Day 62: Doctor's Office 2 (Prof. Layton) [Fourth Shift]

[puzzle4thought]

Layton yawned as he sat down in his office chair again after his lunch break. Even though he'd only seen one patient so far, that one session alone had certainly been tiring; he'd been in desperate need of some coffee shortly after it ended. Thankfully, the staff lounge had some, and he'd been able to steal a cup for himself as a post-lunch reward.

He took a sip and hummed contentedly as he reviewed his next patient's file. This one's background piqued his archeologist self in particular, although Japanese folklore had never been an area in which he'd heavily concerned himself. His interested trended more toward the Mideast than the East proper, but really, perhaps now was the time to expand his horizons a bit, as far out as they already were.

There was also this feeling he was starting to get, the feeling that things were being hidden from him, and that he'd missed something very, very important. He hadn't been able to pin a finger on it yet, but he was starting to wonder...there were too many similarities, too many things that correlated. Every session, despite the presence of a different personality, had left him wondering. Was he asking the right questions? They weren't the appropriate ones, but the right ones: there was a clear distinction. Would it be too forward? It was only his second day, after all. Far too early to start having suspicions.

He dismissed that train of thought with a sigh. Things would fall into place soon enough. Puzzles worked like that.
