--------------------
It was safe to say I was panicking. And this time, I didn't have anyone to help calm me down; Simon was at the courthouse, with the retrial of the UR-1 incident, Aura was at the Space Centre with hostages to get the trial to happen, and Clay was currently at the hospital in a coma after being attacked by the phantom. I was breathing heavily, and soon started to cry, and fell onto the floor. I was so caught up in my panic that I didn't hear the knock on the door or it opening and closing again until I felt arms wrap around my shoulder, "Come on, Pal, just let it all out." I dug myself into the loveable detective and sobbed, letting him rub my back to calm be down.

A few minutes later, my breathing was back to being relatively normal and I'd stopped crying.
"You want to talk about it, Pal?"
I smiled, thankful that it had been Gumshoe that was the one that found me and nodded, "I'm panicking because I'm just so nervous whether I'll actually get to see my brother, who means the whole world to me, because I look up to him, again, and my boyfriend is in the hospital in a coma and I don't know if he's going to wake up, and my sister, who has always been therefore me is at the Space Centre and I know that she's taken hostages to get this trial to happen to try to save Simon, and after the trial's conclusion, she'll be sent to jail for a period of time because of the hostage taking. And I don't know what to do." Before Gumshoe could say anything else there was another knock on my office door.
"Come in."
The door was opened and I squeaked at who was behind it, "Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth, Sir! W-what can I do for you, Sir?!" I squeaked, standing up from the ball I was in on the small sofa in my office.
"I'm not here to ask you to do something, I just came to tell you that you might want to go and see a certain someone in the hospital."
"Y-you mean...?"
"Yes, Mr Terran has woken up from his coma."
"Wait... how did you get to know before me?"
"Check your phone, Prosecutor. Detective Gumshoe, get back to your job before you get another pay cut."
Gumshoe squeaked, manly I might add, before dashing out my office. I turned back to Mr Edgeworth, "Sir, with all due respect, Detective Gumshoe was calming me down after a panic attack I had. So please don't get mad at him for 'not doing his job', but thank you for telling me that Clay has woken up, would it be okay if I go and see him now?"
"Of course, Prosecutor." I smiled widely and went to leave my office, before e called me back, "And (Y/n)."
"Y-yes sir?" I asked confused as that was the first time he'd called me by my first name.
