I HATE YOU SO MUCH

[psycholawgy]

[ He... He didn't say any names... SHE CAN STILL GET AWAY WITH THIS???? ]

That's- That's right! I like Mr. Edgeworth!

[ The mention of the prosecution breaks a psyche-lock, but there's still another one present. ]

THANKS

[bewrightback]

[Yes! That's one more Psyche-Lock down! ...But there's still one last one. She's still hiding something. Edgeworth might be handsome, and he might be closer to her age in this place, but he can't be the answer!]

I'm sorry, Athena, but I don't think that I can buy that. [He stares her down seriously.] Look me in the eye and tell me that you find 'this' to be attractive!

[He presents a photo of Edgeworth's cravat.]

[psycholawgy]

(Why does Mr. Wright have a photo of Mr. Edgeworth's clothing?! Is he trying to find a tailor to copy his outfits?!)

I find that very stylish, thank you very much!

[bewrightback]

[She actually likes it! I really underestimated her... It's time to rethink this.]

I'm sure that Edgeworth would be happy to hear that. But I'm still not sure if I buy this crush. After all, if you were that interested in Edgeworth, you would have looked into his past a long time ago!

[That's all I have left... If I try presenting any more of his fashion, she'll probably like that too!]

[psycholawgy]

[ She chucks a throw pillow at him. ]

He's a prosecutor, okay?!

[bewrightback]

[Phoenix is hit!! Phoenix down! But then he makes a recovery and points at her.]

But he's not the only prosecutor you've ever known! He may be a prosecutor, but in your eyes... He may not be the prose-cutest!

1/???

[psycholawgy]

...

[psycholawgy]

[ Um. ]

[psycholawgy]

(This IS my mentor, right? This isn't Robin Newman, right?)

Done.

[psycholawgy]

Hey, boss?

[bewrightback]

...Yes, Athena?

[psycholawgy]

Please don't ever say that again.

[bewrightback]

....Consider it stricken from the record.

Moving right along...

[psycholawgy]

Let's not talk about it anymore! Weren't you saying something about Trucy, anyway?!

[bewrightback]

You're right. It's important that we get this over with and work together in planning Trucy's birthday party.

That's why I'll present only one more thing.

[psycholawgy]

Okay...? What do you have?

[bewrightback]

It's simple. Even as I go through all the possibilities, I have to consider those who were there from even before day one. Someone whom... both of you would do anything for each other. I can't say that it makes perfect sense to me, but there's only suspect whom I think truly fits.

[Quietly, he presents a photo of Simon Birdlovingass Blackquill.]

[psycholawgy]

(I thought we were leaving this topic...)

[ ATHENA CHUCKS ANOTHER PILLOW AT HIM. And the final psychelock breaks. ]

[bewrightback]

[Phoenix gasps as he takes another fluffy blow to the face! Watch the hair!!

Then he looks on stoically as if that didn't happen.]

I see. So... That must be the truth. I'm sorry, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

I don't really know, okay, Mr. Wright?! But... But Simon makes me feel warm inside.

... Was it like that when you had a girlfriend?

[bewrightback]

[There's a nostalgic smile on his lips, as he thinks back to a simpler time... a simpler time that wound up actually being infinitely complicated.]

...Yeah, Athena, it kind of was. That's what it feels like... when you like something like that.

[psycholawgy]

It's so weird, Mr. Wright.

It feels nice, and my heart just flutters every time I'm with him, but-- it's still weird! I'm not used to it!

[bewrightback]

It can be weird, too. It must be even moreso when it's with someone whom you've known as a friend for so long.

If you give it time, maybe you will get more used to it. Then, whatever you do with these feelings... You can make sure that they're on your own terms.

[psycholawgy]

Don't ever, ever, ever tell anybody about this!

[bewrightback]

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

Your secret's safe with me, Athena. You can calm down now.
