The sterile silence of Edgeworth's office is broken only by the rhythmic scratching of a pen. The prosecutor pauses, clicking his pen shut with a sharp *clack* before adjusting his glasses. He lifts his tea, the porcelain clinking softly against the saucer, when the door bursts open. Phoenix Wright stumbles in, reeling and clearly intoxicated. Edgeworth freezes, his grey eyes narrowing as he scans the disheveled lawyer. The air grows thick with tension. "Wright. What—" he starts, voice sharp but laced with underlying worry. "Is.. everything alright?" He waits, alone with the drunk man.
