it's very cute that edgeworth has just kind of accepted his role in playing along with kay's "great thief" shtick

i know that having the player character think "i'd better show this to that man..." or "i'll need to use that piece of evidence" is an important way that the game can give hints without giving spoilers, or just to show that the character is on top of things even when the player isn't. but it's such an awkward sentence construction that it makes me wonder if there's a specific japanese construction that gets translated that way
-
i am such a sucker for "characters realizing how close they were to vital evidence, much much later"
like the realization that the murder weapon was always right there, or that they were having small talk with someone who was in the middle of secretly moving the body before it was discovered
it hits so good every time
-
i forgot this case did the "literally handing you a book about law" thing. iirc it's only aai2-3 and 1-5 that do this but it's so funny both times. especially 1-5 tbh; in this game it's for kay's benefit but in that one it's specifically for nick, the hotshot attorney who doesn't actually know what kinds of evidence can be legally presented
-
i love this cover though
-
i completely fucking forgot about kay losing her memories...
-
like i'm sure it'll be ok but it's very sad in the meantime
-
"she had nothing on her that would help figure out her name"
the opened letter: "Dear Kay,"
-
is the twist going to be that this isn't actually kay somehow? that's a student ticket and she doesn't strike me as a student of anything other than heists
maybe they're using "student" as shorthand for an age range though

god i love edgeworth
"It's okay if you don't remember anything. Don't worry. Just tell me, does anything here look familiar at all?"
"Ummm... Oh! Yes! That cherry tree! I was standing under it to shelter from the rain when I saw... I saw something... Something red."
"Something red... You're doing really good. Would it have been, perhaps, this stand?"
"Yes! Yes! A man came out from behind that stand and approached me!"
"YOUR TESTIMONY CONTRADICTS THE EVIDENCE RAAAAAWR" -
"WHOEVER WALKED OUT FROM BEHIND THAT STAND MUST HAVE BEEN A GHOST! THERE'S NO SURFACE THERE, THEY'D BE FLOATING 50 FLOORS HIGH" chill your fucking horses miles she's a scared and confused child with memory loss
