Professor Layton Dressing Room

[Hendel is in the lobby to make an announcement.

She moves fast on these things, after all.]

Given the death of my double and the fact that he has yet to return, we have something of a conundrum. In times like this, we need a leader more than ever, and yet due to some unknown hand we're without one now.

And so as the person who received the second-most votes within the election, I willl be taking control of this place until at least such time as his return, if he does indeed return to us. If, as I'm sure we all hope, Twister is returned to the world of the living at some point in the future, we can look then at how to proceed, because after all it's entirely possible that after such a traumatic event as his own death, he may not want to continue his rule. If that's the case, though, rest assured that I will be happy to remain your leader.

[Hendel's sitting on a chair in the lobby, the perfect picture of calm. Anyone passing by, though, is going to feel distinctly not calm. There's a solution to that, though - along with the sudden onset of anxiety, there's the feeling that spending some time with Hendel here is exactly what they need to calm themselves down.

Someone really shouldn't be allowed mood-altering powers.]
