Not surprising. The young lady in question is...difficult. I think you'll need to contact her and start the process yourself.
[A slight pause, and then, dryly:]
I'm confident you've not lost your skill for badgering people into accepting your services.

(Who's joking now, Edgeworth!?
...Then again, that might not be a joke.)
That's mostly Maya's fault. If I have anyone to thank for my skills dealing with difficult young ladies... That's the one.

Indeed. She's rather as difficult as they come.
You'll be going up against AGI, though. Are you prepared for that?

You can say that again.
...Well, I've gone up against big corporations before. (Okay, one of them.) I don't know how else to be prepared, and there's not much time to do it--but she needs a lawyer.

Quite. For what it is worth, I've dealt with them extensively, as I've recounted. Any assistance within my power, I will give to you.
Thanks, Edgeworth... I'll keep that in mind.
So how's your case with Mr. Wolfson going?

...He is not the...ideal client, I'm discovering.
Very few clients are, in my experience.
What's wrong with him? Do you think... he did it?
What's wrong with him? Do you think... he did it?
...No. I don't. The weight of evidence is against him, but there's simply something about his manner that makes me think...But these are nebulous terms. I would that I had something more concrete than "gut feeling" to indicate innocence.
(Now you know how it feels, Edgeworth!)
Well, you've got to trust that instinct. Sometimes it's all you have. Like my mentor said, it's pretty clear what a good lawyer does in such a situation...
(Okay, you knew Mia before I did, but anyway!)

What...does a "good lawyer" do in such a situation?
Believe in your convictions, and keep fighting.
I've got to carry on what she was doing, after all.
She was... a very important person.
She was... a very important person.
To many people here.
[A slight pause.]
Has Armando been tormenting you?
[A slight pause.]
Has Armando been tormenting you?
(That's right... Mia was dating Diego Armando before he was attacked by... Dahlia, according to the facts we know...)
Well, I don't know if I'd say tormenting...
He's not exactly making things easy, though, yes.

But he's not being - and please forgive the slightly grade-school connotations here - "mean."
Well... Bitter, annoying, insulting, mocking, yeah. But I don't think there's anything... harmful behind it? Well, as far as that makes sense.
If he does end up doing so, be sure to tell me. I'll have words with him.
(Run away and tattle to Edgeworth?
...Well, I mean, how would it really be different from elementary school?)
...R-Right. Okay.

Good. He's a very good man. Even if you wouldn't know it from talking to him.
Is he?
...I guess Mia wouldn't have...
(...! Do I really want to talk about that!?)
...I guess Mia wouldn't have...
(...! Do I really want to talk about that!?)
...Yes. He is. I fought beside him in court, once, and he's a good lawyer - and a good man. Courageous and steadfast, even when I myself was uncertain and faltering. He is...precisely the sort of man who'd have mentored someone like Mia Fey.
