A wish, pal? Hmm...
I guess you could say there's a lot of things I could wish for.
Like being able to be unbreakable in court, for one. I do my best, you know, up on the witness stand. I get to testify as the lead detective on some homicide cases, but that guy – that Phoenix Wright guy, always broke my testimony. Having your thunder taken away like that – it's not the best feeling, pal. Sometimes I resent him for it, but you know, he always finds the truth in the end, and that's all that really matters.
Or maybe being a more competent detective – yeah, that'd be a good wish too. I try hard to find clues that could be useful, but a lot of the time that Wright guy or Mr. Edgeworth beat me to the punch. Then, of course, I'm reprimanded about things I could improve on. It's stuff like "why didn't you tell me earlier" or "I thought you were a police detective" that kinda hurt, pal, but I know it's my fault and I have to apologize for it.
There's also one thing that a lot of people would wish for if they were in my shoes.
A raise, pal. I'm talking about more money!
Boy, sometimes I think about what it'd be like if Mr. Edgeworth and I switched places. I don't think he could stand living in my apartment; there's a lack of air conditioning, hot water in the shower, and to top it all off, he'd probably be starving if he had to go on an instant noodle diet, haha! I could be the one living in a fancy condo and docking Mr. Edgeworth's pay! Wouldn't that be ironic?
But you know what, pal? Even if I have to put up with all of this, I still don't think I'd wish for anything.
Because being a detective got me looking on the bright side.
I've met a lot of people during my job. Some were ridiculous, some ridiculously looking, and some were just plain weird, but some of these people – yeah, I don't think I'd want to imagine how things would've gone if I hadn't met them.
Mr. Edgeworth, even if he can be cold, is a really great friend (though I don't think he'd ever admit it). Mr. Wright is really determined and hard working, and that assistant of his, Maya Fey? Though she doesn't look like it, she's really mature. She knows how to brighten people's days, pal. Even their friend, Harry Butz, seems like a nice guy. And you know what? Even Ms. von Karma's not that bad if you can get past her whip.
Yeah pal, though my material life is pretty bleak, I've got people I can count on. I've got friends and someone who loves me – Maggey.
Hanging around those attorneys may mean tough living, but you know what?
I wouldn't wish it away for the world, pal.
A/N: Once again, thank you to the people who've reviewed and are following this story. It really means a lot to me! Oh, and just so further questions aren't asked...
Yup, I will be doing characters from every game - at least, major players, so people like the Gramaryes, Iris, Dahlia, and the like will get their own.
Thanks for reading!
