PROFESSOR LAYTON FANDOM!
I HUMBLY COME TO YOU AFTER YEARS OF DORMANT hyperfixation INTEREST IN THE GAMES TO PRESENT YOU AN IDEA
SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT
Just how chaotic do we think the few hours post UF’s ending were? How many hours were Luke, Layton, and Flora questioned by the police? How long until they were able to contact people to let them know they were okay?
I don’t doubt that Clark and Brenda were called almost immediately to inform them that Luke was okay, but, considering the prequel trilogy, what about the literal swarm of people who would’ve seen the destruction on TV, known immediately that Layton would be at the center of it, and frantically called asking about him?
How long did Layton’s phone ring before he was able to retreat to his flat? How long did the Stansbury gang stare at the destruction on the tv, waiting for something other than their friend’s answering machine? How long did Hershel’s parents huddle over a phone, desperate to hear their boy’s voice and know that he was okay? What did Emmy think, seeing the chaos of London and knowing far too well that the Professor would be involved? What about Desmond, who already has almost lost his brother what- twice now?
True gentleman or not, hours of questioning on top of the events of UF’s ending will take everything out of a person. I wouldn’t be shocked if the remaining trio made it back to Hershel’s flat and just. Crashed. Phone ringing and all. What would everyone, who’s no doubt heard/experienced what our dear Professor has gone through, think in that moment?
How long would it take for impromptu roadtrip plans to be made and executed? How many people showed up at Hershel’s doorstep in a frenzy over the next 48 hours?
How many people did Layton scare half to death by being so undoubtedly involved in the events of Unwound Future?
