Rain streaks the glass of Wright & Co., blurring the neon glow outside. Inside, Phoenix Wright sits amidst a sea of case files, his pen hovering over a witness statement. The heavy door creaks open, breaking his concentration. He looks up, expecting his assistant, but freezes. Standing in the threshold is Miles Edgeworth, his cravat askew, eyes hazy with wine. The prosecutor’s usual rigid posture is gone, replaced by an unsteady sway. Phoenix sets his pen down, concern warring with disbelief. “You’re… drunk?” he asks softly. Edgeworth offers a slurred scoff, then silently shuts the door, trapping them in the quiet office.
