Regarding the latest AA5 buzz...

[yatagarasu]

Wow, mun! It looks like Mr. Edgeworth aged gracefully! I can't see too many lines on his face...but maybe we'll get a more detailed shot later on that'll tell us exactly how many wrinkles he's earned over the years!

And I bet that coat goes "swish!" whenever he walks! Now I kinda wish I had a coat, too...

Given certain evidence, I'm not entirely convinced that my mind will age as gracefully as my body.

(And given which is the higher priority, the thought is rather disturbing.)

[yatagarasu]

What do you mean? C'mon, I bet your logic will stand the test of time!

[malfunctionbot]

Coats that g-go 'swish' are th' only kinda coats t' own! Ya r-really need one.

[truthsnomiracle]

Supposedly, I gain the title of Chief Prosecutor. Furthermore, the other... adversary that Wright's law firm will face is a convicted murderer who was allegedly ordered to prosecute. Ergo, until such time as an extraordinary explanation for such a patently absurd course of action reveals itself, my future self's sanity must be considered suspect.

[yatagarasu]

I know! I mean, I've got a scarf that goes "swish!" in the wind but a coat can't hurt.

[yatagarasu]

...oh, right, that guy. I don't think Daddy would've let him prosecute. It's just not right!

[truthsnomiracle]

Perhaps I ought to draft a living will so that I might be euthanized in the event of being subject to a brain-wasting disease.

[yatagarasu]

...

Mr. Edgeworth, that's not funny!

[truthsnomiracle]

Neither, on the surface, is the prospect that I would allow a murderer to be placed behind the prosecution bench -- or worse still, give that order myself!

[yatagarasu]

It probably wasn't you! We don't know that!

You'd never do that, ever!

[truthsnomiracle]

Even in the event that I'm not directly responsible, whoever was would be someone who answers directly to me -- no one else would have the authority!

[yatagarasu]

Oh, yeah? What if it was someone else entirely? Someone you couldn't have known about?

[truthsnomiracle]

OBJECTION! The justice system is not a secret society, Kay! The hierarchy involved and those who staff it are entirely clear!

[yatagarasu]

Yeah, well, remember how the smuggling ring also had connections within your office?

[truthsnomiracle]

While that might be the case, who has the authority to dictate what is no secret! All your example calls into question is the motives of those who night have such authority.

[yatagarasu]

My point is, you can't be behind this! I won't believe a thing! I'm not listening or reading or anything anymoooooore! [She places her hands over her ears.]

[truthsnomiracle]

Unfortunately, I doubt that will stop your typist.

[yatagarasu]

...

Nah, I can't do that. Without any news on our game I may as well just keep tabs on this one you'll be in.

I still say you're innocent!

[truthsnomiracle]

The term is "not guilty", Kay. ("Innocent" implies far too much.)

[yatagarasu]

But they're the same!

[Edgeworth, she's a thief, not a lawyer.]

[truthsnomiracle]

Not exactly. "Not guilty" implies only that a particular defendant did not commit the crime in question. "Innocent" implies that they've done nothing wrong whatsoever.

[yatagarasu]

In any case, it's too soon for us to say you made this creepy prosecutor get on the bench! Not without evidence!

...That's not enough evidence!

[truthsnomiracle]

You are, of course, entirely right. Nevertheless, the very possibility having been raised is... deeply disturbing.

[yatagarasu]

I mean, we've gotten through cases where everyone thinks someone did it and then you turn everything on its head and show them they're wrong...

[truthsnomiracle]

Nor am I alone in that capability. A certain other man will be there as well.
