Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth; I cannot take your call at the moment but please leave your message and I will respond as soon as possible. Thank you.

text; he'd do manfred von karma proud

[calculating]

[it's a shame that it's unlikely he will ever hear about it because of particular reasons.]

Did you not look at the attached file? Some prosecutor you are, not examining the evidence in front of you. [all of the victims are either well-dressed or otherwise attractive men of various ages. Edgeworth, with his smart-ass attitude and fancy clothing, fits those criteria.]

text; He's the son Manfred never had

[prosecutory]

The text is in Japanese. I can look at it as much as I'd like but that does not change the fact that I do not understand Japanese.

[BUT THERE'S THIS DUDE WHO'S ONLY WEARING A SHIRT, NOT FANCY THREADS...]

text; i thought that was franziska

[calculating]

The images alone are enough to give you an idea of what you're looking at. I'd offer to translate it, but it would hardly be worth my time.

[MAYBE SHE RIPPED IT OFF, WHAT THEN]

text; Well, she IS manlier than some of the actual dudes

[prosecutory]

Am I supposed to see a similarity between these two men, judging from their pictures alone?

text; i think you mean all. minus her father

[calculating]

Well aside from the method of murder, the images chosen aren't the best representation, I admit. It's a shame you're unable to read the text.

text; ...this is a valid point but what about the creepy prosecutor in AAI2

[prosecutory]

Then I shall seek assistance elsewhere in translating it. Preferably from someone who knows of this as well.

text; manlier than all of them

[calculating]

They'd better be able to use that photograph, in that case. I refuse to lend the actual document.

text; that IS plenty manly

[prosecutory]

Not even if the only other person to see it were from your world and well aware of this matter?

[calculating]

Assuming you're referring to Kyouko Kirigiri, that's even more reason to not allow it.

text;

[prosecutory]

And why is that? She is a detective, is she not?

text;

[calculating]

She's an insolent woman that can't follow instructions. She concerns herself only with what she wants and refuses to see beyond that. [SOUND LIKE ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW, EDGEWORTH... Minus woman, and all]

She has enough familiarity with this case without the file. She can discuss it with you that way.

[prosecutory]

[WOW, TOGAMI, YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS. And Edgeworth knows these problems all too well.]

Are you certain that we are speaking of the same Detective Kyouko Kirigiri? I have yet to encounter any difficulties with working alongside her.

text;

[calculating]

That's no doubt because you've had no actual chance to work with her. Thankfully, I know no other Kirigiri. There's no chance I'm thinking of someone else.

text;

[prosecutory]

On the contrary, I have worked with her. The Court of Justice closely coordinates with the Law Enforcement Unit, after all. I believe I have had more than just an "actual chance".

text;

[calculating]

You haven't really worked with her, now have you? When the harshest crime you've faced here is a traffic violation, you have no means of comparison.

text;

[prosecutory]

You are referring to your "school", am I correct?

text;

[calculating]

I would think that's obvious by now.

text;

[prosecutory]

Unlike many people, I verify my conclusions before jumping to them.

Does she know of your crime scene experiment?

text;

[calculating]

What, do you expect to be congratulated for knowing the value of evidence?

Perhaps you weren't listening as carefully as you thought to my explanation. Anyone here from my school that was alive and able to attend the trial for that case knows. It wasn't as if I did it for no reason. In the end, it helped them learn who the serial killer hiding among them was.

[prosecutory]

[He's not even going to answer that last one, wow. Also, you can't expect him to know everyone from your world, gosh!!! HE'S NOT A DATABASE.]

I thought you said you merely did it for your entertainment.

text;

[calculating]

[IF YOU'RE GONNA TALK, YOU BETTER KNOW YOUR SHIT. GOD.]

What, you mean to tell me you can't see how watching them struggle to identify a serial killer is entertaining? It's much more interesting to watch than a boring open-closed case where the killer didn't even notice he'd been spotted leaving the scene of the crime.

text;

[prosecutory]

[WE'RE NOT TALKING, WE'RE TEXTING. /shot]

No, I would consider it frustrating. I will concede that there is a thrill in solving conundrums, but when a killer is on the prowl, it's difficult to appreciate that thrill.
