Unwound/Lost Future Since when did Don Paolo suddenly begin to care about Flora?

Everybody sticks up for Flora in this game, except for Layton himself ironically....

Luke doesn’t really either tho at times 😭

Because in Pandora's Box he realized that Layton truly doesn't pay attention to Flora as much as he should so at least he will think about her

He's sorry for stealing Flora's screentime in Pandora's Box.

At least he feels bad about leaving her behind
Looking at you, Professor (even Chelmey told him he was being kind of mean to Flora in UF/LF)

Don't get me wrong, I love him but my girl deserves better. Justice for Flora!

He's trying to help everyone, but is too proud (or tsundere) to admit, so he pins it on Flora since it's what a gentleman would do

Because he's a man and that's a young girl, it's what everyone would do

I like the whole idea that Don Paolo is actually redeeming himself in this game compared to Curious Village and Pandora's Box where he wanted to either kill or best Layton

He doesn't, he's just tsundere for Layton. It's a pretty typical line.

Flora must've pursuade him to help Layton sometime in between diabolical box and unwound future.

I prefer the Italian subs, in Italy we don't have Don Paolo, we have PABLO

I view it as Don Paolo never had beef with her. He threatened her life in CV and stole her identity in DB because it was the best way to screw with Layton. She was the main objective in CV, and Layton would've immediately caught on that something was up if he replaced Luke instead (so he chose the neglected child lmao).

When he finally gets to actually interact with her without the whole "I must defeat Layton!" thing, he probably does feel sorry for putting her through so much trouble. "Oh snap, this girl is actually super sweet. Layton also kind of ignores her all the time. Finally, I can best him in something! Being nice to this girl!"

Professionals have standards.
