Edgeworth is thrown in the slammer, with nothing to his name except Kays Yatagarasu badge. Before I can even check under the bed to see if the tunnel is still here, Gumshoe comes to visit, so Edgeworth heads to the interrogation room. Except its not Gumshoe: Iis Courtney! At first I think shes here to reveal a big secret, like Ive been testing you all this time to see if you can beat Blaise (still my going theory) but shes just here to ask why. Why Edgeworth is so committed to going against the PIC at the expense of his career. Edgeworth says the me from before had power. Which is why I thought justice was on my side. Another great line. This is probably the "smartest" AA game. Courtney still gives off some big secret good guy vibes, though.

Then Blaise stops by to make fun of me on his way to locking up Kay. The logic chess here is long and circular. Ultimately we figure out that Blaise knows that Kay's being set up and doesn't care. Truth is what you make it! This came out in 2011- if only this game had been released in the States, maybe it could have spared us the last ten years of cultural deterioration.

Following this, Edgeworth appears before the PIC. I dont really see what the point of this is, given that he already turned in the badge. Shouldnt he just be in court? I guess I should stop trying to figure out AAs legal system. This does kind of bother me though, as the hearing moves on to talk about the murder itself. Why is this happening now and not in front of old Udgey? Anyway, Blaise gives Edgeworth one last chance to withdraw his objections and play along, which Edgeworth turns down.

Then Blaise gives Edgeworth the evidence back, I guess because he doesnt think anything will come of it. *Tsk.* Idiot. All you had to do was not give him the evidence back. This is where suspension of disbelief comes in and I have to remind myself well the way the game is set up, culprits have to be completely over-confident morons in order for the game to exist the way it does, so just dont think about it. However, this is ultimately why Investigations as a series just doesnt really work for me, because so much of the story relies on antagonists being undone by hubris over and over and over again.

Next: Edgeworth on trial (except not really? Again, I don't understand what's really happening here).
