Journal Entry: March 29

Three days.

Three GODDAMN days.

Somewhere, someone has just taken three days out of my life. I don't know what they did or why they did it. But because of whatever they did to me in those three days, the stupidest, easiest tasks are suddenly impossible for me to do. They didn't just damage my brain, they TOOK parts of it. Can't write, can't make a sandwich, can't tie my damn TIE...

I'm going to find them. I'm going to find them, and I'm going to drag the truth out if it kills me. They thought if they erased my memory, they could bury what they did, but they can't. They messed with the wrong lawyer.

I WILL find them. And I will reveal them for who they are, and what they did.

Huh? Well, yeah. If you were to, say, take some food, drink, or whatever that was LOLed, it usually stays LOLed even back home. There's occasional exceptions, but that's generally the rule. Why do you ask?

Yeah, uh, thanks. (This is really, REALLY embarrassing.)

Looks like it. I'm sure Maya won't complain. I see a lot of burgers in my future.

I'm just asking out of curiousity, that's all. Nothing you should worry about, Nick. You're just helping me with a personal investigation.

Hehe. Oh Nick, at least you aren't complaining about me helping you.

Well, at least it's not T-Bone steaks. Otherwise, you'd be broke by the end of the week.

Um, if you say so, Chief. [Why do I get the feeling she's not telling me everything?]

Well, the way I figure, the sooner I remember how to do this stuff the better. I certainly can't look any MORE stupid.

Yeah. Boy, T-Bone steaks. You should've seen her salivating during one of my investigations. The cast and crew of the studio we were looking into had apparently had t-bone steaks for lunch. You'd be surprised how handy that was.

Of course. Don't worry your spiky-haired head over me, Nick. I'm just trying to get information on the Nexus.

Don't jinx yourself there. At least things are starting to improve.

I can imagine. If you don't watch Maya carefully, her appetite will empty your wallet. Of course, there's other things than food that she spends money on. I'm her sister, so I'm coming from personal experience, at least form the way my Maya acts.

Okay. Let me know if you have anything else you need to ask about, or that I can help you with, okay?

Oh, yes, I forgot about Murphy's Law for a minute there. Silly me.

Yeeeeeah, that sounds about right. I swear she ate half the banquet we got after we saved her. It was... amazing. And then there's her various collections of hero toys...

Well...there is one last thing I want to ask you about. What can you tell me about Edgeworth? We met once a while back in the Nexus and well, our conversation didn't end well.

Looks like someone needs to get back to studying. I'm just kidding actually.

Oh yes. Her collection of Steel Samurai toys is unearthly. She actually has me buy them for her and then send to Kurain Village afterwards.

Phoenix, you haven't seen anything yet until you have a toy-store clerk giving you funny looks for buying figures. Especially if you give them the excuse that it's for your little sister.

About... Edgeworth? Um, well he's a good guy underneath, but he has a bad habit of internalizing things, I think. When I first saw him after so many years, he tended to just avoid whatever was bothering him instead of actively facing it, either through work or whatever. Which makes sense, considering his background, but it made for some tough work in trying to get him to talk -- or even let me defend him. He's just recently started really opening up now that he's found out Von Karma's method of doing things was wrong, and that a demon of his past has been slain.

What else... uh, he gets behind whatever he's doing one hundred percent, that's for certain. It's a trait he had even as a kid. He's kind of arrogant, but I suppose growing up in a rich family will do that. But he's very helpful if he's not the one up against you in court. That's about it, I think... I'm still trying to figure him out more myself.

Yeesh. I think I know what look you're talking about.

Hmm, so that's why he...

Phoenix, you've helped me out so much just now. I'll pay you back for all of this information in the future. This is just what I needed to solve something I was working on. Now I just need to get that last thing resolved...

Yeah. Glad that we see eye to eye there. Tell your Maya I said hi when you see her next anyways.

Solve something... involving Edgeworth? What?

...No no, never mind. I get the feeling you don't really wanna discuss it with me, for some reason. (You know that's going to drive me nuts, though.) Just... um, whatever it is, you know you can talk to me about things, right? Okay.

Will do.

...He's suffering inside, and I have to find out why. Because I've made a commitment to myself to help him.

Phoenix, you're correct. I can't tell you all or any of what's going on. I have to solve this by myself for personal reasons. I'm sorry. But, I want you to know, that you've helped out so much just now. Thank you.

...I should get going. I have one last person to talk to before I can close the cover on this case.

...okay. I'm not sure I understand the details, but...

I'll see you later, then.

Listen, I can't tell you it for a reason. And please, if you're going to try and find out what's going on, don't mention my name. Especially to Edgeworth.

...Yeah. I'll see you around, Phoenix.
