A... gift? [Well, that was the last thing Edgeworth was expecting to hear.] Um... er...

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I can try my best on my own, of course. If it's a bother.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

Er... it isn't... I mean... your proposal is not the true concern.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

Then what is?

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

It's... it's foolish of me.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I doubt that.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

There isn't any rational reason for me to feel as I have since Thursday! [And boy, is he mad at himself about it.]

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

...Since the effects of the Shadow wore off.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

...Indeed.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I know nothing of your family situation at home, of course. But it's always a shock to have strong feelings that are suddenly shown to be false or forced.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

...

[Slowly and reluctantly:] Do you recall my distress last month?

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I recall, yes.

[Never prying. Never.]

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

[No need to -- he's volunteering.]

That day... was the anniversary of my father's death. He meant a great deal to me.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

It's irrational of me to feel as though I've awoken to news of his murder once more.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I don't think you're being foolish at all.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

How is it not foolish? Diarmuid was never really my father to begin with, and furthermore he yet lives. Nevertheless, I've been unable to so much as work as of late! It's preposterous!

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

No matter how the connection started or ended, it's reasonable to feel its loss. I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

I shouldn't be so easily conquered by such a thing.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I can't speak for your pain, but I don't doubt that it's worth taking a break to deal with.

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

It's a vulnerability. A weakness.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

Human.

[truthsnomiracle]

Grrk --

[Voice]

[truthsnomiracle]

[The prosecutor sighs.] ...You're right, of course. I must remember that I was once regarded as a demon, in part because I was misled into rejecting the necessity of such human frailties.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

If we have no frailties like this - if we cannot build bonds that harm us when they break, we have no way to build bonds that we can use as a strength. I'd rather be human.
