when Carter Blake and the police surround the motel, the receptionist tells Madison that they've tracked down the Origami Killer (or more accurately, Ethan Mars, whom they still believe to be the Origami Killer) and that he recognized the killer's face from when he filled in the register.

Trivia

 * The motel receptionist's mouth movements may be symptoms of oromandibular dystonia.
 * When talking to Madison in "On the Loose," the motel receptionist states that the Origami Killer registered at the motel under a false name. However, he has no way of knowing the killer's real name, making this statement nonsensical.
