I'm back.

[That was the coolest opening he could think of (or rather, the lamest of the coolest he decided on). It looks like the blue-suited lawyer is back to being a blue-beanied scruffy.]

That was a bit of an adventure wasn't it? I'm kind of embarrassed to remember it. How was it for anyone else?

Oh, and... [A pause. Then he clears his throat.] Aah, never mind. It really is a bad idea to let kids into something like this. But I guess Father's Day will be a little lonely from now on.

[to Maya, Mia, locked separately]
I think I owe you an explanation. Got some time for lunch?

[to Edgeworth, in the evening]
Do you have some time? I'll pay for tea, or coffee, or whatever you drink.

Nothing that I would willingly give to you.

[wrong question to ask, as she sounds rather aggravated by this.]

Sorry.

Then you don't have to give me anything. I begin a one-sided conversation in which I ask you how you do, and if you want, you answer me. That's good enough for me.

[and then Alice remembers that just because she comes from an England in which 99% of the people she knew were irredeemable assholes, doesnt' mean that this England is the same.]

No, it's... I'm the one who should apologize.

People who held an interest in me would often so in order to further their own selfish goals. Our conversation was enough to remind me of them, though that was no reason to...

I'm sorry.

... It's okay. I didn't mean to remind you of anything unpleasant, either, so I'm sorry, too.

[He shakes his head, and softens his smile a bit.]

I had friends around your age before, and my daughter's about the same. It's not to say I don't think you can take care of yourself, but I guess I just can't help but worry.

You shouldn't trouble yourself over the mad.

Surely there must be others more... deserving of your attention.

Mad? [Huh.] Well... that's okay. We're able to have a conversation still, and I find myself enjoying it. I don't really mind.

If there are other people you think deserve my attention, I've got plenty to go around.

[Mad as Hatter, even.]

Do you really?

Have you so little to occupy your days with?

[a jab, yes, but her tone is decidedly less snappy than before.

Probably.]

[He laughs.]

Compared to some other guys, I've definitely got a lot of free time.

I suppose we all do, given our situation.

Mmhm. So... are you opposed to me talking to you and asking you how you are from time to time?

[He gives her a smile.]

I suppose I wouldn't be, all things considered.

[You win this time, Wright.]

[score!]

Now my day is made. Thank you, Alice.

Yes, you're welcome, I suppose.

[This guy!!]

[Are you sick of him yet, Alice?]

Haha. Well, you look like you're taking care of yourself pretty well, so I'm glad to see it.

[Maybe... not.]

I was looked after some time ago, though I didn't much enjoy it.

Looked after? You mean here?

Not here, back in England.

I was... gravely ill for several years.

Ill? That's not good! [Lawyers: stating the obvious since the release of the first game] Are you feeling better, now?

There will be some lingering effects I'll have to live with, though I am doing much better, comparatively speaking.

[spoiler: the lingering effects of being crazy.]

I see. Well, I'm glad to hear you're doing better than before, Alice.

Yes, I am as well.

And I hope you take care from now on, too.
