Idk guys, when I go into something, I don't expect or require all loose ends to be tied up by the end. It's nice when they are, but ultimately unnecessary for me as long as there's character development for me to enjoy. It's certainly more interesting that Elise is Misty, but I was open to anything.

Case 3-5 - Bridge to the Turnabout

We go a-wanderin to find out even more information today. Iris has Psyche Locks, Pearly has Psyche Locks, Gumshoe has a metal detector, and Edgeworth is still beating himself up over his earthquake DL-6 related trauma.

Talking with Sister Bikini reveals that the matter of Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique is a highly competitive process, usually but not always going to the eldest daughter of the main family. The remaining sisters form their own branch families, but theres usually tension for obvious reasons. In this case, Morgan Fey was the eldest daughter, but Misty Feys overwhelming power and skill at the Technique conferred on her the Master title. Morgan was always bitter about it - unbeknownst to us, Pearly is not an only child. Morgan had twin daughters, Iris and Dahlia, before her.

Morgan did not become the Master, and with Mistys shame and disappearance following DL-6, the marriage fell apart. When Morgans husband left, he took the twins with him. Iris was given up to Hazakura Temple to be raised, and Dahlia was raised as his own with a new wife and then step-sister Valerie.

We speak to Edgeworth, who has informed us that for her crimes, Dahlia was sentenced to death and executed last month. He thinks this removes Dahlia from the equation - but we know better. After all, the whole point of the Kurain Channeling Technique is to summon those from beyond the grave. We must poke around and see whodunit! Apparently Edgeworth took Gumshoe out for pasta, and we mildly chastise him for this - due to those salary cuts, the man eats enough noodles as it is.

Gumshoes in the courtyard, singing to himself [to the Victor Kudo theme from 3-3 Recipe for Turnabout, no less]. We talk to him and he lets us take a spin with his metal detector, as hes trying to find the actual murder weapon [the ceremonial sword aint it]. We find a sword embedded inside Mystic Elise/Mistys cane, and Gumshoe wants to get it tested by forensics. We urge him to hold off, depending on what is found, it could mean trouble for Maya. He gives us a half burned letter that was found in the incinerator near the Inner Temple. Gumshoe is just a dopey ray of sunshine in every single case. I dont know what it is - that beaming smile, the silly jokes, the personal anecdotes, the unflagging dedication [persistence over efficiency, but hey]. Gumshoes eyes sparkle as he describes the great pasta restaurant he went to with Edgeworth and offers to take me and Maya there when this is all over. I just love him, but get the man a raise, please.

Breaking Iriss Psyche Locks reveals that Bikini saw her at the Inner Temple, which means she was in two places at once because there were two of her. We present her with Dahlia, and despite her weak protests, we insist that someone channeled Dahlia that night! Iris indeed stayed by the Hazakura Temple, while Dahlia was at the Inner Temple. Iris didnt want to get in her way, since she botched helping with the fake kidnapping all those years ago, leading to consequences for Dahlia. They didnt do it for the money, Iris insists they did it to get revenge on their father.

We scoot on over to Heavenly Hall, where Larry insists misfits and losers gather. Hes cooking potatoes for himself and Pearl to eat. We finally break through Pearlys Psyche Locks, finding that the burned letter was from Morgan herself, instructing Pearl to channel Dahlia and let her do the rest. The gravy-slimed scroll is evidence that Pearly was doing her best despite not completely understanding what the letter asked of her - it said to gravely roast the scroll, and although she went over how to read the phrase with Elise/Misty, she hadnt learned the meaning of the phrase.

Tomorrow, were in court! Fun fact, the date span of this case includes my birthday.

See you then!
