Summary
At one point, the Wright & Co. Law Offices was as much a reflection of Phoenix Wright as the polished badge pinned to his lapel. A thorn in Miles’ side, a reminder of what he could’ve been. Reckless. Brilliant. Free.
“Been a while,” he smirks, and Miles can't help but think there was a time when—regardless how long he was away—the man before him would greet his person with unfettering normalcy. That comfort is absent now; what remains of their familiarity threatens to disperse with one improper show of his hand. "What brings you?"
The building stands before him, unlit, a spectre of what he once thought would shine forever. “Proper etiquette suggests it’s rude to keep guests waiting at your door.”
“You want me to let you in?”
A few strands of Miles’ hair rustle with the wind. “Will you let me?”

Summary
An errant strand of jet black hair bobs to and fro as he pores over Miles’ face. "Edgeworth? You with me?"
He’s surrounded by an emulsified blurb of noises: easy laughs, accompanying shouts, a beat. Miles isn’t feeling quite up to a lengthy conversation about his rationale, not when he’s hell bent on convincing himself that Wright is happy, he is happy, that the fire brewing inside of him is a fluke, and that perhaps it was time for him to move forward with his therapy sessions—
“I was asking why you did it.”
If he were to tell Wright that he already knew the answer: that he'd been spurred into action due to his creed, his pursuit of justice, he knows he’d only be propagating a half-truth. A secret by omission. In other words, a lie. “I wanted to help you,” he says, earnestly.
Wright's shoulders rise and fall, an even rhythm. He takes a deep breath in, and the silence scatters. “Why?”
Miles Edgeworth does not long for more than he’s already been given.
Sometimes, though, he thinks about it.
