"WHAT?!" I exclaim from the top of my lungs

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME FOR?! I DO NOT REMEMBER DOING ANYTHING WRONG TO YOU!" Franziska yelled through the phone, equally as loud as me.

Explain that do the bruises all over my body

Maya suppresses a laugh, but her eager expression remains plastered across her face.

"Will you be paying him a visit? He still hasn't woken up, but leaving a card or some gifts will be a nice treat to wake to," she asks. I think about Franziska for a minute. She always seems to be a whip-happy teenager, with her somewhat sociopathic tendencies, but underneath all that, she really seems to be a caring little girl. I wonder how she and Edgeworth used to get along.

"Okay, I'll pay him a visit, where is he?"

"Hickfield clinic, I'll be seeing you soon then," she answers before hanging up the phone. I glance at Maya, now looking extremely eager to know what I just found out

"Edgeworth-"I stop, unable to form the sentence lingering in my brain. I still can't believe it.

"What? What is it? Is he okay?" Maya asks, her eyes forming tears at the corners

"He's been poisoned," I finally let out, my voice barely audible

"WHAT?!" she exclaims, resembling to my earlier outburst

"I don't know much either, but let's pay him a visit" I answer before she asks any questions. I put on my blue blazer and take off, with Maya behind me.
