I just noticed how similar to each other are these scenes. They're basicaly the same.

The first one is from Turnabout Goodbyes. He didn't talk with Phoenix for 15 years and probably expected him to treat this like a karmic justice after their trials.

But the second one happens in t&t. At this point they know each other well and Edgeworth doesn't really have a reason to think that Phoenix will react this way.

Which leads me to believe that Edgeworth's reactions here are a part of subconscious defense mechanism.

Both of this conversations take place in a difficult time for him. His dl-6 related arrest and earthquake.

He considers this events getting to him as a weakness and tries really hard to not show how it's affecting him.

His first reaction is to just avoid conversation but when that doesn't work he lashes out and puts on a facade of pride and acts like he's above any of this.

I think why he reacts this way may have something to do with MvK being his mentor. He probably shamed Edgeworth for being emotional and being an awful person he maybe even laughed at Edgeworth for this. And thats why Edgeworth subconsciously braces himself for similar reaction from others.

Sorry long post. This just made me emotional when I noticed it.

Screenshots are from here btw

Ught. Manfred is awful. And poor Edgeworth just takes it.

I love how Franziska takes focus off of Edgeworth and shifts her fathers attention to help Miles. I wonder how often she must have been doing it.

I was wondering when he learned about it. I don't think that Edgeworth told him first because before this case he hadn't talked about dl-6 with anyone. So it probably must have been when they've started working as prosecutor-detective duo more often.

Now I'm imagining Edgeworth during his bratworth phase having a panick attack when unexpected earthquake happens when they're working on the case. Gumshoe at first doesn't know what's happening but he's quick to comfort and support Edgeworth.

Just Gumshoe finding out that Edgeworth has this other vulnerable side besides his prosecutor persona.

Feenie often visits courthouse to learn law stuff. Bratworth starts seeing him there and goes to ridiculous lenghts to avoid him.

Therapist: Your friends seem like caring and supportive people. Maybe you can try to talk with them about it.

Making up for that she declares herself Edgeworth's big sister and tries to show and teach him everything there is to know about the mansion.

At first Edgeworth is hesitant about all of this but him and Franziska quickly form a sibling bond and now are at the point when they can playfully tease each other.

Franziska can't help but notice how tired Miles looks during the days. One night she finds the reason for that. She couldn't sleep and decided to grab some snack from the kitchen.

When she was walking past Edgeworth's room and heard something sounding like muffled crying. The door was slightly open so she let herself in.

Inside on the middle of the bed was sitting her little brother, wrapped in bankets, quietly sobbing. Franziska didn't know what to do but she tried her best to comfort him and hugged him.

They stayed like that until Edgeworth calmed down. He assured her that it was just a nightmare and that she should go back to sleep as well.
