Beeeeeeeeeeeep.
The number you have dialed is no longer in service.

[ It's been awhile since this message reached Miles Edgeworth's ear. But while he was now very much aware that this was a frequent occurrence, he never expected to hear it from this gear.

... A sick feeling settling in his stomach - but you can't be gone you just went to go get that Pearl girl before you both went quiet you can't be gone - he tries again. ]

Beeeeeeeeeeeep.
The number you have dialed is no longer in service.

[ And the feeling is heavy as he closes his gear for just a moment. Lifting himself up from the chair he was sitting on, Miles begins to walk... outside of the hotel room, down the hall and out of the hotel, through the city.

He comes to a stop at the railing overlooking the ocean before, opening his gear again, he sends out a message to the network. ]

Phoenix Wright has gone home.

His number isn't in service anymore. I'm certain.

[A long pause. Touya...wasn't sure what to think or how to feel at that moment. He didn't have many friends in or out of Johto; the only one from home he called a friend had left long ago. How was he supposed to react to the loss of someone he'd hardly known and yet sort of liked as far as acquaintances went?]

... I called because I'd wanted to ask him something. I'm not sure how long he's been gone for..

[ It had been weeks - months - since he'd last spoken to the lawyer. Suddenly he's filled with a stinging regret and loss-- and he shakes his head at himself. ]

[What was the proper way to go about this for humans? Touya honestly wasn't certain. Regret and loss weren't something a shinobi was meant to feel.]

[ It's strange being told that by someone he doesn't know. ]

We were.

... Thank you.

[It was meant to be reassuring, but Touya somehow doubted that was working so well.]

He's always been a likable person.

I'll be alright. There are people who will miss him more.

That is true. But..

[ I'm used to that? ]

If that is true, it.. would be a relief.

[ Not because he knows he'll miss Phoenix and it will hurt, but because he knows that what he'll feel later is what he made Phoenix feel when he moved away. ]
