The prompt: I just watched a movie and this prompt popped into my head.

So Edgeworth ran very high fever in Dual destinies / SOJ era, his temperatures reached 110 or 112 and he fell into half coma. He always delirious about a woman, everyone has no idea who he was referring to until Franziska realized the woman is Kay. The doctor said that the woman needs to come otherwise Edgeworth will fall into definitive coma. The problem is, no one knows or heard about Kay for years.

Franziska, Phoenix, Maya and the others begin to search her.

Super bonus point if when Kay come, she make Edgeworth stop delirious and wake up with saying sweet poem.

Cedar Sinai Hospital, Emergency Unit Room
October 12th , 2028

The white room was so dim and quiet. The only sound heard was the heavy voice of a man who kept delirious non-stop, and the crying sound of a woman. Franziska Von Karma, the Prodigy Prosecutor, only could caress her 'little brother' hands that feels so hot. While tears drops continued to fall from her eyelids.

"Don't go! Back! Please, come back! Don't leave me! You're the woman I need in my life! Please don't! Don't!" It's been more than two hours Miles Edgeworth, the Chief Prosecutor, shouting the same words, while his head did not stop moving from right to left, and his pale face became paler as a result of the drenching sweat.

"There, there, little brother. Please, wake up..." Franziska whispered as she stroked her little brother's hair even though her efforts did not work. The sound of footsteps made her jumped. She then hurriedly wiped her tears away.

"Miss Von Karma? Mr. Edgeworth hasn't stopped delirious yet?" Maya Fey asked quietly. Franziska shook her head in desperation.

"He's been like this for 2 weeks, Maya, I'm afraid if Miles..." Franziska replied in a choked voice. Maya stroked her shoulders gently.

"Don't think anything bad, Franziska, Mr. Edgeworth will be fine and get well soon."

"But he doesn't stop delirious and his temperature keeps going up, Maya!"

A doctor, Dr. Gary Aiken, then stepped in with bring a sedative and a thermometer.

"Good morning, ladies. Mr. Edgeworth has not shown any signs of progress?"

Maya and Franziska shook their heads simultaneously.

With a sigh, Dr. Aiken approached Edgeworth's bed. Carefully, he injected a sedative in Edgeworth's arm and measured his temperature. The sedation worked a little. Edgeworth stopped delirious and just mumbled 'hmmm ...'

"How about it, Doctor? Is Miles' condition gets worse?"

"Yes, as I told you 2 days ago, Miss Von Karma. Mr. Edgeworth is half-comatose."

"And there's nothing you can do to make my little brother conscious and heal him?" Franziska asked again as biting her lip.

Staring fiercely at Franziska, Dr. Aiken replied, "My answer is still the same, Miss Von Karma. You must bring the woman. The woman who always Mr. Edgeworth call in his delirium. That's the only way to make Mr. Edgeworth woke up."

"But…. But... we didn't even know who the woman is, Dr. Aiken? What if we can't find the woman?" asked Maya.

"Which means, Mr. Edgeworth will fall into a definitive coma."

Both Franziska and Maya fell silent.

A woman. Edgeworth didn't known many women in his life. Who was this woman who meant so much to Edgeworth, who he kept calling in his serious sickness?

Staring blankly at the window of the ICU room, Franziska tried to recall women who had appeared in Edgeworth's life.

Could it be the woman that Edgeworth meant is Lana Skye? No, it's extremely unlikely. She is in prison for fabricating evidence in the SL-9 case. The woman also used Edgeworth's car to put Bruce Goodman's dead body. It was unlikely that Edgeworth wanted to meet a woman who almost made him a suspect for the second time.

Justine Courtney? No, she has a husband and son. Edgeworth isn't that low. He's not that kind of man. He will not attempt to seize the woman whom others already have.

Rhoda Teneiro? No, Edgeworth and Rhoda met only once on the plane. There was no way Edgeworth could had such a deep feeling to a woman he'd met only once.

Who is it, then? Who does Edgeworth mean?

Franziska closed her eyes, trying to think harder. She gasped when she remembered a name.

Kay Faraday.

The woman who was so protected by Edgeworth. The woman who made Edgeworth desperately risked his prosecutor's badge only to prove her innocence in the murder of Jill Crane. Edgeworth's eyes were so sincere when he pleaded to Kay for trust him. Edgeworth's loud voice when he shouted 'Believe in me, who believe in your innocence.'

It seems there is no mistake that the woman Edgeworth meant in his sickness is Kay Faraday, The Great Noble Thief Yatagarasu.

But... 8 years have passed since Jill Crane's murder case. If it was Kay who Edgeworth wants to meet, how could they find her? It's been 8 years since Kay has been disappeared without a word, not even telling them her phone number, and how to contact her...

How can they find her?

The 26-years-old girl opened a sheet of photo albums in her room. She smiled sadly as she looked at the photo after photo. Almost everyone in this photo, has disappeared from her life. Her mother, her father, her best friend, Regina, and...

Kay Faraday stopped flipped page by page for a moment. Her eyes stared deeply into the photograph. The handsome, gray-haired man, who had been very cold and almost never smiled for the rest of his life, smiled broadly in the photograph. His hands caressed Kay's hair with affection. Kay remembered when this picture was taken. The photo was taken when they had dinner, celebrating their success for catching Simon Keyes.

Miles Edgeworth...

8 years have passed since this photo was taken. How is the life of the handsome man who had saved her life now? Who reckless risked his prosecutor badge, which he so proud of, just to prove that she, Kay, was innocent in that case? Is Edgeworth still remembering her? No. Kay shook her head slowly. He is a Chief Prosecutor now. He's handsome. Rich. Famous. Many beautiful and elegant women crazy of him. He must be married to a model now, and has cute kids. Kay smiled a little. If only she could have courage to acknowledge her feelings to Edgeworth before she disappeared from his life…

Her mind then go to when the last time she met Edgeworth, just a few days after her 19th birthday.. The guilt was haunting her.

She almost choked on her food when she learned that Blaise Debeste ordered one of his men to shoot Edgeworth. Debeste wants to get revenge with Edgeworth. Because Edgeworth prove Kay's innocence and prove the real culprit in Jill Crane's murder is Blaise. It's all because of her. She, Kay Faraday, not only made Edgeworth close to losing his prosecutor's badge, but also made Edgeworth close to losing his life.

Then… she had noticed only a few days ago that she loved Edgeworth.

But not…. She had to get away from Edgeworth. Forever. That way, she will not get Edgeworth in danger again. For her feelings, let her buried it as deeply as possible. Anyway, how could Edgeworth return her feelings? It must be for Edgeworth, she, Kay Faraday is nothing more than an innocent little girl.

She packed her things. She had to move from Los Angeles. To forget everything. Forgetting her mother's death. Forgetting her father's murder. Forgetting she was ever accused of killing twice. And forget about Miles Edgeworth, the man she loves. She will move on and start a new life.

With a dragging step because her suitcase was quite heavy, Kay walked toward Los Angeles airport. She will move to San Jose, and leave the old Kay Faraday.

"Kay!"

She turned around. She found it hard to believe her eyes. Miles Edgeworth stood breathless, his face full of sweat, and there was a wounded expression on his face. Kay hurriedly turned away, eager to disappear, but she was late. Edgeworth swiftly ran toward her, then clutching her arm.

"Kay? Why did you just leave without telling me?"

She can only be silent. She did not want to see his face. Ah why when she wanted to forget the man forever, he instead appeared and held her like this?

"Let me go, Miles. I can miss the plane." She struggled to hold her tears to fall.

"At least explain why you just left without telling me! Gumshoe who tells you you're moving. Why, Kay? Did I do something wrong to you? Did I ever say anything that offends you?" Edgeworth asked in a full of pain tone.

Kay ventured to lift her face. Their eyes then met. She shook her head slowly.

"I just don't want to endanger your life anymore, Miles."

"Kay? What do you mean? Please explain…!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE, MILES! LET GO OF ME NOW! WOULD BE BETTER IF WE DID NOT MEET AGAIN FOREVER!" Without Kay aware, her face was full of tears now. She thought Edgeworth would hold her, but he did not. Edgeworth slowly released his hand from her arm.

"All right, if that's what you want. I... I will not disturb your life anymore. Goodbye, Kay. Good luck in your new life."

As Kay was about to turn around, she had a strange feeling that Edgeworth seemed to be saying something again. She waited, but Edgeworth just looked at him with grief, then waved his hand. Reluctantly, Kay waved back, and entered the airport.

As Kay disappears from sight, Edgeworth whispers softly.

"Kay... I love you."
