Wright's Office, a Few Weeks Later
(I forgot the time of which these two happened please forgive me 😭😭 but this is probably where it gets less canonical)
I walk into Miles' office, I've tried calling him countless times and he wouldn't answer the phone, which isn't unusual, but I just have a bad feeling this time.
There's a note on his desk, and I know I shouldn't snoop but...
"Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death."
I stare at the note, rereading it over and over and over. He wouldn't... Would he? My chest becomes tight and I feel a knot forming in my throat. I rush out, what do you do in a situation like this?
No, no, no. This could not be happening. No. He wouldn't. Not Edgeworth. He wouldn't take this way out... Right?
I'm back in my office, somehow. I don't know. My thoughts are too fast and blurry. I sit in my office chair and cover my face with my hands, I feel the tears on my cheeks and realize I've been crying. I could call Larry, but I don't think I can handle that right now. I just sat there, letting myself cry.
I blink back into reality, I'm not sure if I fell asleep or not, but I sure wasn't alert. According to the clock it's been two hours since I found his note. His name hurts.
I wish I didn't know him. I wish I never met him, if I hadn't of talked to him none of this would've happened. Deep down I know I don't mean this, but I'm hurt and for now I feel he deserves my anger.
I call his number and wait for the beep of the voicemail.
"You're so stupid! Why didn't you talk to me? Why didn't you... Why? Why did you? I could've... I- I should've-" My voice cracks and I hang up. It's not like he's listening to it anyway.
I angrily wiped my tears, just mad now, mad at myself for not being able to stop it, mad at Edgeworth for doing it, mad at Larry because I know I can't talk to him, mad at Mia Maya for not being here, just mad at the whole world.
My chest feels empty and heavy at the same time, the dumb knot in the back of my throat won't leave and I can't think. I look around my office, hoping for any kind of distraction. My eyes wander to where I found Mia dead.
I suddenly got up, it's not different from any other day and yet I can't stand it right now. I can't stand everyone dying all the time. Mia's dead. Edgeworth's dead. It's like "oh yeah if Wright likes you I guess you got to die!" I don't know what the fuck I did, but the universe is against me. Fuck, even Dollie died.
I'm still not even sure what I'm feeling. I feel like I'm feeling everything and nothing all at once. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest and yet it's still there hanging heavy. I'm confused. I'm lost. I just need to go.
Where am I supposed to go? I live in my office, I have no car, barely any friends...So I guess I have to face Larry. Don't get me wrong, he's a great friend but he can be a bit...much. Maybe because of that he'll keep my mind off things...
