iris smiled as she greeted very polity, happy to have miles as her defense
'Thank you for coming. ...My name is Iris.'
miles nodded as he introduced himself next, he was a little taken aback by her looks..., but kept on a smooth face
'...Edgeworth. Miles Edgeworth. I don't know if I can be of any help, but... ...I will at least hear what you have to say. ...About the murder'
he offered, he then saw how iris frowned as she looked off to the side, having on a worried expression
'um...'
miles raised his brow at her, ..then her cried out in worry, stuttering on her words, like she was afraid of the answer
'M-Mr. Wright! H-H-How is he? Mr. Laurice said that he... That he might even die...'
she nearly broke down crying, just the thought of phoenix in any sort of harm, broke her heart..., miles slapped his forehead as he angrily thought to himself
"Larry, you moron! How could you say something like that to other people!!?"
he took a breath as he explained very calmly and with good news
'.. Fortunately, he will be fine, ..he needs at least two days of bed rest but otherwise he is unharmed'
iris blinked away her tears as she smiled in relief
'... Thank goodness...'
she breathed out, ...miles couldn't help but notice how, ...familiar she looked, ...who was she?!, ..he felt he knew here but at the same time, ..he didn't, ..it was wired
'Pardon me... Iris. I would like to ask you something, if you don't mind. I have the distinct feeling you and I have met before...'
he admitted, he couldn't shake off the feeling, ..she looked way to familiar, iris stuttered a little bit before she replied
'I-It must be your imagination, Mr. Edgeworth, After all... I hardly ever leave Hazakura Temple.'
she said, trying to play if off cool and polite, miles looked a her a little confused by what she meant by that, ..hazakura temple?!, what is that place?
'Hazakura Temple? What's that?'
'It's a place where those who wish to boost their spiritual power come to train. You need to undergo some very difficult training to release your inner spiritual power'
she explained, while miles was still confused by what she was talking about, he pretended to understand to an extent as he asked her out of the million questions he had
'Spiritual power...? Did you go to that temple for that reason as well?'
'No... I don't have any spiritual powers. I don't need them.'
now that just made him even more confused then before, he was almost getting a mijrane from all of this.., why stay at a temple when you don't even have the power..?
'In that case, what are you doing at that temple then?'
he asked her, she frowned as she looked off to the side, her eyes narrowing down
'... I... I've committed some sins. Sins that I need to pay for. That's why I'm there, and why I continue to train... To purify my soul'
she admitted, the tears coming back into her eyes, ..miles took a mental note of that, ..phoenix always told him, even the smallest detail matters to the most, that and, that was he would've wanted him to do, so he quickly wrote down everything iris was saying in his own little notepad
