Post by bunniefuu »

PW: The treasured Kurain Village heirloom, "Shichishito," or "Seven-Branched Sword."

PW: It is said that this sacred sword represents life itself.

PW: Though the branches may appear to be infinite, the choices limitless...

PW: Like our destinies, the sword comes to but one end.

PW: It mercilessly severs the thread binding us to this world, impales us,

PW: and lays bare the implacability of fate.

Maya: Young people can be so reckless.

Maya: Don't blame me if you die.

Pearl: Reckless?

Bi: You have to sit on ice and chant Kurain spells thirty thousand times,

Bi: all while dousing yourself in freezing-cold water.

Maya: And how am I supposed to do that?

Bi: Well, make yourself at home.

Pearl: Apprentice?

Elise: He calls himself Laurice Deauxnim.

Elise: I believe he's off doing some landscape sketches now.

PW: Um...

PW: Are you here to do research for a new book?

Iris: Yes, Sister Bikini.

Elise: Pearl.

Elise: If you'd like, you can come to my room.

Elise: We can read some books together.

Pearl: Really?

Pearl: Um... I'm not very good at reading.

Elise: We can practice together, then.

Pearl: Ah! I'd love to!

Pearl: What does this say?

Elise: That's "gravely."

Pearl: What about this word, then?

Elise: "Sunder." They're both difficult words.

Pearl: Thank you so much!

PW: What the heck is Pearls even reading?

LB: See ya, Nick.

LB: I'm going back to sketching.

LB: The snow ignites my artistic passion.

LB: Don't try to stop me!

PW: Is it a weeping cherry?

PW: I-Iris...

Iris: Good night!

PW: Please wait!

Iris: How can I help you, Mr. Wright?

PW: I know this is rude, but could you take off your hood?

PW: Please.

PW: This is no mere resemblance!

PW: She's clearly...

PW: But she should still be in prison!

Iris: U-Um, what is it?

PW: Sorry for staring.

PW: Can we talk for a bit?

Iris: Sure.

PW: When did you come to Hazakura Temple?

Iris: It's been my home ever since I was a small child.

Iris: I don't have any family left, you see.

PW: This is a training spot that boosts one's spiritual powers, right?

Iris: Yes.

Iris: I've heard it's a distant branch of the Kurain School of Channeling.

PW: Sounds like a whole different world to me.

Iris: And that's how it should be.

Iris: Speaking with the dead doesn't help anyone.

Iris: I hate the idea very much.

Iris: Look at the time. I have to go ring the bell for lights out.

PW: Sorry for keeping you.

Iris: Um, Mr. Wright...

PW: Yes?

Iris: If you don't mind,

Iris: please take this.

Iris: This hood protects you from evil spirits. I pray for your safety on this dark night.

PW: But what about you?

Iris: Don't worry. I'll be fine.

PW: Thank you.

PW: Uh, have you and I ever met before?

Iris: I-I'm sorry! It's almost PM!

PW: She really does know me.

PW: I'll have to try talking to her again tomorrow.

PW: The kidnapping incident at Dusky Bridge eleven years ago,

PW: the death row inmate who died, and Dahlia Hawthorne...

PW: These files contained truths I had no idea about.

PW: Last night, after plunging into the river from the burning Dusky Bridge,

PW: I miraculously survived,

PW: but I caught a nasty cold and was hospitalized.

PW: But I can't just lie around in bed.

PW: I don't know what happened at Hazakura Temple,

PW: but the police investigatedthe m*rder of Elise Deauxnim

PW: and arrested Iris for it.

PW: Iris is not a m*rder*r.

PW: And more than anything, I'm worried about Maya.

PW: Because the bridge burned down,

PW: she's still trapped in the Inner Temple.

PW: Damn... I don't have time to waste here.

ME: Looks like you're still alive.

PW: Edgeworth?

ME: Larry called me.

ME: He said you fell into a river and died.

PW: I'm alive, as you can see.

PW: The hood probably saved my life.

PW: Thanks for coming to see me, Edgeworth.

ME: I just happened to be back in the country, is all.

PW: I feel pathetic for being stuck here at a time like this.

PW: If only I had two bodies.

PW: Edgeworth, I have a favor to ask!

PW: Take this.

ME: What is this about?

PW: I want you to defend Iris in court.

ME: D-Don't be silly!

ME: I'm a prosecutor!

PW: Yeah, I know.

PW: I know better than anyone.

PW: And I know you can do this.

Iris: Um, is Mr. Wright all right?

ME: He's fine.

ME: He has a cold, but he's unhurt otherwise.

Iris: I'm so glad!

Iris: I'd heard that he died!

ME: Larry, you moron! How could you say something like that?

Iris: Thank goodness!

ME: If you don't mind me asking...

ME: I have a feeling that you and I have met before.

Iris: It must be your imagination.

Iris: I hardly ever leave Hazakura Temple.

ME: I see.

ME: Are you training to boost your spiritual powers, too?

Iris: I have no such powers.

Iris: But I've committed some sins that I need to atone for.

Iris: That's why I train to purify my soul.

ME: Could you tell me about last night, the night of the m*rder?

Iris: Of course.

Iris: After dinner, I saw Miss Trainee and Sister Bikini off to the Inner Temple,

Iris: and at PM, I rang the bell for lights out.

Iris: After that, I stayed in my room until it happened.

ME: Answer me this simple question.

ME: You didn't k*ll Elise Deauxnim, did you?

Iris: No, I'm not the one who took her life.

ME: I visited Wright at the hospital before coming here.

ME: That's when he asked me.

ME: He asked me to defend you in the trial tomorrow.

Iris: He did?

ME: Iris, you knew him from before, didn't you?

Iris: Wh-Why would you think that?

ME: Whenever you came up in our conversation, he acted a little strange.

ME: I could tell.

Iris: Mr. Edgeworth, are you his friend?

ME: He is an irreplaceable friend.

Iris: I understand.

Iris: Five years ago, I deceived him.

ME: "Deceived"?

Iris: Yes.

Iris: Because I was a weak person.

Iris: And I heard that it caused him a lot of pain.

Iris: So I decided never to show my face to him again.

ME: If you ask me, he is still suffering.

ME: And he will continue to suffer until he learns the truth.

ME: It's not too late.

ME: You should tell him the truth.

Iris: Very well. I promise.

ME: In tomorrow's trial, I'll defend you with everything I have!

ME: All right. That should do it.

ME: Now I need information about the m*rder.

ME: I think I'll do things your way in tomorrow's trial.

PW: And the Inner Temple remains cut off from it all.
