Dear Athena,

Do you know where to find a newspaper?

Dear Apollo,

Don't worry, Apollo! I'll save you!

Dear Trucy,

Next time, use a rolled-up newspaper or anything that won't risk any injury. Thanks.

Dear Trucy,

Couldn't you have used something softer like a shoe or belt?

Then again, not sure if either of those options would've been better.

They would've been better to me at least.

Dear Trucy,

..............

.......

Right. Could you... remember to use a rolled-up newspaper next time?

(Just in case one lands on my head or Maya's head. I'd like my head to not be knocked by a frying pan.)

Dear Anonymous,

Never got adopted and I don't know if I'd have adopted Miles.

I suppose if he really needed a legal guardian and didn't have one.

Dear Anonymous,

Papa never adopted Miles. He did offer, but Miles declined.

- Franziska von Karma

Dear Anonymous,

Oh, von Karma never adopted Miles. Believe me, if he had, I wouldn't have thought of Miles as a traitor. I'd still be angry about it, but I think I'd be more angry at myself for not preventing it.

As much as I would love for Detective Badd to adopt Miles, I don't think it's what he wanted or wants. I don't blame him. He made his choices, good or bad, and he came out alright. That's what matters.

Dear Anonymous,

About that... Manfred von Karma never adopted my son. He only took in Miles as a ward. He did offer to adopt Miles, but he respectfully declined.

Manfred von Karma was a father figure to Miles, but that was all. He was mostly a mentor.

(Though, I wouldn't have rejected him adopting Miles, if he did accept. I'm grateful Mr. von Karma was willing to look after my son when I couldn't.)

Dear Anonymous,

Mr. von Karma never adopted me and neither would Detective Badd. Mr. von Karma took me in as his ward. There's a difference. One requires me changing my surname to von Karma and becoming a part of the family and inheritance. The other is the teacher offering the student room and board in exchange for his service.

So, to answer your question: It would never happen, because I never aimed to be a detective. I wanted to be a lawyer. I just simply changed the type of lawyer I wanted to be, because that was what was available to me. Mostly, because technically, I did know Mr. von Karma before Father died, as we did meet up in the Lobby and took interest in him based on how he conducted himself against my father. My father raised me to respect authority and Prosecutors alike. He never spoke illy of Mr. von Karma.

(I'm certain that's why Mr. von Karma never knew I was my father's child. I'm certain he expected father to raise me into believing Prosecutors were foolish, but it couldn't be further from the truth.)

Dear Dawsongfg,

Oh, don't you be trying to play the innocent card, Mister. I'm a lawyer and I've kept your records. Like this that you said before asking your so called "simple question."

You were pushing her buttons and she warned you. You don't get to claim you were asking a simple question when she warned you beforehand.

And this was in response to this letter done by someone else I also warned in a different letter. You knew what you were doing.

Moral of the story: don't mess with my coffee and donuts. Capeesh?

Dear Askbrokenage,

You're a funny one, aren't you?

Dear Askbrokenage,

I think it's time you found something more productive to do in life, in my opinion.

Dear Doctor76,

Awwww, that's a sweet thing to say to Larry.

- Maya Fey

Dear Doctor76,

I'm sure Larry would appreciate that.

(So long as he doesn't get out of hand.)
