(Hershel stirs a bit in his hospital bed, then his eyelids flutter open at the sound of somebody entering the room. He doesn’t even take a moment to try to assess his own injuries, as he quickly locks his sight onto whoever stood before him.) Hmmnh? Again? Now what?…

Every Puzzle Has An Answer !
-Layton’s Journal Entry No. 9- As I lie awake at night in our involuntary housing arrangements, I remember that man's face. I don't believe I've ever met him before, but I can't shake the feeling that we have some sort of connection.
-Layton’s Journal Entry No. 8- Claire had been telling me of a Targent agent pursuing her in the streets. It appears to have been a precursor to our inevitable capture. After some struggle, Claire, little Desmond and myself have been taken away to The Nest.
What. What do you mean Targent is here?
Why, I do believe the weather is beginning to warm up quite a bit! This calls for a day trip to Pumpkin Park. Would anyone care to come along?
I’m not quite sure I understand. Claire?…
Why is there suddenly an abundance of children following me on here? (Respectfully, I don’t believe I’m capable of caring for any more children…)
So very tired… I haven’t slept at all recently. How is everyone here doing?
Good afternoon, Dean Delmona, I apologize for my sudden disappearance. As you’re more than familiar, I typically leave some sort of notice in advance when I plan to go on sabbatical. Unfortunately, I found myself suddenly and grievously injured in a corn field in an undisclosed location.
I am constantly blacking out. Did I miss anything significant over the past few days?
(He can hardly bring himself to open his eyes.) Has… medical attention arrived yet?
This is a lot of blood… I don’t… feel very…
-Layton’s Journal Entry No. 7- Flora and I have once again crossed into another unfamiliar location. According to the unnaturally bright signage that compliments the equally unnaturally bright environment, we have arrived in a place called “Farm Merge Valley”. Unfortunately, night has fallen,
What could that person have meant by insinuating I have several hundred children… I wouldn’t consider myself that romantically successful! Nor is such a thing even possible…
I have thankfully escaped from the Backrooms and eventually Labyrinthia, but I unfortunately have found myself in a different location entirely. Flora? Are you out there?
claire i'm about to have what they call a "joker moment"
CLAIRE, WAIT! can i get a honk on that bobo
-Layton’s Journal Entry No. 6- Flora and I appear to be lost in the local Tesco. For reasons beyond my comprehension, I cannot seem to find an exit despite being completely certain of its whereabouts. This is quite a puzzle indeed.
Ahem. Pardon my sudden absence. I just needed some time alone. One mustn’t make a scene in public, after all.
GOOD FUCKING HEAVENS WHO IS GIVING WEED TO THE CHILDREN
-Layton’s Journal Entry No. 5- After a night of Valentine’s Day pleasantries with Paul I can say with complete certainty that I am not a heterosexual. -Hershel Layton
Frankly, I'm not entirely sure if I have any plans on this Valentine's Day. Claire's presence in the present day is dubious at best, and Randall appears to have abandoned me to have dinner with Sammy Thunder at the local Outback Steakhouse.
