Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

I cannot accommodate you at the moment, but please leave a message and I will respond as soon as possible.

I'm really sorry this is so late!

[This is sounding worse by the second.]

Other people?! [CRAP.] I didn't even think of that yet! Who else didja get the weird message for...?

[prosecutory]

Franziska, Iris, Maya, Miss Cykes...

[It just got a lot worse.]

Try calling them and anyone else you know. There seems to be many of them.

[Larry had a bad, bad feeling that the "few people" Edgeworth tried to speak with would be people relevant to him too. His heart sinks deep in his chest when his fears are realized.]

What the hell? Why's it basically everyone from home 'cept for us?! Okay, okay...lemme just...lemme just do tha--

Wait. What if I hang up with you to try and then you're gone when I call back? I dunno if I can risk it, Edgey!

...I doubt there will be a second wave. And I don't know what the abductees have in common. At least, not yet.

[And sadly, what Edgeworth doesn't know is that he'll never know what it is they had in common and why he and Larry were spared.]
