No, simply making an observation. I haven’t seen my own Phoenix sick in several years.
Oh... Really? Well, lucky him! Being sick isn't fun.
I get colds every time near this time of year, and I had the flu a few months ago. I guess I'm just unlucky, huh? Right when I let up the bug attacks me.
(Was I really that moony-eyed as a student…? It’s almost appalling to see how completely ‘Dollie’ had me hooked. This guy, me, is head over heels for her…) “So it’s never occurred to you to give it back to her? She may be shy, but what if she really, really needs that necklace back or something?”
"Who knows? She might be getting desperate when she sees you literally clinging to her precious gift…"
Phoenix was a lot of things. But being oblivious when someone was trying to lead up to a point wasn't one of them.
"... What are you trying to say?" He blinked, then his eyes widened. "Y-you're not trying to say something bad about my Dollie, are you!?"
…you really were miserable when you were sick at this age, weren’t you?
Huh?
If you're asking if I get sick a lot, well... Yeah. I get kind of careless when winter transitions to spring...
Phoenix glanced at the necklace that was dangled before him and winced. It was a bottle literally brimming with bad memories--of his idiocy, his agonizingly gullible idiocy. But seeing himself, in college form, holding the medallion as though a pennant of affection, and grinning ever stupidly at that, was simply too much to handle. "You're saying it's a special symbol to you?" he said evenly. "Did I get that right?"
"Yup!" Phoenix didn't hesitate with his happy chirp. "It's a symbol of my love for Dollie! She's so shy -- she asks for it back, but I keep it with me all the time anyway! I show it to everyone I meet, too. I can't help it! Dollie just makes me so happy!"
( Doesn’t much notice Phoenix at first either, a little wrapped up in his thoughts. He gives an audible sigh and moves to sit on a nearby bench. A part of him wishes it would rain. )
[ And he doesn't. Phoenix is startled by a sigh somewhere near him, looking around -- before he spots Miles and his eyes widen.
... Then he cleverly drops his paints on himself. ]
Augh--!
( Edgeworth is moping about the courthouse yard now. )
[ For once Phoenix is alone. He's moving outside with an easel and paints -- and he doesn't notice Edgeworth at first. ]
I can’t imagine when you would have had the opportunity.
O-okay. That makes me feel a little better...I-I think.
[ sniffle ]
When I was younger, I believed that cutting ties to my past was the only way to go. I did get the letters. I just didn’t respond.
... So I didn't do anything wrong?
To me or in general?
To, um, you. I guess the other you... But since you seem to know all about me, I would think it's the same...
…yes, well, I’m not sure I should tell you how that turned out.
Maybe not.
... But can I know if I did something wrong?
[Oh boy.]
S’joke son, a joke. A joke I say.
[After quoting an old cartoon, Phoenix tucks his I.D. back into his wallet.] Would you rather I have lied to you and then come out with the truth? I mean, who else has this hair? Who else has these weird eyebrows?
(We’re not going to mention Tigre.)
... No one.
Th-this is just so strange. I'm... I'm literally 'talking to myself'.
“…I wouldn’t be too surprised, honestly. This has become the norm around here, anymore.”
"Th-that doesn't make any sense...
"You look almost exactly like me..."
And even though you V A N I S H E D from my life, I still have the M E M O R I E S that you L ̶E̶ F͟ ͢T͡ ̷ B E H͏ I҉ ̷N ͡D͡
No, I was simply the only fifteen-year-old in the world who preferred people call me ‘Mr. Edgeworth’ over my first name. But it’s simple enough for me to respect your wishes.
O-okay... Thank you.
You're a lot more receptive than...than the Miles I know. I've tried to contact him tons of times, but he's never returned any of my calls or emails...
[ /anxious hand-wringing ]
Blue phone box.
[Okay, he hasn’t seen the Doctor in a long time but he still had connections.]
B-blue phone box?
[ Honestly the younger one looks like he's about to pass out. What is this. ]
This is trippy.
"Well —" (Obviously not your phoenix. Don’t make this awkward.) "No. I’ve heard about you though."
Phoenix's eyes lit up. "Oh?" He was just a college student. What business does this guy have hearing about him?
Oh, my sweetheart…I was going to go, but I-I just couldn’t bring myself to go without you! So I needed to come back to you, Feenie. My heart broke at the thought of seeing all that beautiful art without you by my side…
(I would rather have a noose thrown about my neck once more than ever have to say that disgusting drivel again.)
How are you feeling?
Ah! That's really sweet of you, Dollie! Of course, I wouldn't expect anything else from you...
[ She's pretty effectively pulled the wool over his eyes. Poor guy. ]
I-I'm still not my best, but...I'll be okay! Especially now that you're here! How about you, my precious Dollie~?
