Summary
Trucy’s daddy hasn’t been around much lately. She knows he’s off on his “secret mission,” whatever that may be—and isn’t that the thing that bugs her the most. He’s kept secrets from her before, sure—where her birthday presents are hidden, the fact that he’s in love with Uncle Edgeworth, the truth behind his “grape juice”—but he’s never been this unreadable to her. He’s never felt so far away.
It's like the way she gets when she’s working out a new trick, mind off in a world of angles and misdirections and perfectly-timed maneuvers until it clicks. Except that when she gets lost, her daddy is always there to tell her to turn her thinking around, to eliminate possibilities until she finds the truth, hits on the secret behind the trick that makes the whole thing fall into place.
Trucy always, always figures out the secret behind the trick.
Or, a parent disappeared and a parent reappeared; one trick concluded, and another just begun.
