Well hello there everyone. Welcome to the newer faces, how are you doing to both the new and old. In case you don't recognize this face or the hat, I'm Phoenix Wright, and I've got an announcement for you guys.

As of a few days ago, it seems like we've got a missing child on our hands. His name is Miles and he's about - oh - five feet eleven inches? I don't know how much he weighs, he's got grey hair and he was last seen wearing a red suit and a really intense cravat. He's... 24 years old, I think.

He hasn't been in his room and hasn't been coming in to work, either. His family is very worried about him. So.

[There is a few seconds' pause here, where Phoenix's rather playful expression sobers up. He keeps the smile, but he's definitely more serious now. A little sad, even.]

That is to say, it doesn't seem like Miles Edgeworth is here anymore. Haven't been able to reach his tablet or anything. I don't know if he'll come back like he did last time, but like last time, if you had any business with him I recommend contacting Miss Franziska von Karma. She might be able to help you out some.

[Another little silence. He's looking away from the camera. He mumbles some words like "They're all going somewhere." "How many is this now?" "I guess it's better they're not here, but." "It's starting to get kind of lonely." "I hope he's okay."

Then he turns back to the screen again, the first wide smile back on his face.]

Now, in case you don't know what he looks like! I drew a picture. I'm pretty confident in the likeness, if I do say so myself. I think the dog's still around...

What are you doing?!

[aceordisgraced]

I am making a public service announcement. What does it look like i am doing?

[perfectionisms]

That is the least accurate depiction of the dog I have ever seen.

[ringbeast]

Aw, man, I met that guy and his dog!

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

That mean he went home?

[aceordisgraced]

Did you? I'm glad to see he didn't glare a hole into you, then.

[He laughs, a little quietly.]

I'm guessing that he did. That's what they say happens when you disappear from here the way he did.

[ringbeast]

He almost did. The dog didn't like me either, which was a shame 'cos it was real cute...

[He looks at the camera with some grudging concern.]

So I'm guessin' he was a friend of yours, then. Sorry he had to go, but at least he's back home now.

I will search for him.

[aceordisgraced]

Aah.

We've tried contacting his device and we looked for all the places we thought he'd be. His tablet can't be reached, and when this happens, it usually means they're not in Exsilium anymore.

I called him a missing kid, but the real message's that we're sure he's gone.

[firstroar]

That is sufficient evidence for you?

[whatsupcroc]

I think he might be older than that! Like ancient!

Sorry that he's gone, now.

[aceordisgraced]

All things considered, he might be eighty in his poor poor heart. Yelling at people to get off his lawn and stuff.

Thanks. I'm a little sorry, too. Did you like him, Collette?

[whatsupcroc]

Shaking his cane at them, even if the cane isn't real...

Yeah. I still do, you know! I like him very much.

[gevurah]

Grayed at twenty-four?

[ A pause. ]

Sorry about your friend.

[aceordisgraced]

I think he was that color at nine, maybe. I don't think it's actually being grayed?

Thanks. I'm sorry, too, but he probably didn't like it here so that's a comfort.

[gevurah]

He'll be alright back home, right? They usually are.

24 and still a child to you?

[aceordisgraced]

It's a joke. He's been more mature than I am now since he was 9 years old.

But I guess he is a kid. He was 24 and single and I'm 34 and a dad.

[acemedium]

Hey! That looks just like him!

[aceordisgraced]

Right! Thought you'd understand, my good Maya.

[galactically]

[Sheryl's totally laughing jovially at the drawing.]

Aww, your friend looks adorable in the picture!

[aceordisgraced]

He's pretty adorable in person too! [gringringrin]

Well, he would glare me to death if he heard me say it, though.

[bittertears]

Most unfortunate news, I'm sure. Though perhaps he'll be returned here once more? Much to his aggravation.

[she's kind of sad about this. and yet...]

A masterfully drawn portrait of him, I should also add.

[aceordisgraced]

Much to his aggravation... and I honestly would be upset if he had to be stuck here again so I hope he can stick to his life back home for a while longer.

The likeness is uncanny though, won't you say? With this I won't feel lonely at all.

[painfeels]

Sorry about friend.

... Is the dog still missing?

[aceordisgraced]

Thanks. But I think he'll be glad to have his life back, you know?

And the dog, we found her with Miss Franziska.
