A Conclusion to the White Case
Notes:
Really, really short!
I am trying to catch up on plot but it's been busy and I've been in a cooldown.
Ruby would be fine. They had dinner and distracted themselves from the horrible turnout that was her life. White would be punished accordingly. They rested after the long battle and Phoenix helped Ruby pack and arrange Fiona's funeral. Once word spread to her northern family, they prepared for her to return with them.
Sometime later, Gregory had Miles and Phoenix set up in a small office with a proportionately comparable television. Gregory had them review the one-and-a-half-hour-long tutorial to a safe investigation. Despite Phoenix not actually belonging to the Edgeworth's Law Firm, he put up no resistance and Miles resigned himself to this fate, knowing that this would be an excruciatingly long period of time.
There was the dull informational phase, where Miles was internally saying, 'Yeah. I know. This isn't exactly new information, nor is it riveting.'
Phoenix, on the other hand, stared at the screen completely blank faced. Miles began watching his face instead of the screen, waiting for him to even blink. It was when the video transferred over to the fake and horribly staged 'acting' of an investigation, did Phoenix change his facial expressions.
This was what Phoenix was waiting for. This was what he went to school for.
In perfect sync with the female officer, Phoenix said in a faux perky tone that matched hers, "Oh. There is an open door! And a scream! Should I go in, or should I call back up first!?"
Miles had to look away to keep himself from snorting. Out of all the things he could have expected, he should have expected that the most. For some reason, he didn't. Phoenix stayed with her throughout the entire script, then bounced to her 'backup' and so on, and so forth. He matched tone perfectly and excelled at the 'criminal' part.
And that was how Phoenix Wright kept a boring one-hour-and-a-half-long video of stale acting a memorable experience.
Notes:
Probably what's to come: Miles and Phoenix argue about those ghastly Halloween decorations on his front lawn
