January 11, 11:35 A.M. District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2

Detective Gumshoe raced in with the autopsy report.

He screamed, "Mr. Wright! I have the autopsy report! All filed and ready to go!"

Phoenix asked, "Seriously, detective? They found the cause of death already?"

He answered, "Of course, pal! I would file one of these unless it was official!"

Maya opened it and read, "The cause of death was due to the ingestion of a toxic substance."

She glared at Gumshoe, as if no one on planet Earth knew what "toxic substance" killed him.

Phoenix added, "What exactly exactly killed him?"

Gumshoe replied, "He was killed by ingesting the most toxic poison known to man. Its lethal dose is 100 micrograms. It is known as dendrite neurotoxin. It is the same poison that nearly killed Diego Armando. Upon ingestion, it is absorbed into the nasal passages, and goes into the brain, where it attaches to dendrites, which send signals along neurons."

Maya asked, "Are there any symptoms when you ingest it?"

The detective confirmed, "Yes. It takes less that 30 seconds until the affected person falls into a coma. I've heard that those poisoned feel light-headed, have a severe headache, and cough up blood."

Maya got tears in her eyes. "Poor man..." she sighed. "If only we could have saved him... if only we could have saved Diego..."

Phoenix put his hand on her left shoulder. "Maya, even if Diego had lived, Mia would have still died. Of course, I know that Mia and Diego were in love. Lovers... put to rest."

Maya sobbed, "It's too much! A love story, all gone wrong! All tragedy! It's not the love stories I hear about on TV!"

Phoenix picked her up off the ground a little bit.

"It's all right, Maya. I feel the same way."

She scratched his neck a little bit, and Phoenix kissed her, with tears running down her face.

Phoenix hated to see a girl like Maya cry. She looked so desperate when she did. She cried when Mia died and he first met her. She cried when her mother died. The last thing he wanted her to do was cry.

His hands ran through her hair, and he said, "Maya, you still have me."

She smiled a little. "I guess I do."

To her, that was all that was necessary to get her out of her little moment of depression. Maya sighed and got off the ground.

Pearl then rushed in with Gumshoe, carrying evidence.

She yelled, "Mystic Maya! While you and Mr. Nick were in the trial, I managed to aid the police file..."

Maya interrupted, "An autopsy report, right?"

Pearl answered, "I guess. Whatever that is, anyway."

Gumshoe roared from down the hall, "His death was ruled a homicide!"

Phoenix scratched his head. "I wonder if the judge issued subpoenas to these witnesses."

Pearl asked curiously, "What's a su-peen-uh?"

Phoenix replied, "An order made by a court for a witness to testify."

She sighed, "Oh. But in related news, the police also found another priceless item in Allison Wunderland's house!"

Maya gasped, "What is it?"

She screamed, "This!"

Pearl handed her cousin a large, grey, spherical object. Maya's eyes became the size of golf balls.

She boomed, "This is no petrified pizza! You actually found Ami Fey's box of belongings?"

Pearl confirmed, "Of course I did! And I can't wait to see what's in it!"

Phoenix took the box and slowly lifted its top off.

Maya gasped, "Scrolls! All in Japanese, too! I'll read these when I'm really bored."

Her hands moved deeper in to it, and she found several miniature portraits.

Phoenix took one of them out, and there was a line on the bottom, written in broken English.

"Care to 'xplain this?", it read.

It was a rather strange picture, as it showed Ami Fey in the background, oblivious to whoever was taking it!

Maya screamed, "Come on? Can't you just let my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandma change clothes in peace?"

Pearl laughed hysterically, and fell over, highly amused by the contents.

Phoenix gave it a glare, and snickered, "I bet that picture was taken when she was about 22, because she must've been really stupid to let somebody in there while she was doing that!"

Maya groaned, "Nick! Don't talk bad about her! I mean, you might just be waling down the street with me and Pearly and suddenly, you hear a voice from above. The voice yells, 'Don't make me come down there!' You'll be scared silly!"

Phoenix apologized, "R-Right. Sorry."

Before the three could investigate the mystery of Ami's Box, the intercom blared, "Mr. Phoenix Wright, the trial of Mr. Larry Butz is now resuming. Please take you place in the courtroom at once. And no, we are not providing and escort, in case you were wondering."

The attorney said, "Let's go!"

He ran down the halls, hoping that whoever killed Allison Wunderland and Willy Bill, and stole Ami Fey's stuff was not Larry.
