euphoria (miles edgeworth x reader)

twenty two

Just seeing the prison scared me.

I've been in here for about a day and a half, and I was already wanting to die.

Death seems so much better right now.

I felt despair.

Everything was fading away from me.

My best friend just died, I can't even see my boyfriend, and....and....

Now I know how Maya felt.

Being falsely accused and being held like a criminal.

I hated it.

"Miss Fey. Someone's here to see you." A police officer said, and opened the cell door for me to walk out.

Huh...?

I stood up, trying not to burst into tears.

At least someone wanted to see me.

It was probably another police officer wanting to interrogate me.

As I walked down the hallway, I looked at the other prisoners.

Were they falsely accused as well? Did they feel despair like me? Maybe they were actual murderers?

Walking into the detention center, I saw the person who I would least suspect to wanna see me.

Miles. And Gumshoe.

I sat down in the chair. "I'm sorry you have to see me like this.."

"Aya.." Miles said.

"I didn't kill him, Miles..." I said.

"Hes not dead, Aya. He's in a temporary coma."

"A...coma..?" I looked up.

"Exactly. Hes not dead, Aya."

"Aya, I've come here to ask you a few questions. I wanna know the full story, okay? First, tell me about what happened." He said softly.

"We ate dinner...and...he started choking after taking a bite. I should've helped him, but instead, I called 911..."

"Would you rather of risked death due to bad skill?"

I sighed. "Then I got arrested on the spot.."

Miles looked at Gumshoe with a glare, and he flinched.

"I-I was just doing my j-job, sir! If I knew she had relation to you..." Gumshoe sighed.

"Aya. Do you know what he choked on?" Miles asked, looking back at me.

"No...I guessed it was the lettuce he was eating.." I looked back down.

"It was rat poison. Were you aware he owned this?"

"No...wait...he got poisoned?!" I jolted up, tears welling up in my eyes.

"He's gonna be okay. He's not dead. Sit back down, please."

I did as he told me to do.

"I didn't poison him.." I looked down again.

"I know you didn't, Aya darling."

"Are you gonna prosecute me...?"

"No. I'm only investigating. Franziska is gonna prosecute you."

"Whip lady? Oh boy...she shows no mercy.." Gumshoe said.

"Watch your salary." Miles said, causing Gumshoe to yelp.

That poor detective...

"Who's defending me? Phoenix can't, hes in a coma....and yknow who's can't...no one knows about their secret."

"I'm not quite aware of who is defending you...I would like to guess someone we've never met."

I sighed.

"Miles...you believe I didn't poison him...right..?" I looked up at him.

"Of course, Aya darling." He put his hand on the screen dividing us.

"You're too much of a sweet girl. You wouldn't hurt anyone. You're not afraid, right?" He asked, keeping his on the screen.

"I don't know yet." I put my hands on the table.

He laid silent, probably thinking of something to say.

I put my hand on the screen as well, mirroring his.

"You'll get out of here soon." He said softly.

"Please be telling the truth.." I sniffled.

I could see the sorrow...the pain...laying on his face.

"You'll be okay." He said.

Gumshoe, as well, was feeling sorrow. Matter of fact, he was on the verge of tears.

"Your times up. Please, come with me to return to your cell." The police officer announced.

"I'll see you soon.." Miles said, removing his hand from the screen and leaving.

I walked out, head down.

Who would poison him...?
