We all wish desperately to go home, as a matter of course. The key, I believe, to returning home is figuring out precisely why we've been brought here, and that means deducing what commonalities exist amongst us. And it seems that I have noticed one not uncommon trait among many here, and wish to know if it is indeed a pattern or merely a ( Read more... )

I must confess a personal distrust of those who advocate such revolutionary tactics, and as such I would be biased in any advice I could offer regarding his intentions. But I do distrust those who would advocate such things.

[Slight pause.]

This man, then, would kill you?

If it's attached to me, in a literal sense, do you believe there's anyway to remove it 'safely' - no harm done?

That is not precisely my question. More - [A pause.] He holds his goals as more important than human life?

'It's time for mankind to change.' He says things like that.

Then he is a fool of the highest caliber.

All this nonsense about revolutions...A revolution is worth having only if its end preserves life. No change justifies the unlawful deprivation of life. It takes a true egotist to think otherwise.

[Slight pause.] You do not like me; I understand this, and do not begrudge you that. But I assure you that under no circumstances will I ever intend you harm. I'm sworn by my duties to prevent crime and to protect the innocent. As such, though you do not like me, I assure you that you may trust me: if at any time you think yourself in danger, my offices and domicile will be open to you, and they will be safe.

Edgeworth-

[ shaking head despite himself. ] Edgeworth, I was just- I was really upset and scared, back during 'that time'. I don't dislike you. You were only doing what you knew was right. I was afraid of being alone. [ he can say that just between the two of them, can't he? ]

What you've said, I'll remember it. Thank you.

[An awkward pause. Then an awkward throat-clearing.] Forgive me; I should not have brought the question of "like" or "dislike" into it at all. The offer would be the same regardless. You will never be trapped in a place which is - unsafe.

Too late!

If I'm very worried, I'll come knock on your door, all right?

All...right. It is - always open. Save when I am not there. Generally speaking, my office is a safer bet.

All right.

Edgeworth?
