[Puzzle 007]

Does anybody know a way to make yourself stop missing home so much?

[Gold's message got him thinking about his mom, and everyone else he wishes he could see again.]

Try to focus on the positive things. Don't let them make you feel lonely. You should be proud of them.

You don't want to go home?

Of course I do. I've been away from home for a long time now, so I miss it a lot, but it doesn't help anyone if I'm sad about it all the time.

You're probably right.

[He's just a bit lonely. And a bit hungry for an adventure like the ones he has with Layton.

And a bit hungry, too.]

I know it's not easy, but you should think about the good things, not the bad ones. Maybe try doing something that makes you happy?

I could try.

[Hmm time for some quick thinking.]

How many nines are there from one to one hundred?

[...well, that's not a random question or anything! But Claude knows this kid probably needs some cheering up, so he decides to just go with it.]

Um, let's see... [He pauses to think about it. Hmm...] There's ten nines, right?

Nope! Try again! It might help to count the numbers with nines out loud.

Oh. Okay. [He pauses again, though he doesn't end up counting aloud. If that was wrong, then there has to be something else...] Wait. You mean the number nine by itself, don't you? In that case, there's just one.

If I meant how many nines by itself, it wouldn't be a very fun puzzle.

How about writing them down?

Oh! I see what I did now. [The feed cuts off for a bit as he turns the page in his journal to scribble them down. After a minute or two, it comes back on for him to add—] There's twenty!

You got it!

Did the numbers that start with 9 trip you up?

Yep! I completely forgot about them! I can't believe I did that.
