[usefulanalysis]

Oh! C'mon, what did you get?!

[Don't leave her hanging...]

text; a little after their event thread!

[geophile]

I owe you a tremendous apology, not to mention my gratitude.

[usefulanalysis]

Don't mention it. Are you alright?

[geophile]

I'll do more than mention it. You exemplified tremendous bravery when I could not, and that deserves proper recognition.

I'd like to say so, but I'm not quite myself. Whatever that thing was, it... affected me, somehow.

[usefulanalysis]

Something got to you. It's what ghosts do, Steven.

I'm sorry you were hurt by them, though. I just did what I could.

[geophile]

That shouldn't excuse my cowardice. If I were under full control of my actions, I would have fought by your side. You can guarantee that for next time.

[ assuming how things have gone so far in this place, the only thing he can do is expect a "next time". ]

I'll be laying low for the next few days. With luck, this will wear off.

[usefulanalysis]

Let me know if there's anything I can do. I can make sure you have food and supplies at least.

[geophile]

Appreciated, but not necessary. I'm an adult - I can at least take care of myself for a few days.

Focus on keeping yourself safe. Don't put yourself in danger unless it absolutely can't be avoided.

[usefulanalysis]

Alright. Good luck.

[pollygrapher]

Something about sweater modeling and joining the police force.

[Purposely leaving some details out, don't mind him.]

If the city doesn't need lawyers like me and Mr. Wright, the police force sounds like the best option right now.

text.

[psycholawgy]

So, you're from my world, right?

Did Mr. Wright have a girlfriend back in your time?

voice.

[usefulanalysis]

[No she's totally NOT from your world Athena. You're so damn weird that you have to come from outer space. :')

But she does answer text with voice, animated and excited...]

Yeah! Not in my time, but I know he had a girlfriend before he met me! And she's here!

[psycholawgy]

[ rude af punk o9!! ]

Iris, right? Or did he have another girlfriend?!

[usefulanalysis]

Oh no it's Iris! That's the only girl I know about anyway. I mean, I know he was close to Maya and Mia...but not like that. And my sister's way too old for him.

[Shut up Ema]

[psycholawgy]

Oh my gosh, no! I would never let Mr. Wright get that close to Miss Maya!

[ good lord that sounds so terrible for her!! SO DIRTY. PUT THOSE THOUGHTS AWAY. ]

[usefulanalysis]

I mean, they aren't that far apart in age. Not like you and him.

[It's kinda the same thing as her and Edgeworth. Same age and all.

Buuuuut, I definitely know about Iris. And that's where his heart lies.

[psycholawgy]

Why hasn't he told me anything about her, though?

I mean, I only found out about the two of them when Iris told me.

[usefulanalysis]

Because...[She drawls a little.] That was when he was in college. You know, when Ms. Fey was still alive. And uh...Iris is in prison, Athena. He didn't think he'd ever meet her again.

[Which may be more of their personal life than she should divulge but if Athena's an assistant too, and somehow younger than her despite being...timelines are shit.]

[psycholawgy]

What?!

[ UM?????

that was also a very loud what. ]

[usefulanalysis]

Don't yell!

[DUDE. It's right next to her ear!]

You didn't know?

[psycholawgy]

No way! Not at all!

[usefulanalysis]

Oh. Geez...um.

[Slow down, put the brakes on, Ema. and LOCK THE FEED]

Athena, what do you know about her, exactly?

[psycholawgy]

She's Miss Maya's cousin?

[ yeah. that's it, really! ]

[usefulanalysis]

That's...it?

[Ema rubs the bridge of her nose. This is going to become a reflexive gesture in the future, she can tell. Spare her, God.]

Well. You're not wrong there. But...actually you're a lawyer, so you might have heard about the case. Dahlia Hawthorne ring a bell? [Edgeworth had explained in great detail, as had Iris. Ema was very relentless in pursuit of this.]

[psycholawgy]

[ ha ha... that's especially funny, because as a child, athena hardly left her house. and then growing up, she spent her years out of the country so. ]

No, I haven't heard about a case related to Iris at all. Nor of this Dahlia person.

[ sounds important, though. ]

Maybe I should ask boss.
