How could I know, in those last fatal days, that a force darker than jealousy and stronger than love had begun to take hold of Angie?

Days had turned into weeks. Weeks had turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love.

A love that will live forever.

The end.

People who occupied a world which was fabricated solely to cater to you.

Way to shatter a guy's self image, Edgeworth.

Anyway, I'm just glad Angie's all right... er, physically, at least. Everything seemed so real, I was a little worried...

[samuraiprosecutor]

If your self image is dependent on a temporary delusion my words are the least of your problems.

...The scars the viruses leave are rarely physical.

[attorneyatlol]

And if you think I was serious, one of us probably needs to tune his sarcasm detector.

I know, but... Nobody's ever died before. Not because of a virus.

[samuraiprosecutor]

And if you believed I was serious, that one wouldn't be me.

She's safe, Wright.

[attorneyatlol]

I know...

[attorneyatlol]

Well, anyway... What role did you fill this weekend?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

One you're probably unfamiliar with.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I wouldn't doubt that, actually. I've never been a big fan of musicals.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I take it this event hasn't positively altered that opinion.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Not particularly. Although I do have a new found appreciation for the performers. I think it'll be a few days before I can talk without rasping...

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Consider yourself fortunate that was the only lingering effect.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

What do you mean?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I suppose that wasn't the only effect that didn't end with the virus. Your embarrassment may linger a while longer.

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah, thanks.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

...Are you okay?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

As well as I ever am when a virus ends.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Which isn't always good. Did something happen?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I'm fine, Wright.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Something happened.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

My experience wasn't nearly as dramatic as yours.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Do you want to... talk about it?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I see little point. The events were mere fabrications. They're over and done with, and any residual effects will fade, as with every virus.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah, but they might fade faster if you get it off your chest.

...Was it really that bad?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

It wasn't. It was a delusion, nothing more.
