[It's early into the night, an hour or two after the sirens have gone off at most. She's out of breath and there's an underlying hint of pain in her voice as she steadies her tone.]

Mr. Edgeworth was killed tonight. His killer, Grimmjow, is still at large and is somewhere out here in the Darkness.

[It should be obvious, but she says it anyway.

I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

[proxysearch]

[It really was, but she won't admit that.]

Thank you for your consideration, Light.

[Oh, don't get him wrong, he's not just pointing out the obvious about Edgeworth's personality; he's warned him of that plenty.]

It's nothing. Maybe this will serve as a lesson to the police department to do something about escaped criminals before they kill again. An attorney's death is often considered as grave as that of a police officer, isn't it?

Dammit, don't you think we're trying?

[voice]

[escapedpandora]

He was killed?

[voice]

[proxysearch]

Yes, by a known criminal.

[voice]

[escapedpandora]

[There's a long moment of silence.]

...Thanks for telling us. Can you-- please tell us when the killer's caught, too?

[proxysearch]

[She keeps herself from sighing.]

Of course. I'll let everyone know as soon as possible.

[Voice; Private]

[gaveherwings]

Re-l...

[A loose, anguished sigh.

The ambulance call that he's been pacing about for the past hour, finally illuminated in the worst of ways.

It's difficult to believe it all that once. Miles Edgeworth- to conceive of his death, murder...well. He'd really hate to call it the inevitable, but- Grimmjow. Already so much trouble, and...he'd warned the prosecutor to take better protection, after making so many potential enemies.

He'd process in a moment. It's been an hour he's worried himself sick, and-

...and right now he needs to focus on her. Because everyone else would ask questions, express shock, grief, everything else for the prosecutor without sparing second thought for her, but-

But his first priority was sharply in focus, even through half a dozen other spinning concerns.]

...Are you hurt?

[Voice; Private]

[proxysearch]

Daedalus-

[Her voice breaks a little from the pain but she exhales, steadying herself. She's looking for a place to stand where she has an advantage over Grimmjow, should he come back.]

A little.

[Voice; Private]

[gaveherwings]

I'm here.

[A soft, earnest attempt at comfort, at empathy.]

Right here- breathe. Are you alright? Did he attack the both of you? What happened? Are you somewhere safe now?

[Voice; Private]

[proxysearch]

[She sighs softly, coming to a stop for now.]

I found Edgeworth's body and went looking for him. There was... I couldn't do anything, Daedalus-

[Gin gets to see her, because she wants him to see how absolutely furious she is, where the blood clings to her skin and how her hair is undone and over her shoulders, clinging from the rain. Boy, is she thankful she's not wearing makeup tonight.]

Gin.

[... oh. Oh, Re-l.]

[Sorry, though, Gin is all grins, like always.]

Tough night?

Your little bastard of a comrade is a piece of work, I hope you know.

[idontregret]

Grimmjow did...?

[There's an angered growl. Heat doesn't like Edgeworth, but he's a friend of Minako's, and he likes Grimmjow less.]

[proxysearch]

Yes, he did.

[There's so much anger laced in her voice that it can almost match his.]

[idontregret]

That bastard. I'll kill him.

[Because that went so well last time.]

[proxysearch]

You'll stay inside if you know what's good for you.
