Snow. It was... enjoyable watching the young ones entertain themselves. Such weather is not uncommon in the parts of Europe that I would frequent. I hope you enjoyed yourself, Machi. I'm not even sure what I ended up making.
It feels like spring has come in the middle of summer. But it will soon be time to return to work.
I suppose this served well as a break to forget about the embarrassment of the other day.
...Let us hope the curses to come remain harmless. Though I doubt we will be so lucky.
All Investigators at Gavin & Edgeworth Private Investigations, please do remember that once the snow has cleared, I will be expecting you all back at work.
...and no, I will not be accepting a winter cold as an excuse.

Someone from our world is here. Apollo Justice-- I've offered him residence, but he doesn't seem to know you at all. I suggest you speak with him soon. I also have reason to believe Kristoph Gavin may be in the City as well, possibly from the same time period as him. I'm not quite sure what to make of this at this point in time.
Prosecutor Godot and Lord Cain have been working on gathering evidence for the Emerald Forest case and we've just received word from Lord Cain that he has substantial evidence to help find at least one of the culprits from the case. Don't overwork yourself, Klavier.

Eight months I have been here. So much has happened, so much has changed. And the change I have seen most has been in myself.
I'm not sure I'm confident that it is a change for the better, but it is certainly not for the worst. I'm no longer alone... even if he isn't here.
But I've learned so much, so much that I do not even know I will know or remember when I return. What if everything that I have experienced here fades? Every bit of friendship, every bit of closeness that I have developed with those who are to come after me...?
I do not even know... where I am to be in the future. Everyone has spoken, of Wright, of the Gavins, of the daughter Wright gains... Where am I in their future? Where are Maya and Pearl? What will happen to Mr. Armando? Where will Detective Gumshoe be, and young Ema Skye? So many questions remain unanswered... and so much uncertainty fills me.
Prosecutor Gavin recognized me. The newcomer, Justice... he too, recognized me. It's so odd, to think that these young men are hailing from a future that is possibly the one I will live to see.
Is the only way for their future to be as it is now... for you to lose what you have fought so hard for? What you always told me was the reason you walked the path of law...?
I fear for you. I fear for all the good you do, backlashing as if it were evil.
And if this is the future to come, then what good am I...
But now... right now, I have them. Klavier Gavin and Machi Tobaye. It is so tempting, to hold onto them, to protect them... but to what end? How much can I do, when I am not even certain of what my future is to be once I step back and away from them, back into the past where I belong?
And for what I do know, now that I know it... what do I do? Do I ruin the futures of these children by stopping what happens to bring them here? Or do I let things take their course? Do I allow Klavier Gavin and his brother to ruin the life of one man, to have their futures as they come, when I return home...?
I'm not sure why these thoughts are coming to me now. I have been feeling uneasy... as though something is to come that I will not be able to fight against... something I will be helpless against. And it frightens me to think that.
The boy, Justice, has confirmed that Kristoph Gavin is in the City. I do not know what to make of this. I can only pray that his arrival will not hurt Klavier.
...He doesn't need this pain anymore. By everything holy, let them be at peace.
I'm growing sentimental, aren't I? But it is so very difficult to not become fearful. When you can come close to losing those who have become precious.
Heh. Perhaps this is what you meant by weakness, Von Karma. Perhaps this is why you didn't want any closeness with those who would inhibit your perfection.
Franziska... how I wish I could see you just once more. An odd thing to wish for, isn't it? But at least it would keep me as I am, instead of what I am becoming now.
And yet, despite my hesitance, I do not feel as though it is a bad thing. Would you agree, sister?
Perhaps I should be glad you aren't here, Wright. If you were ever to discover I had confessed to any of this, I can only imagine how you would smirk.
And perhaps, at that point, I'd deserve it.
Heh. So this is what a foolish fool is in the end, hm...?
I wish I knew. But for now, for however long this peace can last, please let those youngsters have it. They deserve it more than I ever could.
That's all I ask.
And perhaps... just one chance to see you again. Then I'll know, if all of this... will help at all, like you said.
