Plot[]
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask[]
Roland appears during Layton's flashbacks to his teenage life in Stansbury. After school, Hershel arrives home to find his mother Lucille in a panic because Roland left the house with what she thinks were suspicious-looking men a few hours ago and had not yet returned. Lucille requests that Hershel go and search for him in case he has gotten into trouble.
Hershel then walks through Stansbury, inquiring after his father. The comments he receives in reply suggest that Hershel being sent out after Roland is a fairly regular event, most people mentioning that Lucille worries too much.
After searching the town with no luck, Hershel looks for his father at the Norwell Wall, where he finds Roland alone.
When Hershel asks him where he has been and tells him that Lucille was very worried for him, Roland reacts with frustration, but not surprise. He tells Hershel that the men were simply old friends and that he took them out to see the Norwell Wall, and that he told Lucille this before leaving. Again, we are given a sense that this is sort of thing happens regularly.
They return home together, and are met by a relieved Lucille, whom Roland chastises for getting herself into a state over his absence.
Later, the three of them eat dinner together and discuss Hershel's day, before Hershel leaves to go to Randall's place.
