    Summary

    “Today,” Miles says, voice thick, “when I wake up, von Karma won’t be waiting for me. He always is—eight sharp, suite twelve twenty-eight at the office, every morning. But not today.” He swallows. “I have nowhere to be today. No one to report to. No objective whatsoever.”

    Phoenix’s voice is soft and small when he says:

    “You can do anything.”

    Miles nods. “I can do anything.”

    “What are you gonna do?”

    “I don’t know…” Miles says, and his hands tighten around the steering wheel. “I’m not used to having the choice.”

    (In which Miles Edgeworth learns to navigate life as a free man following the conclusion of his trial.)

    Summary

    “I’m Phoenix Wright,” the man says, “rookie time traveller. It’s nice to meet you.”

    Rookie time traveller, huh. Miles has nine long lives to spend on earth, so maybe this is a welcomed change.

    “Miles Edgeworth.” He shakes Phoenix's hand. “I’ve lived five hundred and seventy three years so far, but this is the first time I’ve met someone like you.”

    Summary

    They say this shit to each other at the end of the trip because it’s the end of the trip. They won’t see each other until the next transatlantic flight, until the new year. It doesn’t count and it’s not real. They say it, they do it, maybe Miles will take Phoenix’s hand from Phoenix’s lap and hold it at all the red lights between here and the airport—they can allow themselves these things, when everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.

    They’ve had the sex, Phoenix has taken his shower, maybe Miles will get soppy and do the thing with the hand in the car but—now they’re done. Until next time.

    ——

    Phoenix spends some time in Berlin.

    Summary

    "Who am I supposed to go to Samurai World with? I don’t want to go alone like a loser!”

    Nick taps his chin. “You could try asking Edgeworth. He’s probably not a theme park guy, but he likes the Steel Samurai. There’s a pretty nice figure by the windowsill in his office.”

    Maya’s face screws up. “I can’t ask Edgeworth to go to a theme park! We’re not nearly close enough for that. It’d be so awkward.”

    “You’ve got a few months.” Nick takes a swig of his coffee. “You could try getting closer to him.”

    “You want me to befriend the world’s most unapproachable man."

    ***

    There's a Steel Samurai theme park opening and Maya's buddy of choice is unavailable for opening day. Phoenix might know a fellow super-fan she could convince to attend in his place.
