Not being a self-indulgent fanfiction, I post it here too. The riddle is not made by me.



***ROLAND LAYTON POV***


You know, I've never told you how you dealt with the great change from Bronevs to Laytons. Probably you don't remember it, because you were just 4.


You don't have a short memory? Really? Then you must remember perfectly the time we went fishing with uncle Doug.

How not? It was just 25 years ago! If you don't remember this, then ima- Don't call me old, I've still a lot of years forward! Then again let me tell you the story, no? Surely it will surprise you.


Anyway, I was saying; you were really closed, I remember that, when we arrived to bring you you didn't want to leave your brother, such a good lad. Even in the car, when we tried to chat up, but it was pointless, you forced yourself to keep everything in you. But apparently there was one thing you couldn't refrain to answer. And guess what it was.

No no, you're astray. For reminding you I'll repeat it.


"I’m bright but I’m not clever

I burn but I’m not a bonfire

I sound like I’m a celebrity but I’m not famous

I twinkle but I’m not an eye

I can be seen at night but I’m not the moon."


You answered the same way as now, instantly. You surprised us a lot, Hershel, because even if you were feeling far and lonely, you gave us the greatest moment. You're first words for us were the stars.
