#i'm having a narumitsu moment if you haven't noticed

[trlvsn]

sorry for the overwhelming amount of narumitsu thoughts im having but like. what really really gets me every time is the choosing death and forging the ace parallels because there are so many possibilities. miles edgeworth dies and makes phoenix thing he's exactly what the public viewed his as: a man who's pride got the best of him. phoenix wright forges the ace. what does miles edgeworth think? at first i pictured it as this huge fight with a "it would have been better if you never came back from the dead/stepped foot in court" moment but then i remembered miles already has deeper, less black-and-white knowledge of how the legal system works and how some decisions can be complicated. phoenix, on the other hand?? as justifiable as his motivations for forging the evidence are, he still presents himself as this guy who "maybe did actually forge the page seven years ago, it doesn't matter" and feels somewhat deserving of the public's reaction and apollo's punch. honestly, him forging the ace and telling apollo is a punishment to himself - so i feel like he would tell edgeworth too, as a kind of "you have been so convinced i was this brilliant and wronged guy for all these years, well what do you think of me now" move. i can imagine phoenix confessing the forgery over the phone and hanging up, drawing conclusions before edgeworth even gets to speak. i can imagine him getting hit by the damn car next day after the call. i can imagine miles edgeworth coming into the hospital and feeling a sense of deja vu, but this time, he is the one to pick up the magatama from the stand near the hospital bed and express very clearly he does not give a shit about the forgery but wright you are being an asshole and hiding something and you will let me break the locks that will appear right now. respectfully. god knows phoenix wouldn't talk about the jury system plans otherwise. the parallels man the parallels get me every time
