Tyki might have had more sympathy if he'd known, but not much. Couldn't the very same question be directed towards Edgeworth? There were reasons people acted the way they did, whether that person was Edgeworth or Tyki, and he didn't appreciate being condemned and belittled when he was in the middle of trying to save lives - the very act which would probably result in his own death, shortly.

"And if you knew something about my life, I wonder if you would condemn me so," Tyki replied, just as stiffly.

He was especially angry because all that had happened here was that both of them were mad at Tyki, when Edgeworth was the one who'd started off being rude!

"Don't apologize, Phoenix," Tyki said. "I'm certain you'd rather not spend more time in my presence than you must, in any case." That last was said a little petulantly, and even he flushed slightly at his own pettiness. "As a matter of fact, I'll just leave before I can make even poorer a showing of myself," he muttered as he turned to leave.
