[The voice on the end of the line, while young, is exceptionally cool and collected. Hopefully, she thinks, that ridiculous woman wasn't yanking her chain with this; somebody will pay hell, if so.]

Hello. My name is Rio Kamishiro; we've never met before. However, I'm calling about a peculiar encounter I had recently with a woman who seemed reluctant to allow me her name, but who quite rudely insisted on proclaiming me the mastermind behind this Holly Heights mess. On top of which, she told me to "direct all complaints to Miles Edgeworth", for some reason.

So of course, I'm going to do just that. Might you know who she is? I can easily provide more details if necessary, I'd just very much like to know, for... future reference, you understand.

Thank you for your time.

[What. "Direct all complaints to Miles Edgeworth"...and a woman...he's almost sure he knows who that is. Almost, but he has no data.]

Hello, Miss Kamishiro, this is Edgeworth. Can you describe the woman in question?

[icefallen]

Oh, yes. Rather large hair, a loud voice with a bizarre accent... And she claimed to be from the "Heart of the Heartland". It caused quite a bit of confusion when I'm from a city also called Heartland.

Does that help? I apologize for suddenly springing this on you, but I have a few choice words for her if you could kindly provide me with her name.

...Yes, I know who she is. [Suspicions confirmed. Good thing Rio can't see his face right now; it's a picture of exasperation and why-is-my-life.] Would you know why she has accused you in particular?

[icefallen]

I was hoping you would be able to tell me, actually. My closest guess was that perhaps she harbors a terrible, tragic past of betrayal and deceit that makes her suspicious of everyone who crosses her in the slightest?

[The dramatic pitch of her voice indicates she's being entirely facetious. She follows up with a more serious addendum after a pause.]

...Or that she simply didn't like how I addressed her. That seems to match up better. Do tell me what you know, in any case; I'm very curious now!

[prosecutory]

She does have an excitable personality, especially when it comes to conspiracy theories and celebrity gossip. How did you address her?
