[Puzzle 007]

[hisapprentice]

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.]

You're homesick? I'm sorry, I don't have much in the way of suggestions... but making new friends helps a little, I think?

[magentarific]

It never really goes away. You just have to remember that it's still out there and don't give up on getting back. Even if it seems impossible.

[voice]

[mirrorblade]

Do you have anything around that reminds you of home? I think things like that help out a lot.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

I've made a few friends. But...this place keeps making me do things I don't want to do. They might not stay my friends for much longer.

voice;

[hisapprentice]

I don't think it's impossible! [I CAN SOLVE THIS SOMEHOW.] It's just taking a really long time.

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

Well, I have a few things...but it's lonely to look at them.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

[Oh poor kid. She just wants to give him a hug.]

Your friends wouldn't do that. Everyone here is in the same boat.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

I don't know. Some of the things were pretty awful.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

Well, if I've learned anything about this place, sometimes that happens with the experiments. But it's important to remember that that's not you. Especially if you feel bad about it, it's not!

voice;

[magentarific]

Of course it's not impossible! What have you tried to get back so far?

[voice]

[mirrorblade]

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

I've found that keeping yourself preoccupied helps somewhat--Do you have any hobbies you enjoy? Who knows, they might get your mind off of things.

[ Voice ]

[hisapprentice]

I like solving puzzles. That's almost all I did at home when I traveled with Professor Layton.

...Hey. Didn't you say you knew him?

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

You don't want to go home?

voice;

[hisapprentice]

Uhh...well...

[Pout. Sigh.] Not very much at all.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

I suppose...that's probably right.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

Darn right, it's right!

Tell me your name, kid. Let's be friends, too!

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

Oh, uh, I'm Luke. Luke Triton.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

Well I'm Estelle Bright! It's nice to meet you, Luke. I live not too far from the battle dome. We recently moved into the second house from the end, near community housing 3. You can always come find me if you want to hang out.

[voice]

[theoniongirl]

Like others have said, making friends here helps. But knowing that they're waiting for us and will be safe and sound when we get back helps me, too.

voice;

[magentarific]

Don't worry, I'm not judging you. I was trying to see if I could eliminate some possibilities so the SSS doesn't try things that have already been tested. We'll get closer to the answer if we already know what doesn't work.

[ Voice ]

[lastsmoke]

Puzzles, huh? Can't say I'm all that good with them, but maybe there's a way to do them here, as well?

Ahh, I did, but. Turns out it was just this place messing with my head.

[Voice]

[hisapprentice]

It's nice to meet you too, Miss Bright.

[Hanging out with a lady who sounds older than him would feel a little strange...]

voice;

[hisapprentice]

What's the "S S S"?

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

[And to think, if this had happened to him a month or so from now, Layton wouldn't even know he was missing.]

I suppose. But if you make friends here...you have to leave them behind.
