Did somebody send me flowers...?

Wright...

Things seemed...simpler then. I allowed myself to believe I knew who I was and what place I was meant to occupy. There were very few complications in my life, and I knew how to react to the ones I'd been dealt.

But everything I believed I knew was false...and I was...

I would not go back to that.

[attorneyatlol]

Sorry... I understand. It was just... difficult to hear, that's all. But I get it.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...

I'm sorry, Wright.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

It's fine, Edgeworth. Really.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Wright...most of what I have now, I owe to you. Such ungratefulness can hardly be considered fine.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I know you wouldn't have said those things if you were in control, Edgeworth. Those feelings might be a part of you, but I know they're not the whole picture. I think I can deal with that.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...All right.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Anyway... I know you didn't want to talk about this, so... thanks. For explaining, I mean.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

You have the right to an explanation.

I am grateful, Wright. More than I can say.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

...Thank you.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

You don't owe me any thanks.

[attorneyatlol]

It means a lot to me, though... knowing that I didn't mess up.

[samuraiprosecutor]

'Messed up?' Wright, you...

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

No. You didn't mess up.

[attorneyatlol]

I never really saw it from your point of view, you know... What I did back then. I do that a lot, don't I? Focus on something without really thinking about it? I never understood why you sometimes seemed so angry at me...

I can't pretend that your tendency to barrel through obstacles hasn't ever been a detriment. You did disrupt my life, Wright. Justified as it may have been, it wasn't something I could immediately accept.

But neither can I argue with your results. It's your method. I question whether you'd be as successful with any other, assuming you even could change your modus operandi.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I don't know that I could. It's hard to ignore what my gut tells me.

...I'm sorry, Edgeworth.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Considering your gut's track record, I suppose that's for the best.

You don't need to be, Wright.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

I should have realized sooner... But I'm glad we talked about it, at least.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

I would have preferred to have the subject come up under different circumstances entirely, but...I don't regret the conversation either.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

That seems to happen to us a lot.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Indeed. I'm not sure I want to know what that might be indicative of.

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Me neither, though I could probably wager a few guesses.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Dare I ask what they might be?

[Locked]

[attorneyatlol]

Maybe that we should be more open with each other instead of waiting for the community to force us into situations where we have to be?
