...That's pretty high praise, Edgeworth. Particularly from you... But he didn't just mentor her, after all.

(...Whatever business it is of mine, anyway.)

[ergomaniac]

...I know. But that's the only aspect of the relationship we need worry about.

[ace_attorney]

(Maybe... but I can't help it. I'm thinking about it.

Mia... Why didn't I ever know? I... guess it really isn't my business...)

...Right. I guess so.

[ergomaniac]

Anyway. How is Maya?

[ace_attorney]

Maya? Well, you know her... The same as always.

...Although, to be honest, I can tell she's hiding a lot from me. Just by the Psyche-Locks alone, if nothing else.

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE B/C I AM TERRIBLE

[ergomaniac]

The, er...?

/HITS YOU, YOU TERRIBLE PERSON!!!

[ace_attorney]

...Oh. The Psyche-Locks?

That's... kind of a complicated thing... It has to do with Maya's spirit channeling thing.

(And other... things.)

OW OH GOD I'M SORRY FORGIVE ME

[ergomaniac]

I'm listening.

...OKAY FINE.

[ace_attorney]

Basically, Pearls gave me this thing... A "Magatama". When you're using it, you can see when people are hiding a secret from you, in the form of their "Psyche-Locks."

[ergomaniac]

And what was this...What was it? Psycho-lock?

[ace_attorney]

It just looks like a lock with a chain that you can perceive when you're using the Magatama... If you present the right evidence, you can get them to break, and reveal what they're hiding.

[ergomaniac]

Can you not do that without the assistance of this "Magatama"?

[ace_attorney]

...I suppose you could, but it helps.

[ergomaniac]

I suppose that makes...more sense than this sort of thing usually does.

[ace_attorney]

Yeah, I didn't believe it when Pearls gave it to me, exactly, but I used it in my last case and it seemed to work.

[ergomaniac]

And that is what you offered for my use?

[ace_attorney]

Yes. My cases don't seem like they're going to be needing something quite so complicated.

[ergomaniac]

...Just wait, Wright. Don't underestimate this place. There's quite a lot of madness here.

[ace_attorney]

Well, there's madness everywhere, Edgeworth. Trust me. I spend time with Maya, I should know.

[ergomaniac]

Quite. For what it's worth - I used to think that they could not get madder than she. Then I came here.

[ace_attorney]

I guess only time will tell what happens...

But in the meantime, I'd like you to take it. Trust me, when you're arguing against the odds and you need something to turn about the case, having an ace in the hole is useful.

That sounds dirty, Wright, are you hitting on me

[ergomaniac]

...Then I will take it with thanks.

Wow, no, let's just see what your edge is worth

[ace_attorney]

Great. I'll bring it over sometime.

Come on baby I'll rise from YOUR ashes

[ergomaniac]

Anytime. My door is open to you.

justice isn't the only thing that's for all

[ace_attorney]

Then I'll see you soon.
