[When the audio clicks on, there's the sound of sobbing in the background, but it gradually fades.]

H-Hello? Is anyone there? T-this isn't the Inner Temple! Mystic Maya?! M-Mr. Nick?

...I-I've been a bad girl, I c-couldn't even channel the person that Mother wanted me to...

Jake is surprised at how YOUNG you sound

[in_texas]

...Easy there, Bambina. No need to cry. What's the trouble?

[voice] she's nine what do you expect

[pearly_pearls]

I-I'm sorry...

T-this isn't the Inner Temple! And Mystic Maya... Mr. Nick! T-they aren't here...

I expect results. :[ No, I don't know what that means in this case.

[in_texas]

No need to apologize. Can imagine why someplace like there here ghost town might be a bit frightening to a little filly.

First, you need to tell me your name.

[voice]O.O

[pearly_pearls]

I'm Pearl Fey. I'm M-Mystic Maya's cousin.

[in_texas]

Howdy, Pearl. I'm Jake.

I need you to tell me where you are so if you're in any trouble, we can help you out. Can you do that, Bambina?

[voice]

[pearly_pearls]

Um... I can't read the signs... B-but I'm by a park, Mr. Jake!

[in_texas]

How old are you, Bambina?

[pearly_pearls]

I'm nine years old, Mr. Jake.

D-do you know Mystic Maya or Mr. Nick?

[in_texas]

Maya sounds familiar but I'm not sure I know any "Nicks".

[pearly_pearls]

Oh! I always call him Mr. Nick, but Mystic Maya said his name once... Um, maybe it was Right...?

[in_texas]

Right?

...As in "Phoenix Wright"?

[pearly_pearls]

Y-yes! That's Mr. Nick! Do you know him, Mr. Jake?

[in_texas]

...turns out I do, Bambina. Just a bit.

[pearly_pearls]

Oh, okay. Mr. Nick has a lot of friends...

[in_texas]

Sure seems like it.
