[Huzzah! Your Prime Minister has returned to life! He's currently shakily getting to his feet in the lobby, because being dead for ten days leaves you feeling a little disorientated. With him, is attached a note from the Dressing Room itself in regards to the winners of our game of Cluedo.

It reads as follows:

"Dear Residents of the Dressing Room,

Following our game of Cluedo, we have three winners, all of whom guessed at least in the right area and were close enough to merit a reward; Snakes and Ladders, Scrabble, and Claire. Twister will also be gifted due to being such a cooperative game piece.

Those winners will be gifted one wish, to be made at any point before the end of the month. As a penalty, those who guessed incorrectly or failed to offer a guess are to have one thing that's most precious to them taken away, to be returned at the end of the month. Thank you for playing, and congratulations to the winners.

The Dressing Room"

I'm sure that you can all either celebrate your correct guesses or mourn for your losses. If you're feeling kind then you could also welcome Twister back to life.]

[...she snorts.]

You'd be with him a lot.

Not that I mind his company, of course.

To the exclusion of all else?

That's what he would have wished for, you know.

I must confess that as much as I do like the boy, that is something that I could not live with.

...as things are, I don't know how much longer I can keep him functioning like this, Layton. He's... helping people is hardly my area.

I know. And I'm sorry that this situation has been forced on you. Of course I want to help him, but I doubt that I will be able to give him the answer that he wants.

...if anyone could take on the Dressing Room and its powers, it'd be you.

You appeal to my ego. After these ten days I must confess that I feel I know more about the Dressing Room than I did before. But, however, I will handle it with caution all the same.

Even if I didn't wish against Hendel, I would not wish to be cut off from society with Clive, though.

[Oh, a game? Messing with a Layton? Even after all this time, Descole can do that easily enough.]

There's a third option, you know. Is it really escaping you, when it's so obvious?

Would you care to elaborate? Since apparently you feel that my genius does not match your own.

You know him so well; can't you tell what would help the most?

Stop teasing, girl.

[She sighs a little.]

Use your wish to make him better.

But that would change who Clive is...

If you treat a mental illness, you change the person. Does that mean you should just let them stay that way?

No, you're right, of course...
