Klavier Gavin:

"Over the last few months, quite a few prosecutors have been cut from their positions at the office. Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth has been cracking down as much as possible to thin the herd down to those who can truly be counted on. If you ask me though, I believe that he may have found some outside help, ja? I wonder if he was truly able to uncover so much over the course of just a few months... Though I suppose it doesn't matter too much as long as the guilty parties are removed. I have to wonder how Apollo has been doing lately though. If you ask me, he must have something else on his mind these days too. He seems to get fidgety a lot more than before, and that's certainly an accomplishment. Whatever it is that he's been thinking about, I'm sure he's just as relieved as I am that all of this is over. That's what matters most in my mind."

Simon Blackquill:

"It's nice to know that so much of the scum from the Prosecutor's Office is gone now. I wouldn't want anyone like that to remain in power no matter how hard they tried to escape. If they hadn't been pushed out by the combined force of the chief prosecutor and Oracle's exposures, I imagine that Taka would have enjoyed a fine feast on the flesh of cowards... Oh, well. Speaking of Oracle, it seems as if they've begun to work together with the mysterious Yatagarasu if the news is anything to go off. I doubt anyone ever expected to see the day the two of them joined forces again, but it matters little. As long as they can pick out the rot from the rest of the world, I'm satisfied. It's better in their hands than it is in mine... And I'm confident they feel the same way."

Darcie Russell:

"I heard about the results from the trial... At long last, the man responsible for all my suffering is gone. He was a coward to the bitter end, but he's out of the picture now at the very least. Soon enough, he'll be facing his own trial, and when the time comes, he'll be locked up in prison too. ...I don't regret what I did in order to make sure that monster Turner saw what was coming to him. Nobody else was going to make sure justice was served, and as long as I could take one beast out of the world, that's what matters most. Detective Ponce was working with him the whole time, I can only assume... He had better hope that I don't run into him in prison. That won't end well for either one of us... But as long as he's facing justice, I know my brother is resting well. After all these years of suffering, Darken... You can be at peace."

Franziska von Karma:

"It seems the intrigue surrounding the Oracle case has only skyrocketed over the course of the last few weeks. The trial where Reva Nyde was said to be Oracle only for that to be taken away has earned everyone's attention. I suppose all we can do now is wonder what the truth was. Since Fleur's research was stolen when she passed away, I have no easy way of picking up where she left either, not that I was particularly planning on it. Oracle can stay in their own corner for all I care. After a case involving them ended with me being arrested, I don't have much of a desire to track down the truth. I suppose that's simply going to have to fall into the hands of others... Even if the search ultimately turns out to be little more than a fool's errand."

Shi-Long Lang:

"I didn't think it was possible, but everyone seems even more excited about Oracle ever since that trial about Reva Nyde's death. I can't tell if that's for the best or not, but I'm not going to ask any questions about it either. The work of a wolf is never finished, and I'm still making up for lost time. I've recovered well since the incident where I was attacked, but I've also decided that I'm going to do my best to not wind up in a position that could end that way again. The most frustrating part of it all wasn't even the injury itself, just the fact that I was kept away from my work for so long after the fact. At least I'm back on my feet now, and nothing will be able to stop me this time! I'd like to see the world try it!"

Sebastian Debeste:

"I've been trying to avoid Edgeworth Law Offices when I can, especially at night. I keep getting paranoid that I'm going to look out the window again and see a dead body in the alleyway... N-Not that I'm afraid or anything! It's just not something I want to deal with again! Justine told me everything that happened in that trial is wrapped up now. The one behind the murders that motivated that case is now in prison, and he's not going anywhere for a long time. I keep trying to ask Justine for more details, but she just smiles and tells me that it doesn't matter... I don't know what happened in that trial, but I'm not going to let her keep the secret from me forever! One of these days, I'm going to figure it out, and she won't be able to stop me from trying either!"

Raymond Shields:

"I think Sebastian's been avoiding the office. I can't really say I blame him since the last time he was here, we wound up finding a dead body outside, but... Well, it's alright. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of excuses to talk to him at the Prosecutor's Office in the future. I've heard that Miles and Kay have been up to a lot around there. It seems she's working for him on a much more regular basis now. Coincidentally, a lot of prosecutors from the previous chief prosecutor's term are getting fired for corruption scandals at the same time... Knowing those two troublemakers, I would say those two things are connected. As long as everything is solved though, it's fine with me... Though I would love to know the secret that has them able to work this fast... It's impressive and then some if you ask me."

Juniper Woods:

"I can't seem to stop thinking about that case even all this time later... I was so close to a criminal all that time and didn't even know it! Looking back now though, I think part of me knew it was all going to be fine from the start. It was a long and difficult case, but I'm glad everything is wrapped up now. Thena insisted that I show her a nice park a few weeks after the fact so we could go on a date there... I think she's decided that she doesn't want to go back to Hawk Park after winding up caught up in a case like that. I'm fine with it though. As long as I have an excuse to show her more parks, I have an excuse to take her out on more dates... J-Just don't tell her I said that, okay? It's a bit embarrassing... I wanted it to be a secret.

Justine Courtney:

"I've had quite a bit of work on my hands as of late. It seems Mr. Wright meant it when he said that Oracle would find out if people were acting outside of the view of the Goddess of Law... I've judged many cases over the last few weeks involving those who have been involved with larger businesses and their hidden scandals. The cases that don't tie in with that theme are from prosecutors who have been released from their positions as a result of forging evidence. I never would have thought Oracle could grow more popular or infamous, but it seems I jumped to conclusions a bit too soon. As long as those who need to see justice are facing it though... I'll judge as many cases as I have to in this vein. I'll make sure those who have betrayed the Goddess of Law see their due retribution... This I solemnly swear."

Maggey Byrde:

"After that last trial, we started up our investigation into Oracle again. It took us a while to come to the conclusion that... We weren't going to find much of anything. It was a bit disappointing to come so short no matter where we looked, but I suppose we shouldn't have expected to figure out much of anything after all that Oracle had done to hide their identity. I have to wonder if the chief prosecutor figured out what was going on... Mr. Edgeworth must know at least something if he called off the investigation, and that was what Reva Nyde did when she figured it out too... I'll have to ask him about it when I get the chance, though I doubt he's going to tell me that easily. Oh, well... At least things have started to calm down, all things considered. That has to count for something, right?"

Dick Gumshoe:

"Kay didn't waste any time in jumping right back into the Oracle investigation, pal. Just between you and me, she's been using her knowledge as the Yatagarasu to try and dig a bit deeper than she's been able to before now. I think she might have figured something out, but she hasn't said anything about it to me or Maggey. I'll try to ask her about it when I get the chance. I thought she was going to take a bit of a break before getting back into it, but I guess that's Kay for you, always so excited to learn everything she can about the rest of the world. I'm more than happy to keep up this break for a little longer after that long trial though... Not even a month would fully help everyone to recover from all of that, if you ask me. I'm going to take this chance while I have it."

Pearl Fey:

"Mr. Nick made Mystic Maya and I promise to not say anything we heard in the hospital room after the case ended. We haven't said a word about it to each other or anyone else, but Mystic Maya sometimes shows me news reports on her phone when she hears that Oracle has been doing something. She wants to go back to see Mr. Nick at some point soon so that we can hear what he's been up to with all of this. For now though, I'm enjoying a bit of time without us getting wrapped up in a crime. Trucy is supposed to come for a visit soon, and I want to make sure everything turns out okay. Maybe we'll get lucky and not have any problems if she comes here instead of me going there... That's what I'm hoping for, at least."

Maya Fey:

"After that entire disaster of a case, Franziska and I had a fun time out on our date. It was certainly earned after how much happened in the trial. She thinks that I know something she doesn't though... Not that I'm going to tell her or anything. Nick said I should stay quiet about it, and I agree. Sorry to Franzy for that one, but I'm not going to break that promise. Pearly isn't talking about it either, but that's for the best too. I've been showing her news articles when it comes up though. It still kind of stuns me when I see that stuff about Oracle since I remember that the one behind it is a spirit medium too. Maybe that's my cue to go out and do spy things too. Nick would totally say no, but i think it could be fun. You never know what you're going to find, after all!"

Kay Faraday:

"I've been curious about Oracle ever since I first heard they helped me out with exposing the previous chief prosecutor... Though I never would have thought they would be so close by all that time. With a bit of digging, I was able to find everything I was looking for in order to reveal the truth. I haven't brought it up with Chrysalis yet, but I'm planning on doing that soon. I think it would be a perfect chance for us to keep working together long into the future. I mean, we've already done good work as a team in the past, so why stop now? For now, I've been sticking with Mr. Edgeworth to see what I can do in the Prosecutor's Office, and between me and Oracle, we've weeded out a lot of trash. Oh, life is good for the Yatagarasu! ...Just don't tell anyone I said that, okay?"

Miles Edgeworth:

"Kay has been spending more time with me at the Prosecutor's Office as of late to help uncover any other prosecutors who may have been forging evidence. Oracle began digging up evidence about other potentially corrupt prosecutors about a week after the Reva Nyde murder case wrapped up, and that evidence has been a great help in moving forward for the Prosecutor's Office. I doubt it will ever be possible to truly free this world of corruption, but it's important to try and work to make it better regardless of the circumstances. It may not be easy, but this is the best we can do to save those who may suffer under the system in the future. I hope that one day neither Oracle nor the Yatagarasu will be necessary in order to keep this system standing on two feet. Until then, we shall simply have to do what we must to keep moving forward."

Ema Skye:

"I never would have guessed when I started working with Detective Ponce that he would turn out the way he did... Though I suppose it's not right of me to call him by that name when I know the truth behind who he really is. It's still so strange to think that the truth was right under our noses all that time, but none of us could have guessed it. I'm planning to attend his trial when the time comes. I want to hear it all from his lips... Everything he did over the years to serve his twisted desires. I doubt that's going to make it any easier to process, but I still feel like I need to be there... For my own sake. In the meantime, I'm glad that he's one more piece of trash off the streets, and after everything he's done, really is trash. It's good to have him gone."

Cotoli Morix:

"I must confess that it's been a bit... Strange, for lack of a better term, having so many people involved with Oracle. I never would have thought it would spiral this far when Chrysalis first proposed the idea after my mother's death years ago. Now that we're here though, I'm starting to get used to it. It's admittedly nice for the three of us to be able to share that burden with other people. I'm glad that we have such dependable people to rely on for all of this too. It's a breath of fresh air, and... Having the cases of the past solved is the same way. Many times over the years, I doubted if we would ever see the truth we were hoping to find. Now though... All of that is in the past. Mom... I hope you're resting at peace. Everything is over now."

Chrysalis Starr:

"When I first started the Oracle project, I never thought it would become this large. I always wanted to attract the attention of the world at large with hopes that perhaps it might inspire some degree of change. But... Now, there are a lot of other people involved with it, people I never would have thought I would ever speak to, much less work with. The one who prompted all of this is in prison now, and that just leaves Oracle to keep following the path I always wanted for it. One day, Oracle won't be necessary. It may take years of bitter struggle, but one day, people will understand that there's much more to this legal system than they could have ever realized. It's a bitter world out there... But we can still change it, and I won't stop until I know that this will never happen again. Nothing will stop me now."

Sora Lin:

"It took me a long time to fully think that I would be able to trust people again after what happened with my mother's passing. Having your only line of defense and support pulled out from beneath your feet changes the way you look at the world forever, but... I know I'm going to be alright now. I'm not entirely sure where Oracle is going to take us next, but I'm going to keep pushing forward. Our job isn't over just because Hugo Osborne is out of the picture. The jury system is our next goal, and we're going to get there soon enough. It's been a long battle to reach this point, but... I finally see the light at the other end of the tunnel. I never would have thought I would get to this point, but now that I have... Thank you. It's all I can really say."

Trucy Wright:

"Daddy's been working overtime ever since that last trial. As soon as Chrysalis was up and moving around again, she started targeting the greatest opponents to the jury system, and it finally feels like the pieces are coming together. It's going to be a while before anything actually winds up set in stone, but we're getting closer. Given the fact that Daddy hasn't been able to make any concrete progress in two years, that means a lot. I can tell that he's excited about it too. This isn't a firm solution to all the problems we've stumbled into over the course of the last few years, but we're getting closer to figuring everything out. He's been working himself really hard though, so I'll be there to make sure he takes the breaks he needs. That starts tonight with a show at the Wonder Bar. I'm sure he's going to love this one!"

Athena Cykes:

"Nobody out there would ever think that we know something so amazing like the truth behind Oracle, and if you ask me, that's the way it should be. We've been doing what we can without attracting anyone's attention, and it all seems to be going well. I mean, we're still not the heart of the project, but it's... It's nicer than I thought it would be. I was a bit unsure about all of this when we first heard about what it meant to be involved, but... I'm happy with where we're at now. Even if it takes us a while to iron out the details between the constant exposures of corruption and work on the jury system, it's a start. I wonder what it'll be like to defend someone under the jury system... I can't wait to find out. I'm sure it'll be different. Great, but different. Then again, you never get anywhere in life without a bit of experimentation!"

Apollo Justice:

"Life at the office has been a lot busier than usual lately. Mr. Wright has been having me and Athena help him out with the preparations for the jury system. Chrysalis sure kept her end of the bargain, and she's been sending people to the court of public opinion on a weekly business. Few people seem to come out of that unscathed. Still, if they wanted to play dirty games, it only makes sense that they would wind up receiving something dirty in return. Trucy's been working overtime too so that Mr. Wright doesn't run himself ragged. She's using a show at the Wonder Bar as an excuse to get him out again... It's a shame I'm going to wind up paying the price for that. I just hope she doesn't wind up sawing me in half again... That's my least favorite trick."

Phoenix Wright:

"Oracle has been all over the news, but the rise of the jury system has been in the same position. A lot of people are still unsure about it, but it seems like they're more interested than they were before. That certainly makes it easier for the rest of us. Hugo Osborne hates the idea as he's stated multiple times since he was first arrested, but if you ask me, that's only helping our case more. He knows the jury system would have doomed him, and as long as others in the public know that too, it's a point in our direction. I'm sure everything will be up and running soon... And when it does, I'd love to see how it all unfolds. I know this will be the first step in a new era, and it'll be one that changes the future forever for the better."

A few days after the end of the trial of Hugo Osborne, a new photo found its way onto the walls of Morix Law Offices. Between the pictures of Cotoli, Chrysalis, Sora, and their other beloved relatives, a new frame stuck out against the rest. The photo was lined in a swirling silver frame, and the picture depicted the collaborators of the Oracle of the Law: Chrysalis, Cotoli, Sora, Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, Trucy, Miles, and Kay. None who entered the office would ever know of the picture's significance aside from those within the image. That was the way it should have been.

In a world where righteousness felt impossible, there were those who could offer peace through moral deliberation, and they were stronger than ever before as long as they were together.

RIGHTEOUS DELIBERATION
