Back at the scene of the crime, Phoenix, Maya, Pearl, Edgeworth, and Larry stood in a circle.
"Well, this has certainly been interesting," Larry said.
"I know, what are we supposed to do now?" Phoenix said. "So many questions, but it feels like we're out of leads."
"If only Fey were more helpful," Larry said. "Hate to sound like a broken record, but I seriously have no clue what her deal is. Maybe she's an alien...?"
"With all due respect, that's just silly," Edgeworth said. "I think corrupted clone is much more plausible."
"Nick, your friends are kind of weird," Maya said.
Phoenix looked at her. "You're one to talk."
"Dahlia says that if she were cloned she'd be really strange and girly," Pearl said.
"See?" Phoenix said. "You guys have had this conversation before."
"You know what? I'm sticking with alien for now," Larry said.
"I hope not," Pearl said. "Dahlia is my only sister. If she's an alien, she'd have to go back to her home planet."
"Aw, Pearly," Maya said. "Don't worry, it'll be okay. Dahlia's family, she would never leave you."
"But what about when..." Pearl buried her face in Dylan.
"She did come back, didn't she?" Maya said. "Then... This stuff happened. But she'll come back again. She's like my big sis."
Maya sniffed, but her smile never wavered.
"Maya…" Phoenix trailed off, unsure what to say.
"Hey, guys I need to… check on something," Maya said. No one said anything as she walked away.
"Amazing how I keep forgetting the victim was her older sister," Edgeworth said. "She doesn't stop smiling."
"Mia always told her to be strong, even when she was really sad," Pearl said. "And she doesn't want Dahlia to see how sad she is, or she might start feeling bad again."
"I get it," Phoenix said, rubbing Pearl's head. "So for every Fey's sake, let's see what we can find."
"Okay Mr. Nick!" Pearl said, already feeling better.
"Say, speaking of which," Phoenix said, turning to Larry. "That thing you said at the trial, when Dahlia took off her hat, what were you talking about?"
"Oh, that," Larry played with his sleeve. "It's kind of hard to explain. It had kind of been bugging me since I met her, but the red hair threw me off surprisingly well. That and her personality…"
"If you're done beating around the bush…" Phoenix said impatiently. He was tired of being left in the dark all the time.
"Fey looks just like a witness from my first trial," Larry said. "The resemblance is too close to pass off as a coincidence. And one other thing."
"What?" Phoenix said.
"Her name was Iris Hawthorne," Larry said.
"Hawthorne?" Phoenix said. "That's what you always called her!"
"It's her name," Larry said. "Legally, Hawthorne is Fey's last name. That's why I called her that."
Phoenix was stunned.
"Are you really that surprised, Wright?" Larry said. "Wasn't it mentioned several times?"
Phoenix rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, she introduced me as 'Fey' and after my trial I sort of just saw her as 'Dahlia' so… Eh heh heh."
Larry sighed, rolling his eyes. "I guess I can't say too much. I didn't put the pieces together either until that thing at the trial."
"Iris, huh?" Phoenix mumbled. "That must be her sister…"
"Hey, is this her?" Edgeworth said, holding up a newspaper article.
"Where'd you find that?" Larry said.
"That desk," Edgeworth said, gesturing to the desk across the room. "Who's is it anyway?"
"Oh, I think that used to be Mia's desk," Phoenix said. "But then when she started getting other people like Dahlia and Mr. Armando on the team it kind of became the meeting room."
"Like where one of the lawyers here meets with a client?" Larry said. "Why don't the clients just go to whichever lawyer's office?"
"Well, if 'whichever' lawyer is Dahlia…" Phoenix said.
"Got it," Larry said, reading the article. Phoenix joined him.
"24 year old woman commits murder, then suicide," Phoenix read aloud. "A woman on death row committed suicide before her sentencing."
Larry's eyes were glued to the photo next to the article. "This is... This is Iris Hawthorne!"
Edgeworth and Phoenix looked at the photo.
"Whoa, you're right," Phoenix said.
"So... This is Fey's sister?" Edgeworth said. "She looks exactly like her."
"It's called identical twins," Phoenix said.
Edgeworth rolled up the article and whacked him with it. "I knew that, Captain Obvious."
"Give me that," Larry said, snatching the article and unrolling it. "Why would she commit suicide?"
"I don't know," Phoenix said.
"We seem to be saying that a lot," Larry said, putting the newspaper down. "This just keeps getting weirder, and we're not getting any closer to figuring out what happened that day."
"Umm... Excuse me?" Pearl said, biting her nail.
"What is it Pearls?" Phoenix said.
"It's just that I've been wondering something," Pearl said. "We're trying to find out why happened to Mystic Mia right?"
"Yes..." Phoenix said.
"Well, why don't we just ask her what happened?" Pearl said.
Edgeworth scoffed. "That's not possible."
"What's not possible?" Mia said. She stood where Pearl had been only moments ago.
The three men stared at Mia, dressed in robes designed for a seven year old.
Mia leaned forward. "What?"
Perfectly in sync, they looked down, then back up, and passed out.
Phoenix wasn't sure how much had passed, but he eventually opened his eyes. The first he saw was Mia, leaning over to him.
"Are you okay?" Mia said.
Phoenix stared hard at her eyes. "Mm-hm."
"I have several questions," Larry said, standing up. "But my first one is going be this. Would you like a coat or something?"
"That's an excellent idea," Edgeworth said. He found a spare blanket and handed it to Mia.
She draped the blanket over her shoulders, covering her back like a cape. "Thank you."
"Uh..." Phoenix wasn't sure how to respond.
"Hey guys," Maya said. "So I was just..."
Maya looked up and her jaw dropped.
"Maya," Mia said, tilting her head to the side.
"Sis!" Maya ran up and tackle hugged her deceased sister. "I can't believe it's you! Pearly's so smart! Oh, Sis!"
Mia squeezed her little sister. "It's good to see you too Maya."
"I miss you," Maya whispered. "I miss you a lot."
"But we'll always been together," Mia said. "It's a Fey specialty, remember?"
Maya giggled.
"Um, I'm tremendously sorry for ruining this moment," Larry said. "But... Are you Mia Fey?"
"Yes, it's me," Mia said.
"But... You're, uh..." Edgeworth rubbed his arm awkwardly.
"Dead?" Mia said. "I know."
"Didn't I tell you guys before?" Maya said. "The Feys are a family of maiden spirit mediums."
"Did you guys know that?" Larry said.
Phoenix raised his hand. "Dahlia told me."
"Ah, Phoenix, good to see you too," Mia said. "Where is Dahlia?"
"She'sinjail," Phoenix muttered incoherently.
"Hmm?" Mia said.
Maya shuffled her feet. "Dahlia's in jail, Sis. She got arrested after the police found her with... You."
"Oh... She must not like that," Mia said.
"Yeah..." Maya said. "Except... She kind of thinks she did it."
"Oh my," Mia said.
"Yeah, she's been really odd lately," Phoenix said. "It's actually starting to worry us."
"But, she's worried over nothing right?" Maya said. "You of all people should know Dahlia didn't kill you."
"Oh, um... I suppose," Mia said.
Phoenix stared at her, his eyes wide.
"Wright, knock it off," Larry murmured. "It's not that big a deal, grow up."
"Huh? No!" Phoenix said, fumbling with his pocket. "It's..."
"What's in your pocket Phoenix?" Mia said.
Phoenix guiltily pulled the red Magatama out of his pocket.
"Ah, so that's it," Mia said.
"4 of them," Phoenix said.
Larry raised an eyebrow. "Uh, Wright women only have-"
"I'm not talking about that you dirty prosecutor!" Phoenix said.
Maya laughed, and Mia pulled her blanket around so it actually covered her.
Larry blushed like crazy, sweat peppering his face.
Edgeworth snorted, looking away.
"Sh-shut up," Larry said.
"Oh, Sis," Maya said. "Since you're here this is perfect. You see I found this in your office and-"
"Oh! Maya," Mia said.
"What?" Phoenix said.
"This," Maya said, showing him a pile of shredded paper.
Phoenix stared at it. "And… you just happened upon this?"
"It was on her desk! I didn't go rooting through her trash bin!" Maya said. "I thought it was weird though, since Sis is usually so clean and stuff."
"Let me see that," Edgeworth said. He took the strands of paper and straightened them out on the table. "Just give me a minute."
"You really don't have to," Mia said.
"What's wrong?" Phoenix said. "You look nervous."
"It's just… private is all," Mia said.
"Does this have something to do with your locks?" Phoenix said.
"Locks?" Larry said.
"Allow me to explain," Maya said, leading Larry away.
Phoenix turned back to Mia. "So… am I right?"
"Uh…" Mia bit her lip.
"I hate to drag up these memories but it's really important," Phoenix said. "What happened that night anyway?"
"I…" Phoenix had never seen Mia so speechless.
"You… what?" Phoenix said.
"This is madness!" Larry exclaimed. Maya had just finished explaining the whole Magatama concept.
"This is Fey!" Maya retaliated.
Phoenix stared at Mia's strong, unwavering Psyche-Locks. This certainly is Fey.
