Plot Edit

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva Edit

---

After Melina Whistler died, Janice was one of the first people to have Melina's memories pumped into her mind by the Detragan. Like with the other attempts, the procedure seemed to have failed, at first, but when Oswald turned his back on the machine, Janice allowed the transfer to complete by burying her personality

voluntarily and letting Melina take control of her entire mind. Melina used Janice's body throughout Eternal Diva, and she was also the one who had sent Layton the letter. At the end of the movie, she left Janice's body. Janice was later seen arriving at Layton's office after the credits.

"That's quite the apprentice you have."

"But the entrance is back the other way, isn't it?"

"Mr. Whistler?"

"Our wish?"

"Janice, it makes me happy that you wish Melina was still with us."

"This game... This island... Eating outside on the beach... Watching the seashore here with you, Professor. It feels like a dream."

"Puzzles and ruins! Of course, puzzles and ruins are more romantic for you(!)"

"What do we do, Professor?"

"It was easier to place ourselves in the cages then trap the wolves in them."

"Into that cabin!"

"This is like flying on a giant grasshopper!"

"No, I'm not scared. This is great fun!"

"I'm going to land somewhere. Hold on tight. But not to the pilot!"

Landed.

"That's brilliant, Luke!"

"But it hadn't."

"She buried her personality voluntarily, so that I could act in her place."

"I had been ill for so long... Now, I could walk and dance and sing!"

"Janice told me you were the right man, Professor. You were the only hope, of stopping my father!"

"Janice has told so many great things about you, Professor. She is very, very fond of you indeed."

"Thank-you, Father. Thank-you for your love."

"Father...Do you remember what you used to say when you left for a concert? 'No matter where I am, no matter how far I go, I'll always be in your heart.'

"Don't go, Melina. You can stay..."

"Melina!"

"Professor, Melina has left us... Is there no way to get her back?"
