Characters: Miles Edgeworth and you! (although second prompt open only to Phoenix Wright)
Setting: 24th June. During the day.
Format: Action but I'll match.
Summary: Maya's left the tower and Edgeworth's going to have to tell a certain someone.
Warnings: Angst I guess? Also reference to character death.

Graveyard, open.
[So, it was true. Maya had indeed disappear from the tower. Her name on the door to her room had vanished. When Edgeworth went to the graveyard to check the gravestones, his worst fears were confirmed.

What happened to Maya? Did she go somewhere else? Did the administrators take her somewhere?

....Was the prosecutor actually going to see her again?

In Edgeworth's view, Maya was someone who had gone through a lot - not only in the tower, where she had 'died' three times but also at home. Her mother disappeared when she was a child, she lost her sister to a murder (and was framed for it), she was taken hostage once and later she witnessed her own mother's murder.

Ever since Edgeworth arrived in Animus, he had been keeping a close eye on Maya. She may have been bizarre but she was also ~~his friend~~ a good-hearted girl who strove to do the right thing. Not only that but Maya was Phoenix Wright's friend. Edgeworth felt unsure how to face Phoenix if something happened to her.

And now something had happened.

Miles Edgeworth can be found standing in front of Maya's 'grave', looking more solemn and gloomy than usual. Even without the gravestone, it is not exactly difficult to tell that something is wrong.

Hallways - open to Phoenix Wright

[After contemplating Maya's departure, Edgeworth decided to go straight to Phoenix's room. If anybody had to be the first to know that Maya had gone, it would have to be Phoenix. Maya was Phoenix's assistant and one of his closest friends.

Edgeworth was not sure how the former defense attorney was going to react to this news - not when it was a different Phoenix. Whether or not this Phoenix would be able to take the news better, Edgeworth did not know. However, the prosecutor knew he had to be strong - for his friend's sake.]

[Tetra was vising the graveyard herself that day, going to find the grave that belonged to her Link and finding it a little funny how possessive that sounded each time she said it. But he was her Link, the Link that helped her and joined her crew, that was going to help her create a new kingdom on the Great Sea.

For awhile, she just sat at Link's grave, holding the little figurine of King Daphnes that he had given her and glancing at her still bandaged hand. She gives a little prayer at the grave, very quiet and spoken carefully in Modern Hylian, before getting up and starting to head out.

She stopped though as she spotted Miles at one of the new graves. Tetra couldn't quite remember seeing him before but she hadn't ever been a really sociable type of person. The small pirate made her way over to him and peeked at the name on the grave.]

Friend'a yers?

[Edgeworth has been so lost in thought that he did not realise that there was another person on this floor.] Ah...

[Edgeworth is not the type to talk about his feelings much. Especially in front of strangers. Because of that, he tries to put on a stoic face. Not that it's going to be very convincing because he looked so rather forlorn a few seconds ago.]

....Well, I suppose so, yes.

[That's alright, Tetra didn't talk feelings much either. That didn't stop her from showing them or spotting his though. Even without the Triforce of Wisdom, kids were intuitive and Tetra was no exception. Especially growing up on the Great Sea.]

Y'know, she's not really dead. Someone dug up a grave when this floor first appeared and found out it was empty.

[Tetra. Tetra no. This is not how you cheer someone up.]

[chaos occasionally came to the graveyard to mourn over old friends from his universe and new friends that he had made in this universe. However, while he wandered in, he sensed and saw Edgeworth standing near a grave. Concerned about the person, he wandered over to him, looking at the name on the grave.]

...It is always hard to lose a friend, even if they do not die.

[GEEZ CHAOS WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP WHEN EDGEWORTH'S IN TROUBLE? YOU'RE HUMILIATING HIM.

Edgeworth stands up straight and tries to put a stoic face on.]

....Hmmph. Mourning won't help matters. All it does is waste time. [Okay, Maya's disappearance is affecting Edgeworth more than he is letting on but he really is trying not to dwell on it - doing so won't uncover the truth, nor will it punish the administrators for the awful things they did to his friend. Edgeworth has to keep going.]

[CHAOS HAS JUST AS MUCH A RIGHT TO BE HERE AS HE DOES.

Inwardly, chaos sighed at Edgeworth's statement. While it was important to keep moving, there was nothing wrong with dwelling on the past every now and then.]

Actually..I have found that it can sometimes calm a person down or help them move forward. It is not useless.

And how is that any of your business, may I ask? [LOL chaos just because you have become a convenient teleporting transport for Edgeworth because of his reluctance to use the elevator doesn't mean he's gonna spill other bits of his private life to you.]

[Not that chaos really expected him to. However, that comment gave him a lot of room to work with, so he just..kept smiling as he spoke.]

That fact is my business, since it has helped me and others on several occasions.

[Phoenix is, in fact, in his room, lying on his bed. It's been rough, lately, and he wouldn't say he's coping, but he's surviving. He could be worse, when all's said and done. He has his hat in his hands, and he's looking down at it. Trucy made him this hat, and Ema gave him that pin... It seems like a long time since he's seen either of them.

He has to believe he'll see them again.]

[And you will hear a gentle knock on the door, followed by a dull voice.] Wright, are you in there? We need to talk.
