[Well, he's put it off for as long as he conceivably can. Luke pulls open his journal and speaks, not bothering with the business of filtering anything.]
I'm going to- [This is much harder than he thought, even after all the practice.] To...to move house, in with Firo and Seto. S-so...um, this house will be-
[Come on, Luke, you're nearing fifteen and this is not the time and a true gentleman never lets his most painful emotions show in public this way.]
House five is going to be empty. After today.
[With Layton's, Maiza's, and Czeslaw's stuff gone, he doesn't even have a lot to pack. It keeps him out of school for the day, though. Maybe saying all that could serve as enough of an apology to Professor Sage and Toph and everybody.
After a while, in the true and final emptiness of the house, he sits for a while in the kitchen, opening the journal again to write about something that has, historically, made him feel better; this time, there's a lot of melancholy in with the entertainment.]

I never said anything about the cycle part of the clue not being any good!
[And that was when she realized that teasing at the answer was way more fun than just waiting for him to solve it. ...Even if the puzzle itself was more than a little obtuse.]
