Mirror Layton comes back from the kitchen to find Layton and Luke sitting on the couch.

Oh, it seems you already met my little brother – says Layton M – He's so curious.

No need to worry – says Layton – Curious young people are the future of our society if we want to advance in the future.

Professor Layton was talking about his adventures – says Luke - All of them are really interesting, and he's very good at puzzles! He told me he can teach me about archeology and puzzles.

Layton mirror stares at Layton.

Oh really? It seems my double is really good at these things. But I don't understand why he has to be older than me, hahaha.

This is strange for me too – answers Layton – I never thought my double would be younger than me. This makes me think about this mirror being deformed.

Deformed? – Asks Luke. Layton M looks at him, and then at Layton.

Yes, deformed. What happens when a mirror is deformed? – Ask Layton. Luke looks at him, and after think a bit, answers – The image will be distorted.

Exactly – Says Layton – This world is a mirror, but deformed. That's why our doubles are not exactly as we expect. For example, I met Luke's double, and he's a little kid, not more than 10 years old. But Luke is around 17 years old. Also, you, my double, look around 20, younger than me.

Layton stands up, walking a bit trough the room. Both, Layton M and Luke, look at him. Layton is studying the environment of the house. The style is like the one in his London, but it seems there's something different. There are some objects that he doesn't know what are they.

It seems we have a mystery here – Says Layton, looking back at them – and looks like it'll be difficult to solve.

I'll help – Says Layton M, while he stands up – I was studying about this mirror world, so I can give you the information you'll need.

Layton nods, and then looks at Luke. Luke, who's looking at his brother, looks back at him after a bit. Layton smiles, and readjusts his hat. Luke is surprised, and then imitates the gesture, but without knowing why.

I'll keep investigating. As soon as I have something new, I'll come here to tell you about it – Says Layton, going to the main door. Layton M follows him to the main door too.

Ok, thank you Professor Layton – Says Layton M – I'll search for information too. Every time you come here I'll try to have new things for you.

After says goodbye with his hat, Layton leaves the house and comes back with mirror Luke, who's waiting behind the tree. Looks at him and asks - How it was?

Good enough for now – Answers Layton – Luke is in good hands, but he doesn't remember anything of me. I must solve this mystery and go back to London. Like Luke, lot of people are stuck in this mirror world without their original memories, or bodies. Come, let's go to the library.

What do you want from this place? Surely the history behind the real London is nearly like the history of this world – Says Luke M, following him.

I know – Answers Layton – But there have to be something different from our world. This difference could be a clue for our investigation. And may be help us to find the pieces of the big mirror.

If you say so – Says Luke M, looking at the ground while he's walking.

After a bit, they arrive at the library, not so far from where Layton M lives. The library is really big outside, but inside is an amazing space of culture and stories. Layton walks trough the shelves, looking for history books. He finds lot of books he already know from his world.

But I don't know a thing about this one – Says, taking a strange book with garnet covers – Let's see.

With the book, sits on a chair with a desk in front of him. Leaves the book over the desk and opens it. In the first page there's a strange sentence.

"A mirror will always show the truth, even if it's broken"

What a strange sentence…but it's true – Turns the page and starts to read.

Meanwhile, Luke M is looking for some books too. Even if is a long time since he came into this world, he never visited so much this place. He never found a reason to enter here. Maybe he was wrong all the time?

It seems I have to trust him until we get the pieces we need… - says for himself – But how many time I'll be able to hold this shape? – says, looking at his own hands – I must end this before everyone gets lost…

Looks at Layton, who's still reading the book. Curious, goes with him and tries to see what he is reading.

Oh, Luke, you're here. I think you must read this – says, giving the book to him.

Oh, hum…sure – answers Luke M, taking the book. Sits on a chair near Layton, and starts to read. While he's reading, his surprise grows more and more.

It seems you understand what I mean – Says Layton, looking how his expression change into a surprise – It seems this world has more than I expect. If we can't find the exit before the Big Ben goes backwards, we'll be trapped here forever.

And the Big Ben starts this strange movement once every…6 years. This world was completed…NO! – Looks scared at Layton.

Yes, my boy – Says Layton, looking back at him – 6 years ago. Well, almost. In three days, the Big Ben will start to go backwards, announcing the end of the door to outside.

And freezing the time in here… - Luke M looks at the book, still reading a bit – I knew this world was uncompleted and released too soon, but…I never knew this could happen…but why frozen?

I don't know, but we must hurry to find the pieces before it, or….oh – Looks at the main door – It seems we have company here.

Two young ladies come into the library, and look at them. One has a brown, almost black, long hair and yellow clothes, and the other, younger than the first, has pink clothes and a brown hair with a ponytail.

Is nice to see you are here, Professor – Says he older girl – We were looking for you, but this place is so big.

Remi, Flora – Says Layton, standing up to go with them – I'm glad to see you're ok. But why are you here too?

We got two invitations – Clarifies Flora – And we already met out doubles. Also, we accepted them and we have now a wish, hehe. But I wanted to wait for you before tell it, Professor.

I have mine too. I though it would be helpful to have it if we want to go out of here – Says Remi – Oh, why is Luke wearing different clothes?

Layton looks at Luke M, who's still reading the book with a serious expression on his face.

He's the double, not original Luke – Clarifies Layton – I already met my double too, but it's too early to accept him, and he accepts me. I'm suspecting a bit of him, it seems he's hiding something.

I see…that would be a problem…but, if he's the double…where's the original Luke? – Asks Remi, a bit worried.

No need to worry Remi – answers Layton, calming her a bit – He's with my double. As I can saw, he's so kind with him, but I still don't know why, he keeps calling real Luke "brother"

Brother? – Asks Flora. Layton nods, and then looks at Remi – I have to tell something to you. We were reading a book of the history of this mirror world. It seems the Big Ben is the clue to go out of this world, but there's a problem. We only have three days left.

Three days? Why? – Asks Remi, worried.

Because after this time, this world and its time will froze and stop, as the book told. The Big Ben will starts to go backwards, and then the time will stop for everyone, freezing the mirror world. Also, I still have my doubts about what means "dream" in the name "Mirror Dream Land"

Maybe it's because it looks like a dream? – Asks Flora, innocently. Layton looks at her. Maybe could be a possible clue for all this situation.

Looks like a dream… - Says Layton, half talking half thinking – Maybe, it could be possible.

Luke M goes with the group. When he sees the two girls, he introduce himself, and the girls too. They find him so polite and cute.

Once the group is formed, they go out of the library, still wearing the book as a loan book.

Well, now what can we do? – Asks Remi. Layton looks at her, and then at the Big Ben, a bit far from they're. We'll go to the tower of Big Ben – Answers to Remi, pointing at the building.

The group starts their way to the Big Ben

…..Layton's M house…..

Luke's is staring at the garden trough the window, thinking about what happened today.

Professor….Layton… - Says in a small confusion and more clear thoughts – I must talk with him again. I think he has the clue to get my memory back.

With this, and without telling a word to his brother, takes his bag and goes outside, leading his walk to the library.

TO BE CONTINUED…
