At the Mooring Dock...

Phoenix: Maybe we can find Pierce around here somewhere.

(Y/N): And if not?

Phoenix: Well-

???: Ah, Mr. Wright, Mr. (L/N), and Ms. Fey.

Nichody showed up.

(Y/N): Nichody. Perfect timing!

Nichody: I'm sorry for Master Sorin's sudden departure earlier. You have my sincerest apologies.

Phoenix: It was totally understandable, really. But shouldn't you be at his side right now?

Nichody: It's fine. The other servants are with him, and I am in constant contact with them. Do not forget to give him his pain medication, and be sure to keep him hydrated. Also, see to it that he is not up and about. He needs complete bed rest. I must return to Master Sorin now, but... ...did you want something of me?

(Y/N): Well, Sorin dropped his notebook.

Nichody: Oh. Thank you very much for this. I will see to it personally that Master Sorin gets it back.

He takes it back.

Nichody: I trust you did not look inside?

(Y/N): Of course not!

Nichody: Because it is filled with numerous patent-worthy ideas, you see.

Phoenix: Look, I know you're busy, but would you mind if we asked you a few questions about the case?

Nichody: Well, as I said, I must be getting back to Master Sorin. So if you could make it quick, I would greatly appreciate it.

(Y/N): Got it! We can do that! First: I'd like to ask you about the cover-up you tried to pull off, if you don't mind.

Nichody: I told everything there is to tell in court already. Disposing of anything that may harm the Sprocket family's reputation... ...is simply a part of my job. I have nothing more to say on the matter. I will say, I do not think it's wise to spend time on topics that have already been discussed.

(Y/N): Okay then. Do you know anything about the accident?

Nichody: Where did you find that...? And did I not already tell you about that accident?

(Y/N): You did. But we know now that Dumas Gloomsbury was driving the car!

Nichody: Oh? Did I not mention that? I suppose it simply did not come up then.

Phoenix: If Mr. Gloomsbury caused the accident... ...why didn't the Sprocket family fire him? Wouldn't that usually be the natural consequence of such a huge mistake?

Nichody: Please do not misunderstand. Gloomsbury stayed on with the family... ...on Master Sorin's request.

Everyone: HUH?!

Nichody: That is the type of person Master Sorin is. Perhaps it was the influence of Miss Selena's kind nature. She was such a sweet person that even in her last moments, she thought of Master Sorin.

(Y/N): He kept him around?!

Phoenix: Were you present during those last moments?

Nichody: Yes, in my professional capacity... The accident happened on the way to a certain party.

(Y/N): What kind?

Nichody: It was Miss Selena's engagement party. Gloomsbury's injuries were minor, but Miss Selena's and Master Sorin's were critical. They were brought to the Sprocket family's regular hospital. Thanks to the surgeon in charge, Master Sorin pulled through. But Miss Selena... She...
