Edgeworth's House

I put down my phone and check my schedule, pretending as though it's for work reasons, so I feel as if I'm working. I should be free to meet Wright and Larry. Not that I'm particularly happy to see either.

Does Larry even have money? It's not as though I can't pay for him, I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to. It took him fifteen years to pay me back and whenever Wright is his attorney I don't think he gets paid for the job. I guess I'm going to pay, it doesn't hurt to be nice though I'd rather do my good deeds when people don't have to thank me in person. I hate social interaction.

Then it suddenly dawned on me, that lunch is also a social interaction in general. I'll have to actually talk to the two. I already said I'm free so I can't make up plans and just run away. Actually, I could definitely think of some lie to tell to get out of this. That comforts me a little, knowing I'm not totally stuck with Wright and Larry. It should be okay.

I drag my hand down my face and let out a long sigh. Why on God's green Earth did I agree to this? I can already feel myself getting uneasy and it's not even today. What is wrong with me?

I make some tea, hoping to calm my nerves. I should cancel, tell them I'm not feeling well. It's not necessarily a lie because I'm not, though it's anxiety hurting my stomach and not an illness. I don't even know where we are going, who left Larry to plan lunch? He can't plan. I doubt he even has a schedule. I should just call Wright and tell him that I can't go and that we should reschedule this. Then I can be the one making plans so I'd actually know everything I need to.

I sigh again, deciding I'm just being dramatic.
