#grief in ace attorney

No wait, we can still salvage this- we can have Sebastian Debeste AND Eustace Winner hang on.

His full name is Eustace Sebastian Winner. His dad gave him the name Eustace (because he hates him), his mom choose the middle name Sebastian. Debeste was his mother's maiden name. After aai2, Sebastian chooses to go by his middle name and changes his surname to his mother's maiden to fully separate himself from his father- do you hear me we can still win this

[ID: A digital illustration of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. Phoenix is sat at his desk, laying his head sideways on his arms as if he's going to sleep on his desk. His face is largely hidden. On the back of his office chair rests Edgeworth's suit jacket. Several images of Edgeworth occupy the space above Phoenix. The various images of Edgeworth show him looking down, looking off curiously to the side, smiling smugly, frowning, and looking up in shock at confetti falling around him. End description.]

They don’t have a real ref yet, but here’s the concept art of Phoenix and Miles in Lost in Grief!!

do you guys ever think about cece yew

it drives me crazy that everything started with her, but she's never...anything. just a pawn. all she ever wanted to do was the right thing.

and she's the one who started everything! calisto posing as her sister, badd being so affected by not being able to protect them, the yatagarasu literally forming as a direct result of her death!! we don't even KNOW her! no one knows her!

and even years later! edgeworth only being able to use the trump card as proof because it has HER blood on it!! the only way to show that it's the same card as back then! edgeworth bringing the entire smuggling ring to justice and unknowingly following in her footsteps!

she was AT MOST 19 when she died! the youngest murder victim in the entire series!

i am going to cry!

PW:AA Spoilers (1-4)!

one of my favorite things about miles edgeworth is how profoundly human he is. we're led to believe he's abandoned all morals leading up to 1-3. then, his interference gets your client a not guilty verdict and you start thinking there's some good left in him. come 1-4, his facade slips and you glimpse upon how caring he truly is, what with him trying to keep phoenix out of dl-6 (and, as a consequence, away from defending him) + paying maya's bail after she's held in contempt of court.

he subverts every expectation you have about someone who falls under his character archetype. i was especially moved by his dialogue in the detention center.

exhibit A:

Phoenix: Can I ask you about the murder? Edgeworth: Wright. I'll ask you again, just leave me alone. Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: Please try to understand. I'm not doing this to prove I'm tough, or because I look down on you. I just don't want you anywhere near this case. Understand?

exhibit B:

Phoenix: Edgeworth? Edgeworth: It's only been a matter of hours since you last visited. Yet you've made incredible progress in your investigation. I'll admit it, I'm impressed, Wright. You were always single-minded in your work, though. Once you start on something, you always see it through, don't you? Phoenix: About the "DL-6 Incident"... Edgeworth: Right... DL-6. I didn't want you to find out about it. That is why I refused your offer to defend me. I'm sorry if it sounded like I thought you weren't up to the job. I just wanted to keep you away from DL-6.

he's quick to reassure phoenix that this isn't about pride or faith in phoenix's capabilities, though he'd used petty insults to ward phoenix off earlier.

i'm of the (unpopular?) opinion that of phoenix and edgeworth, edgeworth is a far warmer person. it's why i can't quite buy yamazaki's edgeworth in most cases, but that's a topic for a different post i already have drafted.

this also isn't meant to undermine the gravity of edgeworth's mistakes as the "demon prosecutor". it's very likely he put away innocents while burying his past. i do strongly believe the first game (and every game in the first trilogy, really) rounds the characters in a way the second trilogy often couldn't, though, and it's that charm that makes the first trilogy feel timeless.
