Miles Edgeworth's Secret

This post is purely for documentation purposes, and also to inform anyone who may not be aware. This post will contain SPOILERS for the end of Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations, so proceed with caution.

During Case 5, Bridge to the Turnabout, while playing as Edgeworth, you are presented the opportunity to peer into Iris' heart. Specifically in regards to a secret she is withholding from Phoenix, someone she was romantically involved with. During which, if the player fails to present the correct evidence specifically for the second Psyche-Lock, an interesting conversation concerning the nature of secrets occurs.

I have seen talk of this dialogue, but no footage or screenshots, so I took the liberty of getting them myself. The full conversation and my further thoughts will be found under the cut.

You MUST present incorrect evidence during the second Psyche-Lock. This dialogue is laughably easy to miss, which is why I could find zero footage of it. (Sorry if the formatting for this sucks)

(Interesting to note: the music stops playing here.)

Incidentally, Iris' secret is that she developed romantic feelings for Phoenix while dating him in college (disguised as her twin sister). Edgeworth affirms her thoughts, confirming that he does indeed have a secret of similar nature deep within his heart and soul; "It takes one to know one." It cannot be said what exactly this secret of his is, but every real plot point behind Edgeworth has been more or less resolved by this point in the series. He found his path as a prosecutor, the truth behind his involvement in the DL-6 incident was concluded, so... What's left? Reading between the lines, this only really seems to lead us to one answer. It has something to do with romantic feelings. I truly can't see it being anything else, even with a critical mind.

Just mere moments ago, Iris had inquired as to what Edgeworth and Phoenix' relationship was. Edgeworth (famously) responds that Wright is a "dear and indispensable friend". Wonder if Iris gleamed something deeper from that comment, then? ;P Keep in mind: she makes these comments directly because Edgeworth avoided presenting Phoenix Wright's profile.

"he just like me fr" - iris probably

Now, just for completion's sake, let's see what happens when you present Phoenix's profile and break the Psyche-Lock.

I have a lot of thoughts regarding this string of text from the two of them. This is a huge reach from an admittedly shipper-crazed brain, but aren't Edgeworth's retorts here... interesting? He does not know this girl, but he knows that the two of them are important to one another. We can assume it's likely that he is pushing for this for Wright's sake, rather than Iris'. At this point it's fair to say that Edgeworth has some basic understanding of her secret (the feelings, at least), and he doesn't benefit from her telling Phoenix her secret. So why is he adamant that she does it? Especially when he's, apparently, holding a secret of similar nature himself? Projecting, perhaps?

"But it's pointless..." "Why would you say that?"

Why indeed.

(EDIT) I was thinking about this feverishly, and I had another thought. What if the "darkness in his heart" and his "secret" has something to do with jealousy? Still in context of romantic feelings... it starts to make sense that this could fit into the puzzle as well. By this point it was already established to Edgeworth that Phoenix and Iris share an intimate connection of some kind, and with all of this pressuring (including the words the two of them share before Edgeworth leaves the Detention Centre), it sort of adds up. "Uncovering the truth" in order to "get rid of the deep-seated darkness in [his] heart" - could this refer to closure? As in, if Iris comes forth to Phoenix Wright with her secret, and there is some level of reciprocation, would this make Edgeworth's own secret/feelings "pointless" to confess? I wonder.

One last note I'd like to make is that this is the first time we view Edgeworth through the 'protagonist lens', and that a great deal of care was put into having the player truly feel like they are Miles Edgeworth in this moment. His mannerisms, choice of words and thought patterns are decidedly very different than Phoenix's when you are in control of them, as I'm sure most people would agree. Therefore, I feel comfortable proposing that a lot of what he says here isn't filler, and in fact is very deliberately worded.

I think this post also deserves a spot here.

Diehard Narumitsu/Wrightworth shippers are likely already aware of this conversation's existence. However, due to the circumstances necessary to see it, I wasn't able to find any screenshots. I hope this was interesting to read, at least... Thanks for reading!

so you know how both dahlia and medusa were seen as irredeemable monsters and punished for it and the fact that they were victims first gets largely ignor- whatever. get stoned idiot (id under cut)

@sevenyeargap you were a real one for suggesting butterflies!!!! idek what this would be without them. anyways, the id:

1) a close-up of a digital painting of dahlia hawthorne as medusa, imitating oil paint. dahlia is looking straight with fury in her expression, mouth open in rage, fangs showing. the snakes on her head are red with green spots and shadows. they move in different directions, imitating her hair in the scene from aa3, where she leaves maya's body. her hands are in front of her, slightly clutched in anger, again, like in the aa3 scene. she is wearing her white dress. around her, butterflies of a pale yellow color are flying. two are sitting on snakes peacefully, and one is being eaten by a snake. the painting is done in distinct yellow and green tones, and the background is dark, green and foggy.

in this close-up, we can only see the upper part of the painting: it ends at her wrists.

On the one hand, I do get why people miss Presenting Profiles in Ace Attorney. They were often fun way to get extra characterization and lore bits of different characters, and sometimes even optional pieces of foreshadowing about the case.

But also… I think people maybe don’t quite remember how frustrating it could be, when the profiles weren’t optional. In JFA and T&T, needing to Present Profiles to get a character to talk about someone (including themselves) as part of Mandatory Story Progression, was just uncommon enough that it was kinda unintuitive for folks to remember. Especially since it felt pretty random when “[person name]” just shows up on the Talk menu and when you needed to Present a Profile to unlock that.

I’ve watched a lot of AA Let’s Plays, and I’ve seen so many people get stuck in JFA and T&T because they need to progress, and between Presenting evidence, Examining for areas they missed and Moving to see if there’s anyone else with an unfinished Talk option… Presenting a Profile kinda just slipped their minds.

So I think…. I will support bringing back Presenting Profiles but without them being essential for story progression, just let it be a purely optional way to get interesting little pieces of dialogue, please!

once again, the series swings from "blatant intentional homophobic caricature" to "the ground state of all ace attorney characters is Very Queer" fast enough to give you whiplash

currently working on a sketch of feenie (drunk, post-dahlia) + larry (prob. also drunk, recently broken up with) grieving together in phoenix's dorm room.

i'm trying to think of interesting miscellaneous shit phoenix would have scattered around his room– stuff that might have interesting implications for his characterization, or stuff that it makes total sense for him to have.

i'd really appreciate any ideas!
