in the lobby, miles was telling iris everything that had happened during the investigation, and after he was done explaining larry's "love letter" iris was in awe that someone felt that way about her

'Oh my... Mr. Laurice feels that way about... me...?'

she said, very taken aback and bashful, ..miles nodded 

'Apparently... he isn't aware of your real secret at all.'

iris blushed a tint pink, cupping her hands together nervously, miles sighed as he cried out, bring her out of her state

'This is no time to be embarrassed!'

iris jumped a bit as she apologized

'I--I'm sorry! I'm just... hardly accustomed to that sort of thing'

she explained, miles sighed as he let it go, then stated in a sure tone 

'Worry not... And in any case, whatever it was that he saw on the night of the incident... Mark my words, I will drag it out him!'

he said the last part threw gritted teeth, iris looked at him a bit curious

'Does that mean... Mr. Laurice is the witness today...?'

miles shook his head

'...No. I believe that nun... will be the first to take the stand.'

'Sister Bikini...'

she said as she trailed off

'She claims to have seen the very instant in which you carried out the crime.'

miles said, iris went quite after he spoke, ..he decided to ask her one last time, just to make sure he knew what he was getting himself into

'I just want to ask you one last time. It really wasn't you who killed Ms. Elise Deauxnim, correct?'

iris frowned, then looked at him right into his eyes and stated without a single doubt

'... That is correct. It wasn't me.'

'..Very well then.'

he said, taking her word for her, ..their were no locks, ..so, she was telling the truth

'Um... Mr. Edgeworth?'

iris called out for her attention

'...yes?'

'You are a prosecutor... aren't you? Are you sure about this? If your true identity is revealed...'

she frowned, not wanting anyone to get into trouble, miles however, reassured her

'Don't worry. ...I've taken the necessary steps'

'Y-You have...?'

she asked, a little surprised at how he managed to do that, ..miles then decided to be honest with her

'..Iris. It is a prosecutor's job to doubt people, ...But right now... I am a defense attorney. A defense attorney's job is to believe in people's innocence, .....That's what a ..friend of mine told me once'

he muttered the friend part a little more quietly, iris looked at him

'Mr. Edgeworth...'

'you may pass judgment on me from the defendant's chair. You are the one to decide... ...whether or not I am able to do the task I have been entrusted.'

iris looked at him, ..then smiled softy

'... ...Very well, sir. I leave my defense in your capable hands.'
