I see that the dead return from beyond the grave in Discedo. Such a disruption to the cycle of life is completely unnatural and makes the concept of death meanlingessIt makes me wonder how a place like this deals with its criminals, or indeed, if any homicides are committed. The unique properties of this place would make such an action a flagrant ( Read more... )

[Sighs.] Obviously, your intellect has gone dull in old age. Your mental gymnastics are bordering on pathetic.

Taking a life is the greatest theft of which one is capable. Even if said taken life is returned, the taking of that life against someone else's will is still the worst theft one can commit.

I believe Locke will further serve to illustrate my point concerning the philosophy of why laws are set in place for the greater good of the society.

But, unfortunately, I'm aware you will refuse to listen. Your narcissism forces you to hide what you are too weak to deal with by means of changing and altering the definitions by which yourself and others live. But if you cannot alter those definitions, then you seek to discredit them by some flawed, so-called "logic."

Regardless, i ask that you not waste your breath. I only wish to tell you that any such actions that are criminal in Discedo will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. A prosecutor must do his duty, after all.

... Additionally, tea may be found in rare pockets within Discedo. Should you come across the remains of my personal cache left in Latimir, I permit you to use it.

Yes, I am quite finished.

[Manfred listens, but finds himself tiring of this miserable conversation...and mentally places Edgeworth under the 'weak' column.] Somehow, I place little faith in the laws I have seen in this place, and merely believe that the sentence should be deserving of the crime. However, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree, don't you? I know a lost cause when I see one.

[The mentioning of the tea throws him for a loop, momentarily, and there's a pause before the rest of the message.]

I have no interest in tea.

Perhaps you could endeavor to pretend to be a decent human being. That would certainly entertain us all.

To each their own, I suppose.

Why would I have to stop at merely 'decent' when perfection is easily attainable?

...I would not expect you to understand.

I've always wondered what made you the exception to the rule that no man or woman is perfect by definition of human nature. Before you answer, 'I simply am' is a childish response. I expect something more.

[And then a pause.] However... it must be brought to mind that, despite your inability to accept and grow from mistakes made and your iron-fist of a world view, you were a second father to me. Despite your intentions and what you've done, you took me in, fed, clothed and tutored me for ten years.

Even you cannot deny that an act of charity can be easily appreciated without becoming weak.

I understand much more than you would ever care to know.
