How Unnecessary Is it?

Chapter 3: Come Back Memories

The most difficult thing for me is to point out things that he'd know. I don't really know everywhere he might remember. I just need to do what I can.

I remember that what he holds dear to him is seeing me. Maybe my presence is helping. That is entirely a possibility.

Then again it's possible it isn't. I really wouldn't know. I'm not Wright after all.

"Everything must seem pretty confusing doesn't it. Well Phoniex I can tell you anything you want to know. I'll try at least." Maybe this could pass the time. Besides it gives me more time to work on talking to people. Making small talk is something that I'm not great at.

"Well for one why is so much feel like ive been or seen it before yet so much feel like it makes no sense. You get what I'm saying?"

"Well it's because some part of you still remembers some part of you doesn't. Right now your confused I'm sure it will become much clearer for you. " I guessed that's what he was asking. It made perfect sense to me after all he didn't exactly remember completely everything.

"Is that ... Really what is going on."

"Yes Phoniex. I believe that it is. I will help you get your memory back. Then we can talk. About a few things. You'll understand when you remember I promise." I don't think it was the best idea to go around promising things but it will work either way. When he does remember I could do with having a chat with him. About a few things. Like the day I left or these feelings that just won't go away.

I cared about this man. More that I should. No scratch that just the amount I should.

"... I hope it comes back. What if it doesn't then what will happen to me?"

"If it doesn't come back Phoenix, then I will still be here for you. No matter how long it takes years months or even decades. I will not just give up on you. "

"You have a lot of hope in me don't you?" Phoenix if you were you. Well you are you just without those memories or yours. You wouldn't give up. You'd do the right thing no matter how silly it might seem at the time. You always seemed to get it right and never gave up. Why should I give up? That is something I could not do.

"Of course I do Phoenix why wouldn't I? After all someone once told me it's not over till you run out of every possible lead. Leaving only one answer. Its clear you're remembering small things. That is better than nothing."

Wright smiled at me. I felt warm. I guess looking at him doing that. Made me remember that he still trusts me, but not only that he's still in there.

"Thanks. Really I appreciate it."

"Its not a problem at all Phoenix." I looked at my phone hoping there was a message nothing. The detective must be caught up with something. Either that or he's trying to come up with a case even I can't solve. Small chance that would be. I can always come up with a logical solution to anything. If I put my mind to it.

"Is something the matter?"

"No don't worry about it. How about we go to my office for a moment." I knew he'd been to my office before. If I went to my office I could make a nice cup of tea. Rather than using that store bought brand that doesn't taste quite right to me.

"Your office?"

"I have an office. All higher ranked prosecutors have one. You've been in there before. When we get there we could have a cup of tea too."

"That sounds nice."

"I'm glad you like the sound of it." I walked with Wright a while before he asked me something that struck me as a little odd.

"Why don't you like that park too much?"

"You picked up on it. Its to do with a case that happened there. I was framed for murder, I used to think I'd done something years ago too. Turns out I was wrong about that. You were the defence attorney in that case."

"I was? I'm sorry I mustn't be helping being here." Why does he feel like he has to say sorry?

"You don't need to apologize. I quite enjoy having you around." Considering a lot of things. It was true I did like having him around. In this state Wright probably wouldn't know the entire meaning of it.

"Is this the office building! Its massive."

"I guess you could say that about any building of importance." I walked in letting Wright follow me. I looked at the elevator I despised them. However it was quicker. I concluded that talking the stairs was far more safe.

I opened the door to my office. It was spotless. The detective really had been cleaning the place while I had been gone.

"This office looks great. Is that a chess set. Hey this one is blue like what I'm wearing! And the red is like you." Wright laughed thinking about the fact that it did look like him. That was intentional. I wanted to pretend to beat him in court.

"Well maybe it is us then ." I smiled at him before getting tea. I remember something about the fact that I've never made Wright tea. I have no idea what he likes. I'll just make him something I think fits him well maybe that will be fine.

"It is? "

"Yes. Phoenix. I have a chess set that is made like that , so I can practice what I need to do in court."

"That's so sweet!" Sweet isn't the way I'd put it. I felt my face going red. He probably had no clue what he was doing. Still I find myself still in falling for him. Even in this state. Hey over yourself Edgeworth he doesn't know what he's saying right now.

"Here's your tea. Sorry I have no idea what you like but you might like that it's not the most fancy tea in the world. "

"Thanks so much Miles!" He used my name that's different. But good. I forgot about that letter I had wrote before I left. There it sat on the desk clearly had been soaked with tears the ink had ran on the page. Next to it there was some letters for me. I picked them up while Wright was sipping tea and put them in my pocket.

"How is it?"

"Hmm it's so nice."

"I'm glad you like it." Considering that's one of my cups he's drinking out of. In some ways that's an indirect kiss. Why am I even thinking about this.

My phone started ringing it was the detective. Finally I can try this fake case idea.
