Thank you for the inbox spam I never knew I needed.

Aren't you too old for chain letters?

[bombdemon]

You're welcome.

See, in my experience horrible things will happen when you do not forward these. I failed to meet the quota once and the drain monster ate my friend.

[prosecutory]

There is no such thing as a drain monster.

[At least, not in his world.]

[bombdemon]

That's what I thought, too! But then I found the bloodied sandal...

[prosecutory]

It could have been evidence of something else.

[bombdemon]

I was speaking to him on the phone when the line went dead.

[prosecutory]

And you found the bloodied sandal after that?

[bombdemon]

That is correct. I found it in the place that he mentioned he was hiding in before I lost contact.

[ THIS IS NOW A MURDER CASE ]

[prosecutory]

[What. Edgeworth doesn't know if this is real or if he's being led on, but he has no way of proving it either way. In any case, he's sure there should be no drain monsters in Holly Heights.

...90% sure, at least. Who knows, with that crazy landlord?]

He might have injured his foot and simply went to find something for it.

[bombdemon]

[ It's real. Kind of. ]

And hasn't been seen or heard by anyone for the rest of the day?

[prosecutory]

[WHY in the name of fudge is he still talking to this guy.]

Surely a more logical explanation is that the injury required more attention than one would think.

[bombdemon]

I'm not entirely sure how once can injure themselves that much while sitting in a bathtub, but I suppose your version makes sense as well.

[prosecutory]

He was hiding in a bathtub? Actually, why was he hiding in the first place?

[bombdemon]

Because the cursed chain mail warned him Sarah was coming, of course! He was securing the drains in the bathroom when he realized it was already too late and went into hiding!

[prosecutory]

"Sarah"?

So, let me get this straight. He was hiding from Sarah, and that was when the "drain monster" attacked?

[bombdemon]

Ah, did I forget to mention? Sarah was the drain monster.

[prosecutory]

My, you've woven quite the interesting yarn.

[Once again, sarcasm is lost over text.]

[bombdemon]

I beg your pardon?
