“Eternal brainrot.”

I humbly present my pitch for pl vs aa 2: Professor Layton vs. The Great Ace Attorney!

(pls click for better quality idk why it keeps doing this)

In which Professor Layton and Luke (and hopefully Flora bc I love her) suffer time travel shenanigans and end up in the late 1800's following clues in the past to help them unravel a mystery in the present, and joined by Ryunosuke and Susato.

Maybe there's a subplot with Phoenix and Maya in the present trying to uncover clues Professor Layton left them in the past, like through the archeological artifacts in his office or sm.

This scene means so much to me. It adresses Phoenix's obsession over saving people, and that includes the fact that Phoenix felt responsible for saving Miles - but he's no hero, all he could do was... give Miles the 'truth'. 'You were the one who taught me how'... Miles had to leave in order to change, to save himself from what he was becoming. He wasn't Phoenix's responsability, he couldn't be. But it was thanks to the 'truth' Phoenix gifted him that Miles could find (and save) himself. I intended to add the EN version as well for comparison but tumblr doesn't like multiple videos-posts. I wanted to mention this version difference though, since Edgeworth straight-up says the following at the end:
