WrightWorth: Ace Attorney Bridge To The Turnabout "A Phoenix Rises From Pain"

"Investigating With Franziska And Phoenix"

'Hmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaah...'

phoenix ignored the sigh as he called out gently and poliety

'Sister Bikini?'

he greeted, bikini raised up her head, a little shocked to see him

'My my my! I didn't know you were here! How are you doing? Wa ha. Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaah...'

phoenix sat down across from her as franziska stood by the doorframe, crossing her arms as she listened carefully to their conversation

'it's alright to be upset you know, ..this is a very dark situation'

he said, bikini frowned as she spoke in grief, ..blaming herself for everything that had happened

'I... I suppose I've made a terrible mess of things, haven't I? I let Mystic Elise die, and then there's Iris as well...'

'it's not your fault, their was nothing you could've done, it's the killer's fault'

he explained, ...he's been in her shoes before, and honestly he was right, ..their was nothing she could've done, ..bikini listened to his words, ..but went on anyways

'There's an acolyte stuck at the Inner Temple... ...and that poor little girl has gone missing, too.'

phoenix's eyes widen at that, ..little girl, ..no no!!, not her too!!

'..o-oyst-pearls is still missing?!'

she nodded sadly

'Yes, I'm afraid I do! She hasn't been seen since the morning after the incident.'

phoenix gripped his hair in a stress like matter, ..oysters was like his own kid to him, ..if anything were to happen to her-..and violet was all the way out their!!, his vision started to get fuzzy, franziska could tell by his stress like matter he was going into a panic attack, so she quickly got into action, she walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder

'phoenix wright, ...stop gripping your hair and take a deep breathe, ...panicking is not going to help us'

though her words sounded harsh, her voice was gently and soft, phoenix slowly nodded as he let go of his raven hair, ...she was right, ..panicking wasn't going to do anyone any good, bikini pretended she didn't that as she went on

'I must be getting old... I think I've seriously lost faith in myself.'

'hey don't be so hard on yourself-'

he said, trying to comfort her, bikini however, cut him off

'You believe me then don't you? I'm not a liar! I would never lie! I know what I saw! I saw Iris pull that sword from Mystic Elise's body that night... I'm certain of it! At least, I was until this morning...'

'..why so unsure then?'

he asked her

'You know that artist who testified after me?, When I saw that man testify so fervently about something so impossible... ...I started to wonder if I had acted just like him when I was on the witness stand.'

'..I wouldn't take that idiot too seriously, trust me, he tends to be wrong about a lot'

he reassured her, then proceeded with his questions

'On the night of the incident, you met Iris at the Inner Temple. Is that correct?'

'That's right. I'm sure it was Iris, ...I knew I shouldn't have come back here that night..., now that poor girl is stuck at the Inner Temple, Eagle Mountain has always been prone to earthquakes, just so you know.'
