EVENT 026.EXE: FILE NOT FOUND

[prosecutory]

[Original top level]

Zoro

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[His posture relaxes; Zoro did not press Edgeworth for more details, and he didn't seem fazed by the sight of his own bloodied body.]

It would seem so. [He reaches up to place a hand on the mirror, and this time, he sees his reflection.] I apologize...for seeing your memory.

[yourotherleft]

Huh? [a quick blink, and then a shake of his head] Nah, it's nothing. It's not like you're making it do that, right? And I'm not making it happen. So there's nothing to apologize for.

[he figures as long as he doesn't explain the vision, it's still no-harm-no-foul.]

[prosecutory]

I suppose. [At least he got that out of the way.] This wasn't the first time anything like this happened. I saw another person's memory some time ago.

Phoenix

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

Agreed. [He remains on the bank, however, staring out into the distance as if waiting for something to rise up from the water.] After all the strange animals we've encountered, I wouldn't be surprised if anything could live in this.

[bewrightback]

Right. Let's just try... going around then, I guess. [He starts to move. ...Although it looks like there's bubbles on the surface of the water, in the spot that Phoenix's rock sunk into moments ago.]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth doesn't move. He makes a strangled sound of surprise when he sees the water begin to bubble. His eyes widen, he grits his teeth, and raises his saber as he backs away slowly.]

Wright...

Athena

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth sighs, equally at a loss, but he has one more idea.]

We can try finding something around here we can use to gather a sample. [Keyword being "try". Even Edgeworth himself isn't so sure they'll be able to.]

But taking photos of the evidence is a good start.

[psycholawgy]

[ she smiles at that. ]

Yeah. It was boss who told me to take pictures while on a case. Especially with the Dark Age of the Law... you have to do it before the scene gets tampered with.

[prosecutory]

Wright?

[He likewise smiles, in amusement. It's more of a little smirk.]

Did he also tell you to present your defense attorney's badge wherever you went?

Inaba

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

I remember that. [Edgeworth folds his arms across his chest, thinking back to that time.] It was through dreams that we saw others' memories, correct?

[dereban]

That's right. [ She nods quietly, folding her arms over her chest. ] The person whose memory I saw isn't here any longer, though.

[prosecutory]

On the other hand, the person I shared memories with is still here.

[He clears his throat and strokes his chin.]

When we had those dreams, we weren't sent to a place like this. And neither did we have masks.

Ema + Merlin

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth takes his water bottle back and sips at it.]

Thank you.

[He watches Merlin begin to grow a vine, and tomatoes begin popping onto it, growing at a quick pace. Edgeworth can't help but gasp when he sees how Merlin looks after the tomatoes were sufficiently ripe enough.]

Are you all right? [Instinctively he offers his own bottle.]

[usefulanalysis]

[Ohh! Merlin and Edgeworth are talking...and there's magic! Oh man, Ema's attention is completely focused on the spell, chewing her fingertips in anticipation!]

wtf is the gif on this post... dear lord

[sortileges]

It's nothing.

[ Well, really it is. It's something fresh, it's food compared to starving to death. He ends up having to close his eyes after though, sinking down a bit as he crosses his arms over his chest. ]

Don't worry about it, just fill yourselves up while you have the chance.

[ He does crack an eye open to glance at Ema though, amused that she's just sitting there watching the whole thing like it's the best thing since life itself. ]

Before it ends up as rotten as this place, anyway.

Iris

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth can only guess at what Iris said, going by what he knew about her family and her past. He nods slowly, approaching her to lay a hand on her shoulder.]

Is it from your past, at least? A memory?

[shroudedinsecrecy]

[Edgeworth was, perhaps, one of the few who could place his hand on her shoulder and not have her flinch at the touch. Because not only did she trust him, but he already knew enough of her past that she didn't fear his judgement.]

Yes.

Is that what you saw as well?

[She wouldn't ask him the details unless he wanted to share. Respecting his privacy as much as he was willing to respect hers.]

[prosecutory]

[Edgeworth withdraws his hand and nods, answering quietly.]

Yes.

[He pauses.]

Do you see anything that isn't part of your memory...?

Adelina

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

I apologize. [He glances at the mirrors beside him, hands at his back. There was that blonde woman again, and then the scene in the elevator which was his own memory...

Edgeworth turns back to her.]

I also apologize...I presume that was your memory. [It was the recurring trend.]

[bloodbiter]

No - you needn't apologize.

[out of respect for his privacy, she tries not to look at the memory of his that's being shown, but... she can't block it out entirely. even so, she doesn't feel that it would be polite to comment on it, so she tries not to appear as though she notices it.]

...I think there are more productive things we could be doing with our time than discussing such things.

[which is another way of saying that she doesn't want to talk about her memory, either.]

[prosecutory]

Indeed.

[Edgeworth starts walking around the room, examining the mirrors. Every so often, he would see her memory, or his, or both in different shards of glass.

He doesn't want to talk about his own memory and he respects her privacy so this is okay.]

Let's see what else we can find here.

Rhys

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

I don't think so either, and...there may be something lurking in it.

[His voice is dark, foreboding. It's as if he's had a lot of experience with sneaky water creatures.]

[echoistic]

[Rhys, on the other hand, doesn't have much experience with sneaky water creatures (creatures on land, though—well, he's essentially a monster hunter back home).]

Sooo... is that a vote for avoiding the suspicious body of water, or...?

Larry

[prosecutory]

[Continued from here!]

[Edgeworth knew that case. It was the one that launched Phoenix's career; it was almost fitting, in a strange way, that he would begin by defending a friend. But this is also his first time seeing it in real time instead of reading about it in a court record. Despite Larry's failings, he was no murderer and did not deserve the charge.

Larry's blank look and lack of emotion are disturbing - but Edgeworth could see the reason why. It wasn't the same with Rapunzel, when he could not discern what had made a peppy young woman suddenly emotionless.]

So it is.

I've noticed many of the memories people see in these mirrors are unpleasant, to say the least.
