Phoenix silently watched the exchange; while he agreed with a lot of what Edgeworth was saying, he couldn't help but feel this wasn't the time or the place for it... not to mention there was a part of him that was sympathetic to Tyki for whatever reason (though, he suspected being saved from an akuma with a gun in its forehead might have something to do with it).

"Edgeworth, he's trying to help," he said, a desperate attempt to curtail the discussion. "You guys can argue your cases all you want, but the only thing it will amount to is wasted time that could be put to better use elsewhere."
