Fifty-Seventh Journal Entry

[puzzledprof]

[The sounds being recorded by the communicator are very strange indeed. He's sniffling, and his breath is being choked through grit teeth. What's wrong with him?]

Discedo.... [His voice wavers, and suddenly the cause for Layton's strange breathing becomes obvious. He's been crying, and he's trying his best not to start again.]Your timing is

Oh! You're the nice pro-fess-ser from a while ago!

...Are you okay?

[puzzledprof]

[...Pearly gets a sad smile. Not that she can see it.]

I'm glad you remember me.

I'll be alright.

sob, I just finished Unwound Future a while ago too

[pearly_pearls]

Really? You sound sad...

I hope you feel better soon.

;; it is so saaaad

[puzzledprof]

I'll be alright. [It's almost become a mantra by now.]

But thank you.

I CRIED SO MUCH it should be illegal to make something that sad

[pearly_pearls]

If there's anything that I can do, you can always ask! I-I don't like seeing anyone sad like Mystic Maya was...

they're making more games but they're PREQUELS ;_;

[puzzledprof]

That's very sweet of you, but no, I'll be alright.

at least we're getting games at all, though yeah, I'd like sequels better ;~;

[pearly_pearls]

Okay... [She's not sure what else to say, so she simply gives a smile and leans over to shut off the video on her end.]

As long as they keep the quality up they can make as many as they want as far as I'm concerned :V;;

[puzzledprof]

Are you alright, yourself? [Perhaps he could get his mind off of... that.]

Well they've been getting better every time, I think~

[pearly_pearls]

[Oh whoops the professor said something else] Yes, of course!

Miss Ema came back yesterday, actually! And I think she still remembers everything from the last time she was here.

yup~

[puzzledprof]

Is Miss Ema your friend?

[pearly_pearls]

Yes! She's a detective, and she helped me when I first got here.

[puzzledprof]

It's good to have someone you can count on here. [Normally he'd sound happy about something like that, but sadness doesn't go away that easily, even if he covers it up -- the best he can manage is polite neutrality.]

also I just wanted to check, is Claire the cat still there?

[pearly_pearls]

I'm glad that there's a lot of people I know here. Is there anyone you know from where you came from?

yup, casa de meryl took care of her in Layton's absence.

[puzzledprof]

Not anymore. Luke's gone home.

\o/ also I'm sorry I'm being so totally evil to Layton

[pearly_pearls]

Luke...? He had a blue hat, right? I don't think I talked to him...

Oh! I just remembered something! How's Claire? I haven't seen her for a while!

lol

[puzzledprof]

Yes, he --

[At the word "Claire", Layton makes a choking sound and falls silent for a while. Just when it seems the communicator will time out --]

Y-you mean the cat, don't you?
