Professor Layton - Twist Fate

Entry for Twist Fate contest! Featuring... Professor Layton! Yes! I follow the rules because I'm 17
Turning our perfect and charming gentleman into a villain was a total challenge, so I tried to create the most beliable scenario in which this could happen. I'll explain it as briefly as posible.

At one of their adventures in ancient ruins, Layton tries to solve a puzzle while Luke walks around the room, but suddenly the floor cracks making Luke fall into the ground beneath, getting badly hurt. The month after the accident changed everything. Although Luke recovered completely, the professor didn't. He pondered on his actions, what was best for Luke, and considered how he had lost his loved ones in the past. He decided not to go on adventures anymore, just to keep him safe. However, Luke insisted, but every time he asked Layton refused, until one day Luke encountered Don Paolo. He had heard about everything and Luke thought he could help him convincing Layton to be himself again. As he said that, Don Paolo rejected every word and tried to walk away, but Luke insisted and followed him, almost bursting into tears. Then, Don Paolo started to sympathzise with him and agreed on helping but with the condition of leaving him alone after talking to Layton. When they arrived at his study they tried to persuade him to change his mind, but they couldn't, and the professor closed himself even more. Now outside, Luke walked down the street, leaving Don Paolo. Although he didn't wanted to have nothing to do with those two, somehow, he felt a real pity of Luke's sadness, so he invited him to help him on his tasks, and he accepted. After a few weeks, they started to trust on eachother and Luke started to recover his conficence and forget about Layton. Both of them changed and achieved some fame thanks to Don Paolo's progress in engineering, what allowed them to travel to many places and go on adventures. But Layton heard about them so he left his study for the first time looking for Luke, he wanted to stop him. However, he knew he wouldn't pay attention to him, so he decided to follow them on their journey triying to spoil their plans (and, hopefully, preventing Luke from getting hurt). A completely twist of fate.

I didn't think Don Paolo could be that handsome shaved xD
