3* Oh god, the entire ending:
4** Aurora's final plea to the Azran revives her companions and Bronev, but now having served her purpose, she fades away as Luke looks at her with tears streaming down his face.
5*** Aurora's helplessness in general in that scene, as she has to watch as her best friends ''die'' in front of her. She couldn't even sacrifice herself in the stead of any of them, because she was physically barred from blocking the lights.
6** With her mission to Targent complete, Emmy leaves Layton, saying her thanks and even putting in a good word for Luke. She calmly walks to the door... and then turns around to give Layton one last hug.
7*** Actually, ''everything about'' Emmy's betraying Layton and Luke is heartwrenching.You can tell that she's full of {{regret|fulTraitor}}, and she's even trying not to cry during TheReveal. It's also heavily implied, if not outright stated, that she chose to assist her uncle because she disliked watching him turn into a villain more than because she actually agreed with Targent's methods.
8* Descole:
9** Descole's death. Many of us guessed it was coming, but no one expected him to basically kill himself. At least he died in the ruins that he was so passionate about, but that doesn't soften the blow... And then he's shown to be fine about ten minutes later. Not quite so sad, but it gave several of us minor heart attacks.
10** Descole giving up his real name, Hershel, for his younger brother, Theodore, so that the younger could be HappilyAdopted. Then there's the fact that the Laytons couldn't take the both of them.
11*** FridgeHorror kicks in here: Descole claims he's going to be looked after another family in the village. Their name? Phibbs. As in fibs. He's lying, and more than likely grew up alone.
12*** The fate of the Bronev family is one big damn tragedy in and of itself. Leon's research led him and his wife to be kidnapped by a then-smaller Targent, and after his wife, Rachel, died, Leon became obsessed with unlocking the Azran legacy no matter the cost. His son Hershel later became his greatest adversary to take back what he lost, growing almost, if equally as obsessive as his father. Theodore, or Hershel Layton would have a happier time in Stansbury and London, though his new life [[VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheUnwoundFuture wasn't exactly]] [[VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheMiracleMask a basket of roses either]].
