Can we repent this sin? No soul is innocent (Everybody wants to love).

Summary:

Miles Edgeworth: A stoic man who disregards the common man in pursuit of justice. Guilty until proven innocent, under the cuffs of his moral high ground. Yet this changed after meeting you, who was so desperate to climb the ranks and become a prosecutor... A woman who threw the very tact he holds dear to a dartboard.

Speaking of you: Finding the true culprit of the most heinous crimes required an inside job. You act as a hired hand, fighting for the evidence to speak in favor of true justice--Not some legally binding jargon. You attempted to make a name for yourself and save the town from the evil crawling inside its walls.

But for you, the mystery of it all has backfired. Instead of becoming a public hero, you are labeled as a criminal. The "Bilateral Insider": A masked thief who threatens the privacy of the very city you aspired to protect. A force of terror upon the citizens you tried to help.

To free yourself from this web, you attempt to find atonement. The only man who you think can help save you now is a ball of locks: Miles Edgeworth, the King of Prosecutors.

Will you break him down? Will you gain his trust? Can Justice save you as it saved so many before?

Chapter 1: Introductory Questions to the Readers

Chapter Text

Hey guys! I just wanted to start off the chapter with a few questions. I always like it when readers gives their input, so here I go. Would you guys like me to give the reader a name? I have an OC name in mind by the name of Marine, it's pretty gender-neutral if not more feminine. If there's a gender you'd like me to use, please let me know. If Y/N suits you better, i'll try to use that. This is just a chapter to gauge ideas! How would you guys prefer for me to go about it? Thank you for your time!! Let me know in the comments!! Love ya!
