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

"The Photo Of Memories"

phoenix gently wrapped his black coat around maya to keep her warm, ..maya looked around the place as she held onto the coat

'Hazakura Temple...'

he nodded and explained why pearl would be in a place like this

'For oysters, this is a very important place'

'What's this? You're all back again so soon?, I thought we'd be eating mashed potatoes alone tonight'

maya's eyes widen at her words, ..did that mean pearl was here

'S-So she's here? Pearly is here...?'

bikini nodded

'She's in the Training Hall. Why don't you hurry along and go see her?'

'thank you sister'

phoenix said polity as he very gently took maya's hand and slowly lead her towards their, ..he felt how tightly she held onto him, when they got inside of the temple, maya frowned, ..pearl wasn't here

'Pearly's not here...,Ah...!The hanging scroll!,  Someone cleaned it off...'

'oysters was here then-'

'Aaaaaaaaaah! Mystic Maya!, Mr. Nick!!'

the two adults turned their heads towards the entrance, maya ran up to her as she got on her knees, hugging her tight

'P-Pearly...! Why... Why did you just leave like that?'

phoenix got on his knees as he patted pearl's head

'pearl what have i said about running off?!'

'Mr.Nick!!, Mystic Maya... Mystic Mayaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'

she sobbed out, crying in both of their chest's, the two comforted her as they whispered comforting words into her ears, soothing her down

'I swore... I swore that I would never trouble the two of you ever again. Because... It's all my fault that... Mystic Maya's mother...!'

phoenix gently took pearl by her shoulders as he firmly, but very gently stated

'oysters listen to me very carefully, what happened wasn't your fault, it was your mother's fault'

'b-but i-'

'nick is right pearly, It wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Of course I'm sad that my mother is gone... But... how do I say this? I... I'm still happy'

she said with a very faint smile, pearl sniffled 

'Y-You don't have to lie just to make me feel better!'

she shook her head at her

'No, really... It's true... The only reason I'm still here at all is thanks to everyone who was there for me'

pearl looked up at her with her big beautiful, tear filled eyes

'My sis, my mother, Mr. Armando, Nick... And... you. If even one of you weren't there, I'm sure I wouldn't still be alive right now. That's why... I have to be strong. For all the people that were there for me when I needed them. That's all I can really do.'

pearl latched onto her as she sniffled

'M-Mystic Maya...'

'I'm impressed... You truly are the daughter of Mystic Misty'

bikini praised, walking inside, maya and phoenix looked up at her

'Your mother, Mystic Misty, was a strong woman indeed. I want to tell you what she said to me that night., "After dishonoring the good name of Kurain, I don't have the right to face my daughter. But still... Maya is always in my thoughts. It's true... She'll always be with me, until the day I die...", Your spirit was with her... That's why your mother was so strong. Even at the end... I'm sure she had no regrets.'

she gently placed a hand ontop of maya's heart, offering her comfort however she could, maya frowned sadly as she hid her face a little in phoenix's chest, ..she ears perked up when he suddenly spoke up

'"She'll always be with me, until the day I die", ...violet, There's a rule or something all Masters are to follow, isn't there? To never take the charm off until the day you die...'

he asked her, then taking out the charm from his bag, pearl gawked at it

'Th-That's the Master's Talisman...'

'The thing that your mother kept by her heart and would never take off, It wasn't the container that was important, it was the contents of it, look'

while he was looking over the evidence last night,  ..he found a little photo inside, everyone's eyes widen, maya recogized it at once

'Ah...! M... ...Mother...'

it was a photo of mia and maya when they were little kids, ..maya had broken the urn by accident, and mia was helping her trying to fix it, ..and their mother caught them and took a picture of them both.., phoenix gave the charm and the photo to maya, and then, picked pearl up in his arms

'come on oysters, were gonna celebrate'

pearl however, shook her head, ..her training

'B-But... I-I still can't-'

bikini then chimed in with a smile

'..Oh, go on, sweetie. You can come back for training anytime'

pearl stuttered a bit, but then smiled a little

'Um... OK!'

maya cheered as she smiled, determined as ever, ...she was ready to accept her part of a spirit medium, ..if nick can become a lawyer after everything, ...who's to say she can't become an awesome spirit medium

'Alright! I'm going to make a brand new start, too! Sister Bikini! I'll be back for more training! I promise!'

'I know, and I won't go easy on you just because you're the future Master. I'll make sure to prepare reservations for two for when you come back! Wa ha ha ho ho ho hee hee hee!'

he promised as she laughed, Phoenix thanked her for her kind service before they all headed off back to tres bien, bikini smiled as she watched them leave, ...happy to know misty fey's family was being well taken care of
