Disclaimer: I don't own the Professor Layton Series -_- Who would have figured?
Set after the events of Unwound Future.
-A Way to You Again- (Professor Layton's POV)
My eyes drifted up toward the hazy mist hanging around the street lights of this barren broadway. All of London was asleep by now... The world was saved again... All was just as it should be... I stood like the hero overseeing the people he'd once again protected. Yes even at great cost to himself...
But the cost was never something a gentleman would count... No all that mattered was the sweet peaceful silence of safety that lingered in the night air. Time was constant they say... Never stopping, always flowing forward no matter the loss...no matter...
But the one thing no one realized about time is that it was not truly cruel. Some men may be...but time never gave into such ill thoughts as evil or revenge. No time was simply a current flowing contentiously. And we were always adrift in it's river. But so many men were bent on thrashing against the waves...on creating ripples in the sea they felt lost in...
Though it's blamed for destroying and taking away so many loved things, time was never truly to blame. No...time is not cruel... If we would just surrender to time... If we would just let the water cover over our heads...then yes, I'm most sure we could feel truly free...
Tipping my hat to a lone passerby I smiled gently. Yes half to him...half to myself... Free to at last...swim within it's graceful current...
Yes...swim...
Be it forward...or...
Back...
FIN
