He smiled lightly. “That’s nice of you.” he remarked. “It’s important to look after those who are important to you, isn’t it? It’s too bad you weren’t able to do much to look after her, considering your deceased status and all.”
He darted his eyes to the ground when she mentioned trusting people.
“Yeah… you don’t have to tell me twice, Mia, or erm, Ms. Fey. I’ve learned the hard way not to be so trusting of people.

“Well, I’ve only met Mr. Edgeworth once, in the usual way, and that wasn’t too long ago, so I can’t make any opinions on how he was. I did hear nasty stuff about him. People around the police department do talk after all. I think he’s gotten better now, at least. I mean, he solved my murder, so I can’t hold much against him, right?” he said sheepishly. It was a unique situation that Buddy was in. Not many men and women can claim, while being alive, that their murder had been solved. Such was the peculiar fate Buddy had met with.
