I'm a tad surprised that this hasn't been discussed much amongst the NaruMitsu community. Apparently, in Trials and Tribulations, when Edgeworth uses the Magatama on Iris, you're supposed to present a "certain someone" (obviously Phoenix), but if you choose the wrong profile this happens instead...
I'm not sure how else to interpret this? Anyone have a non-NaruMitsu explanation for this? I mean... it's so blatant it just *couldn't* be that, right? Could it be Edgeworth just hiding the fact that he agreed to defend Iris mainly because he doesn't want Wright to be suffering any longer?
