    Summary

    Something is wrong with Meta Knight. He's unfocused, distracted, so unlike him.
    Dark Meta Knight isn't worried, of course. He'd never be. He's looking at his doppelganger through mirrors just 'cause he wants to understand more.

    He's seen that unfocused, panicked, afraid face before. On himself.

    OR: Nightmare comes back to life, Meta Knight suffers the consequences as the wizard tries to control him. Despite his better judgement, DMK steps in.

    Summary

    “These incidents are connected,” Miles tells the SIU Director, in the earliest meeting with the man he can get. “They have to be. Someone is causing them, and leaving these marks behind, and, somehow, they’re getting away with it.” He straightens as much as he can, hands curling into fists. “Those that are guilty cannot be allowed to walk free. I will not let that stand.”

    The Director regards him impassively, hands steepled together in front of his face.

    “An interesting observation, Mr. Edgeworth,” he says, eventually. He lets out an exhale, then pushes himself up in his chair. “Though quite a lot for only one person to handle on their own, surely.” He cocks his head, and offers Miles the barest hint of a smile, eyes sharp. “Why don’t we pair you with someone that can help split the work?”

    He, as Miles already suspects, is not talking about Detective Gumshoe.

     

    Or,

    There are, as it would happen, quite a number of things going on in 2016.
