1st Experiment [voice]

[painfeels]

I don't want this. Where is she? WHERE IS THAT WOMAN?

This fight, their war... It means nothing to me!

[The voice, deep and distorted as it sounds, can just barely pass as female. Whoever this is, the grunts and heavy breathing should be enough to let others know how angry she is.]

They all think they can control me, tell me what to do.

THEY'RE WRONG.

[additional grunting, and pained noises go here.]

Let me go, now! I don't have time for this. I have to find Valentine.

Find her, and KILL HER!

[painfeels]

How can I be calm when...!

[indecipherable muttering and grumbles.]

What am I supposed to think about?

voice;

[bratworth]

You're alive now, aren't you?

voice;

[painfeels]

What kind of question is that?

[gosh, Edgeworth!]

Yeah, that's never changed.

voice;

[bratworth]

So if you're alive, how could you possibly have been killed?

voice;

[painfeels]

It's all because of them. IT'S LAB ZERO'S FAULT! They took me away from everything I knew, did all sorts of experiments and...

They turned me into a freak!

voice;

[bratworth]

[ So the more metaphorical meaning of 'life', then. ]

And, ah, this 'Valentine' was part of them, was she?

voice;

[painfeels]

Yeah, that's right.

It's because of her and Brain Drain that this happened to me!

[You heard right. Brain Drain.]

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Yeah, Edgeworth isn't too sure about that. Brain Drain. ]

... Is that the name of another involved individual?

voice;

[painfeels]

[Look dude, he's totes real. Just like the voices in her head.]

Yeah, he's their head psychic or something like that. It's through him that...

They did things to my mind! Tried to make it so that I'd always obey. But, I won't! THEY CAN'T MAKE ME.

voice;

[bratworth]

... Thus, there is no need to kill them. Correct?

voice;

[painfeels]

You want me to just let them go? That's not gonna happen. THEY NEED TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO ME.

voice;

[bratworth]

Of course they do. I am not disputing that. I am just suggesting that you reconsider the way that you seek your vengeance.

voice;

[painfeels]

Easy for you to say. You're not the one who lost everything!

voice;

[bratworth]

[ ... Oh, what she doesn't know. But he's not the point here, the point is to calm down this new transport before she kills someone. ]

You've been very vague thus far, but I'll also point out that these people you seek might not be here at all, and that it is unlikely you will be returning home any time soon.

voice;

[painfeels]

[Look dude, she's only 15.]

They would've... shown up by now.

But fine. You want to know more? Go ahead and ask!

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Teenagers and children can still be murders! But hey, at least someone is giving him their blessing to ask his questions for once. ]

... So, you were subjected to experiments by employees of this Lab Zero? That left you... [ how should he phrase this? ] disfigured?

voice;

[painfeels]

[Oh, he's not wasting any time at all. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea...]

Yeah, that's right.

Guess they thought it'd be better for someone they turned into a weapon.

voice;

[bratworth]

That was their aim?

voice;

[painfeels]

They wanted me to find the Skullgirl, kill her, and bring back the Skull Heart.

[y e p.]

voice;

[bratworth]

[ Wow. What a life. ]

What's a 'Skullgirl'?

[painfeels]

[Yeah. It kind of sucks.]

The 'Skullgirl' is what happens if someone with an impure heart makes a wish on the Skull Heart.

I haven't actually met her yet, but she's supposed to be really dangerous and powerful.

[bratworth]

Did this 'Lab Zero' intend to make a wish upon this Skull Heart? [ There's a logical fallacy right there! ]

[painfeels]

[Oh Edgeworth. You and your silly logic...]

I don't know. They just told me to bring it back to them.

[bratworth]

Was there any particular reason that they chose you?

[painfeels]

If there was, I have no idea.

Go to school, come back home to mom and dad...

Everything was pretty ordinary.
