Lana Skye woke up in her cell thinking it was just another ordinary day in the slammer. As she proceeded through her normal morning routine, a thought suddenly dawned on her. "Today's my last day!" she said to herself. As joyous as this revelation was, it occurred to Lana that she was slightly depressed about leaving as well. After all, the past 4 years of her life had been spent in this cell. What was she to do once she finally gained her freedom? "It's not like I can get my old job back," she sighed. "And furthermore, I'm going to need a place to stay. There's so much I have to figure out!" Just as she finished this thought, the guards came around to gather her for her release.
When Lana stepped out into the bright sun, it took her a moment for her eyes to adjust to the drastic change in light. A few seconds later, however, she noticed a slightly blurry figure with what appeared to be spiky hair just outside the prison gate. "Am I seeing things?" she thought to herself. "Could it really be him?" Soon, her questions were answered as the one and only Phoenix Wright approached her. "It's good to see you again, Lana" he said. "Before you ask, I'm here to pick you up. Consider it one of many favors I owe Ema for the all the times she's helped me. Where are you headed?"
"Well, that's the thing, Phoenix…" Lana quietly replied. "I don't have anywhere to go. I have pretty much nothing – no home, no job, almost no possessions. It's like I'm starting from scratch."
"In that case Lana, I must request that you stay with me for a while, at least until you find a place again. I can't do anything directly, but I can put in a good word for you with some of my friends."
"That's most kind of you, Phoenix. I'll do what I can to get on my feet again so I don't disturb you for too long."
And with that, Phoenix and Lana headed for Phoenix's apartment. As the prison receded from her view, Lana thought to herself, "Finally, the darkest chapter of my life has completely come to an end. It's time to start a new one." Little did she know however that it would not be as easy as she thought…
