[ Accidental Video ]

[ You would figure by now, somebody would notice how easy it was to accidentally set these phones off and make them start recording and maybe, you know, fix them. Because it's happened again. But this time it's not some secret affair or helpless person experiencing shadows for the first time. What you see unfolding on the screen looks like a teenager trying to pick a fight with kids a little younger than himself. Wow, what? That hardly seems fair! ]

The hell do you punks think you're doing? Get out of here! Scram!

[ ...Yet amazingly, all it took was a few swings and punches at the air to scare the kids away. Of course, doing so reveals another child curled up on the ground, hugging a plush bunny to her chest. Of course, the big and scary teenager makes his way over to her, but with a much different aura about him this time. He actually kneels down to her level and gives her head a pat. ]

You okay, kid? ...Damn it, they really did a number on him, didn't they? Here, lemme see him.

[ Yes, he just whipped out some thread and a needle. And he is totally sewing the bunny back up like nobody's business. Obviously he must be a pro at this. Eventually he's done and hands it back to the kid who gives her thanks and scampers off. ]

Geez, kids can be so cruel. Ain't fair, being ganged up on like that. Now where did I put-- shit!

[ Yeah, he may have just realized the phone someone got knocked out of his pocket and is totally recording everything. Panic mode is go!]

Shit, shit, shit! How do you stop this thi--

[ Oh, looks like he finally got it! Click. Of course, it's not like that's going to keep anyone from calling him back or anything. ]

[ Later on, you might find Kanji wandering about the city. Doesn't look like he's actually doing anything in particular, but if you hadn't seen his earlier accidental video, he might look like the type that's looking for trouble. I mean, those piercings and that scar don't exactly give the best first impressions. Feel like bothering him? ]

If I had that answer or an unhindered path towards it, I would hardly be wasting time contemplating the purchase of a new flute. [A pause, then a less-firm afterthought:] ...I'm sorry.

[ A sigh escapes his lips, posture gaining a bit less confidence than it had seemed to boast before. But he'll keep a straight face, regardless. ]

Ain't got no reason to be. Probably my own damn fault. All I've been doing to causing trouble for everyone.

Unless you are the one responsible for the mass kidnappings, that is highly unlikely.

Kidnappings...

[ Wait, wasn't there something related to kidnappings back in Inaba? He couldn't really recall any of the details, but it seemed... weird to say the least. ]

Huh. Seems kinda weird that they'd bother tossing in a punk like me from some town of minor significance though, doesn't it? I mean, you're a big fancy lawyer so I can get why you're here.

That it would, were the motivation to ransom. However, several things are out of place for such a scenario, not the least of which is that no one is actively preventing us from traveling.

...Huh. That doesn't make any damn sense. But guess it isn't supposed to.

[This guy's glare now seems to be boring straight into Kanji.]

I highly doubt that a change in the formula of a typical kidnapping scenario as severe as this would be made merely to confuse us all. To restrain one's kidnappees to a cage, however gilded, is vital to any ordinary motive for the crime.

I don't think there's anything ordinary about any of this.

Clearly not. However, I refuse to believe that there isn't some form of reason to all of this, even should that reason prove entirely alien.

...Don't tell me you actually buy into that 'monster' non-sense people keep trying to warn me about.

[Being the recipient of a glare himself prompts Edgeworth to try to bury his new surge of unease under a sterner return glare.]

...I didn't wish to believe it either, not even when my own eyes were the messengers.

[ Crap. This isn't going the way he expected at all. But he won't give up his facade, not now! ]

You sayin' you actually saw them? Maybe you were just drunk.

[ Because all lawyers drink, right? ]

[Oh, it is on, kid. Say hello to a lawyer who was trained to win staring contests against mirrors. Edgeworth doesn't even break his gaze as he points at Kanji.]

OBJECTION! It would be foolish to waste money on alcohol when one has only just found oneself in an unknown place and cut off from one's bank accounts. Furthermore, it is equally foolish to impair one's judgment when one intends to observe something! Additionally, the restaurant I visited that evening via a gift card doesn't even serve that form of beverage; you can verify that for yourself if you want evidence, and obtain testimony from the employees in the process.

[ You know that one animation of Phoenix? When words simply fail him in any form because holy crap what is even going on anymore? Yeah, that's Kanji right now. ]

O-okay, I get it. Don't get your cravat all up in a bunch. I'll believe you. For now.

[Edgeworth, satisfied with his command of the situation, shrugs and shakes his head.]

Given the apparent absurdity of the claims in question, I don't expect you to take me or anyone else at our word. Observe what happens at midnight for yourself.

Maybe I will!

[ That'll totally show that pompous jerk. ]

[Or just make him grin.]

If you wish to discuss the matter further after doing so, the name "Miles Edgeworth" should be sufficient to allow you to track me down once more.
