Out of seemingly nowhere, Miles Edgeworth starts to have dreams of someone he has not met in eleven years. It turns out, though, that what he thought were merely dreams were something else entirely, and now he and his estranged childhood friend have to pretend that their marriage is real and not just a drunken mistake, all the while trying to solve a crime, become friends again, and get a divorce. Easier said than done, especially with Phoenix Wright making it very difficult for Miles to not fall in love.

-She didn’t care how shameless it was to demand he abandon a noble calling. Yangchen grasped between them for Kavik’s hand, guided by his warmth. Finding his fingers, she gave them a squeeze. Then she let go and smacked the back of her hand against his. “Stay with me,” she said. “I need you by my side. There’s so much work to do, and I want you with me until it’s finished.”-

Yukiya's Memory (Novel Translation)

Blog version

Context: Two scenes, just before and after the Ravine, as Wakamiya asks Yukiya for details on what he saw to identify the assassins.

Yukiya looked up to Wakamiya, asking for his opinion. In turn, he rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

“…….. What if he didn’t choose to use it as payment, but instead was left with no choice but to use it that way?” A reason to pick a prestigious item received from the Lord of the North himself, of all things.

“What are you trying to say?”

“Nevermind, it’s truly just guesswork. We can’t say anything for certain at the moment,” Wakamiya murmured. He didn’t make any other attempt to bring the topic back up, and it looked like he had just reconsidered something. His attitude was oddly evasive.

Then, as if he had just come back to himself, he clapped.

“Leaving that aside, there is no doubt of the fact that today’s assailant is somehow related to the Northern House. Sumio, make sure to look into those related to the Lord of the North before investigating the thugs.”

“Understood.”

“And Yukiya, did you see the face of the person who shot that arrow?”

“Well, yes, kind of. But it was only for a moment and from far away. I can’t say I saw it clearly…” Yukiya began, before suddenly coming to a halt. “But wait, now that you mention it, it felt like this assailant and the person watching us over at the Gazing Moon Hall(1) were similar.”

“Interesting.”

“But you didn’t really get to see his face well, right?” Sumio asked back, unsure.

Yukiya himself tilted his head in confusion too. “Well, I certainly didn’t see his face per se, but, how to say it, there was something off about him.”

He couldn’t really tell what it was exactly, but something told him the assailant who shot the arrow and the person from yesterday were one and the same.

“Then, what if you saw this person again? Would you know if it was him?” Wakamiya asked.

After deeply thinking about it for a while, Yukiya nodded.

“I think so, yes. But, well, at the very least, I can say that this assailant wasn’t among those who have gone to the Northern House Main Residence for New Year’s in the last seven or eight years.”

“Huh?”

“What?” Sumio asked, full of doubt, “are you truly sure of that?”

“I mean, quite a lot of people go there for New Year’s?”

Including the servants, the event amassed quite the number of people. If they had gone through the trouble of hiring thugs, it was highly likely that the assailant too was someone who couldn’t afford to be seen in such a position. And so, the main suspects were either the servants to one of the Northern Clans, or people closely related to them.

As far as he could tell, Sumio and Wakamiya had fully intended to focus their investigation on them. Understandably, however, they didn’t want to risk losing an essential clue because of Yukiya's fuzzy memories.

“But it’s not like you can say that much without a doubt,” Sumio said.

Yukiya, however, flat out denied the notion. “Don’t treat me as some fool. No matter how you put it, there is no way I could forget the face of a Yatagarasu I’ve seen before. I’m not really that much of an idiot.”

Yukiya was quite serious about it, but neither man was able to answer. Sumio, in particular, seemed to be too dumbfounded to even open his mouth.

“Ehm… Did I… say something weird?” Faced with sudden silence, Yukiya glanced at Wakamiya to gauge his reaction. His self-confidence had vanished into thin air.

“No, don’t worry,” Wakamiya replied firmly, “I get what you’re trying to say. We’ll investigate with that in mind.”

“——Understood.”

Wakamiya looked to Sumio, who immediately nodded and stood up. He planned to depart immediately, from the looks of it.

“Oh, and Yukiya. You’ll be coming with me now.”

⊛　　　　　⊛　　　　　 ⊛

“Yukiya, there is one thing I want to confirm with you.” Yukiya turned a questioning gaze to Wakamiya, who was still frowning. “Did you find the assailant who shot that man in the head during your time in the Ravine?”

“I didn’t, no.”

“Not even among Kazumichi’s men?”

“I made sure to check his bodyguards too, but the assailant wasn’t one of them.”

“That’s weird,” Sumio’s expression turned grim as well, “I looked into it through other avenues too. All retainers capable of organizing such an attack should have been there yesterday, with Kazumichi.”

And, if the assailant wasn’t connected to the Northern House, the next option to consider would be someone specialized in this kind of dirty job, someone likely to frequent the Ravine. After spending more than a month and a half in there, Yukiya had been certain that he would find their target’s face somewhere, and yet—

“The people there worked me relentlessly, and I often ended up running all over the place. This is just my guess, Your Highness, but that was at your request, wasn’t it?”

“Indeed. They’ll do anything as long as you pay for it.”

Yukiya didn’t simply work during his time there, either. He had somewhat guessed that this was precisely the main reason why Wakamiya had left him at the Ravine, so he had made an active effort to check the people around him for the assailant.

“Still, if that’s the case, Your Highness, please tell me about it in the first place!”

For a moment there, he had truly believed that Wakamiya had sold him off.

“Oh, yeah, sorry about that.”

------------------------------------------------

1: Gazing Moon Hall refers to the red light district shop Wakamiya frequents and through which he accesses the Ravine to ensure nobody follows him there. It’s also the place he buys for the night when the assassination attempt happens.

[bloodsalted]

@glxryfallen || based off your meme for confessing something || just made a starter instead. hope that's okay!

"uh. i'm not sure how this goes. i mean. i've seen it in the movies. tried it a couple times... but.. um.. forgive me father for i have sinned. isn't that where these sorta things start? that line... everyone says it," there's a quiet, frustrated half-laugh that follows as the sound of the back of his head resting against the confessional booth thunks on hollow wood paneling. he can smell the dried blood on his jacket in the enclosed space. leather and copper. muted but accented with rain water attempting (and failing) to wash it off. dean flicks his gaze up towards the dark ceiling then to the screen with it's fishnet shadows decorating the wooden wall.

a few beats of silence then you can hear whatever resolve or determination carried muddy boots into the church at an ungodly hour fade. "nah.. fuck it. this isn't gonna work. sorry to waste your time.." be damned if he isn't halfway towards the little door a long step later.

the hell was he thinking? talking to a wall? that shit's what crazy people do. and it's not getting him any closer to getting his job DONE.
