I don't think the crane mission is the one that triggers this. I had been lagging on clearing Ingall's Mine (I completed Adventures with Mali but took a long time to go back and do the other levels) I just started The Portia Harbor, had completed most but not all commissions for that.

The day following completion of all levels of Ingall's Mine, I got the letter to do Light the Way & the cut scene with Merlin accusing Lee triggered when I entered Peach Plaza. So I think the trigger is clearing Ingall's Mine - although most people probably do that within a day or two, so that may be why other things seem to be the trigger.

Need someone to test to see if they have the same results, however.
