First Turnabout [video]

[notspikyenough]

[Hi, network. Catch a man with spiky hair broadcasting a video, looking very confused and a little foolish. It accidentally starts broadcasting before starting to dial a familiar number, leading to several annoying beeps being transmitted over the network before he turns back, sees the screen, and jumps with surprise.]H-Hey! What's going on here

[This reply comes a few hours after the initial broadcast. Phoenix Wright's arrival is hardly a shock, or is even surprising, after who the Core had decided to bring earlier in the week.]

So, Phoenix Wright. You've returned.

V-Von Karma...

This is just getting ridiculous...

I agree. Three times, you've been here now. And the third arrival from our home this week.

[Strange, though, that he called her by her surname. But he's disoriented, so she doesn't think much of it yet.]

You, too!? I've never been here before. I can't even throw a baseball properly! Everyone in my middle school knows that!

(...Actually, I might've been better off not admitting that.)

[Has anyone ever told you how pathetically foolish you are, Phoenix Wright?]

Don't be foolish. I've been here for over a year. No, I'm referring to both Miles Edgeworth and... My father. [She decides there is no point in hiding it from him; they'd find each other soon enough. Briefly, she recalls that her father would still be living in the Tower Apartments, but she pushes that thought aside. There were many people there now; the situation was somewhat under control.]

(Forget it, there aren't enough exclamation points in the world.)

Objection!

Your father can't possibly be here. H-He's gone!

(Though so was Edgeworth... but that was a disappearance, not an execution!)

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

[A sigh.]

Overruled, Phoenix Wright.

So were you.

voice;

[notspikyenough]

I-I've never been dead, von Karma.

(Not that I could be... obviously!)

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

But you were gone.

voice;

[notspikyenough]

W-Well, that's not the same thing at all!

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

How is it any different? [A short pause, then harshly:] In fact, if I recall correctly, you almost make a habit of being absent when people need you the most.

voice;

[notspikyenough]

(...What is that supposed to mean?

I don't know, but that accusation really rankles.)

Don't mix me up with your father or Edgeworth, von Karma.
