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

"Secrets..."

phoenix couldn't sleep, ..he sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, ..he needed some fresh cold air to hit his face, ..that always soothed him, he got up and leaved the hall, sitting on the snow as he looked at the view before him, ...despite the scary heights, ..the view was beautiful, and their were so many stars out, ..he held onto his locket as he looked up at the skies

"..mei would've loved this, ...so many beautiful stars.."

'oh mr wright'

he shot his head up a little, tilting it to the side, ..elise Deauxnim

'you came for fresh air too?'

he asked, she smiled as she shook her head

'oh no. But... Have you seen Pearl?'

she asked, looking around, he shook his head a little

'no i'm sorry, I thought she said she was going to go to your room...'

'I know... But she never showed up. I-I'm going to go look for her. ...Excuse me'

phoenix stood up as he offered her his assistance, ..he was scared about pearl, where was she?!, she had tendencies to run off to places without thinking

'do you need to help you find her?, i don't mind really-'

'no no, it's alright, by the way, mr wright, ...i just want to say, ...you do a wonderful job of taking care of both of them, ..thank you for that'

and with that, she left, ..phoenix frowned as he furrowed his brows, ...that woman, ...who was she?!, he was cut off from his thoughts again when the doors opened it

'oh...'

phoenix didn't say anything as iris poilety said

'G... G-Good evening...'

phoenix eyed her as he asked

'You're Sister Iris, right?'

'..Yes.'

'when did you come to Hazakura Temple?'

he asked her, crossing his arms, iris looked off to the side, then back at him as she awsnered

'... I don't remember. Ever since I was a small child, the temple has been my home.'

'never left?'

he guessed

'Well, I don't have any family left to take care of me... Sister Bikini... I've come to think of her as my real mother, as it were.'

phoenix took that in, ...she never went to ivy university, ..and it didn't look like she was lying, but he decided to be discrate about it

'ever thought about getting another type of education?'

she shook her head

'My training is all the education I need., But... Once in a while, when I get the chance, I make a trip to the nearby town. I can use a computer and a cell phone, too'

phoenix looked around the place and at the temple before he asked

'I heard this place is for training to increase your spiritual power?'

'It must seem awfully crazy to normal people like you.'

she guessed, to his surprise he shook his head

'my little sister is a spirit medium, that and i don't judge what other people do, ..but i will admit it is different'

'..I'm glad to hear you say that, Talking with dead people... Who does it help anyway? ...I hate it'

she said, phoenix eyed her very skeptical, ..why was she here then?!, why not leave this place?!, ..but then again, why was it any of his business, ..maybe it was because she loved bikini to much as a mother to leave her alone up here in the mountains?, ..or maybe because she was afriad of how people would treat her had she gone to the real world, ...either way, ..he didn't really care, it was her life, not his

'Ah...'

she suddenly realized something

'something wrong?'

'I-I didn't realize it was so late. I have to go and ring the bell for lights out..., ... Um... Mr. Wright?'

she suddenly said, phoenix was now very suspious, ...she knew him, ...she called him by his name, ..

'yeah?'

'If it's alright with you... I would like you to have this.'

she said as she took off her hood and gave it to him, he eyed her

'It has the power to protect you from evil spirits.'

phoenix sighed as he wrapped the hood around his wrist

'I pray for your safety on this dark, cold night, I'm sorry, but I must bid you goodnight-'

'you know me!, you called me "mr. wright" I never introduced myself to you'

he called her out for it, iris stuttered a bit as she didn't know what to say

'Th-That's...'

'you and i met before haven't we!?'

their it was, ...five physc-locks, ..he forgot to give back maya's magatma after she told him to hold it for awhile so she wouldn't lose it

'iris!'

'O-Oh! It-It's almost 10:00... Perhaps we can speak again... tomorrow.'

and with that, she left, he sighed as he let her be, for now, he sat back down on the hold, playing with his locket in his hands, staring back up at the nightsky, ..the amount of secrets these two woman had...., who where they?
