"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

[flaredo]

... Yeah. I'm getting sick of it... [ She knows, honestly, this is bound to happen. But it still hurts. ]

audio;

[prosecutory]

...I see.

[Edgeworth's tone is subdued, and has a note of sadness. He's been there, done that, when it comes to people disappearing like this, but he can imagine how hard it is for someone who has become particularly attached to those folks. In fact, Edgeworth himself is quite affected by this news about Natalia.]

Perhaps...she'll be back again, just as I came back.

audio;

[flaredo]

Yeah... I mean, I probably shouldn't wish for that. This place isn't home to any of us.

audio;

[prosecutory]

It's not. Unless a person has nothing else to return to in their home world.

[Edgeworth has known quite a few people like that...who'd jump at the opportunity to stay forever in a new world and lead a new life.]

[flaredo]

That's... not the case for her. She wouldn't want to abandon her country like that, anyway.

audio;

[prosecutory]

I know. But I've known people who would leave their original worlds.

audio;

[flaredo]

... Yeah. I've met people who are already dead, where they come from.

audio;

[prosecutory]

So have I. I knew two of them before they even arrived here.

audio;

[flaredo]

... Were they from your world, then?

audio;

[prosecutory]

Yes, they were. But they're not here anymore.

audio;

[flaredo]

Which means they're somewhere in that big creepy place place where everyone's strung up like holiday lights?

audio;

[prosecutory]

[About that...]

Do you really believe that place was real, and not just a set-up?

audio;

[flaredo]

Honestly, I don't know. There was something about it that didn't seem... entirely not real, you know?

audio;

[prosecutory]

Like it seems to fit with their entire story, perhaps?

audio;

[flaredo]

Yeah... I'm not really ready to believe it.

audio;

[prosecutory]

Neither am I, Yang. Neither am I.

audio;

[flaredo]

So what do you think? Do more digging on our own?

audio;

[prosecutory]

That has always been the plan. It hasn't changed a bit.

audio;

[flaredo]

Then let's keep working on it!
