The professor sat in his desk, grading some papers.
"Sally might need to see me after class," he muttered to himself. Professor Layton, a prestigious professor at Gressenheller University was staying late at his office, looking at the papers his faithful students handed in. The professor rubbed his eyes as the small desk lamp was shining brightly on his papers. He didn't really need the desk lamp, for his watch glowed in the dark, and was bright enough to light up the entire room. But the professor wasn't very fond of these newfangled digital watches, and preferred not to use them. Even though the Professor Layton didn't prefer digital watches, he still wore it every day. After all, it was a present from his number one apprentice.
The professor sighed when he glanced at his watch. If it wasn't for his work, he could be at home, sleeping. It was very late and all of the other professors were probably all home, resting their teaching minds. Unfortunately, Professor Layton was not one to slack off at a time of work. Even when that time was late at night.
The professor tried his best to stay awake, but father time obviously had another plan for him. Then, sharply, his desk lamp flickered constantly, and then turned off. Layton sighed again, this time rather heavily and fiddled with the wires. Still, the lights were off. The professor decided it would be more productive if he ignored the lack of light and just used his watch. Surely, if he worked fast enough, he would be home before the sun rose.
Unfortunately, the professor was wrong. He kept working… and working… and working… until he fell asleep.
