Edgeworth shows up and goes 'eeey sorry I couldn't help you out back then', and it's like, why Edgeworth? Why couldn't you or anyone else help Phoenix out back then?
"I'm sorry Phoenix but it was a really crazy couple of weeks before that happened and I needed a good 7 years to decompress."
Real talk though, the only reason for the massive time gap in this game is Trucy. Even though 7 years isn't enough time to fool us into thinking it's his biological daughter, they needed some time gap to give it an air of mystery and forge a believable bond between her and Phoenix.
