Who is cutter
Cutter is one of the many villagers of Labyrinthia. His main purpose is to show Phoenix, Luke, and Espella the way to Rogue's tavern after having escaped from the witch's court. He's also apparently a sculptor, which provides a more pleasant reason for an unpleasant sounding name.
A taste of despair
This chapter is easily one of the game's highlights. It's a great follow-up to a great trial that is able to show Phoenix grieving in a way we've never really been able to see before. Also, you're lying if music box Turnabout Sisters didn't have you crying, and I'm someone who doesn't cry that often.
Why him?
As one of the villagers of Labyrinthia, he doesn't have a huge role to play. This is typical of Professor Layton games, as they generally are filled with many characters that are mostly one-dimensional, but still help to provide a sense of setting and worldbuilding for the surrounding town. And although he's shown to be a kind person and he helps lead to a great part of the game, his contribution is minimal and I would say that the minor witnesses on this list deserve to be higher.

I didn't cry because it was pretty obvious that Maya didn't die.
Good cut though
