Why did it have to happen today?
Why not yesterday or even tomorrow?
I entered the office.
"What did you want to discuss on the case, Edgeworth?"
He was studying his files and muttered something indistinguishable under his breath.
His face did not turn towards me.
I stood there for a long while waiting for an actual response.
Did he even know I was there?
I tried again.
"What did you want to discuss on the case, Edgeworth?"
He continued on with his business.
How...awkward.
I fixed my eyes on my shoes. Maybe there was something interesting happening with them.
My attention turned. I stared at a cup that was set on his desk.
Probably tea. The cup was fancy enough.
The tea started moving.
As if there was an...
All of a sudden, the room began shaking!
I struggled to keep my balance.
It didn't matter how hard I tried. I just couldn't.
I fell hard.
I ended up with my butt on the floor, sitting upright.
I think I popped something.
The rumbling came to a halt.
A lousy earthquake.
The power had gone out, and there was not much I could see.
It was night, and the room was dark, with the exception of a few flickering lights.
Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed the chair behind the desk was unoccupied.
A soft whimper came from behind the desk.
I crawled over and saw what I thought I would.
Edgeworth. Curled up in a ball. On the floor.
"...Edgeworth?"
My voice must have triggered something because the next thing I knew, he was sprawled out on me.
Him, with his arms wrapped around me. Me, taken by surprise.
"...Phoenix."
Not the usual Wright. Just Phoenix.
I slowly worked up the courage to put my arms around him.
Once they were around him, I couldn't bring myself to unhook them.
He was trembling, and I couldn't just push him away when he needed me.
That's why I've said what I did.
Why did that earthquake have to happen today?
Why not yesterday or even tomorrow?
Now I can't pull out these butterflies I feel in my stomach.
Now I can't stop my heart from skipping the beat it does every day that I see him.
Lousy earthquake.
