assistants make bad decisions

[yatagarasu]

[Excuse Kay as she just pulls Maya over to her dressing room.]

Okay. We're still both on the truth serum, so...how much do you know about Simon? 

Comments

[Kay sits down beside her.]

Two reasons: One, there's not a lot of us left. I figured I have to warn you that Simon will use anyone at all as his pawn, even you.

Second, we're under the truth serum. You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you Simon was a manipulative jerk.

...I mean, a lot of people are. But that doesn't always mean they're a bad person.

[let's all please ignore my tendency to cover for bad dads]

I asked for his help with Engarde. Do you think that was a bad idea?

[yatagarasu]

[Without missing a beat:]

Yes.

...I have to admit, Simon was more of a victim. He lost all hope in the legal system, so he turned to revenge. Still, I won't forget the stuff he did to me, Mr. Edgeworth, and our friends.

Just...be careful around him, okay? Planning with him doesn't mean he's going to cover for you in the future.

[ibedeadpeople]

I know. Even if I hadn't, I can't trust anyone's word, not with all that's been happening. But I can't go back, can I? If I let him know that I know what I know now, who knows what he'll do to me? Who knows what he'll do to you for spilling the beans?

[yatagarasu]

[Kay just lets out a short, almost cynical laugh.]

Don't let him know. But I suspect that after today, more people will know.

Anyway...if I die, that's one less problem for him.

[It almost sounds like she's expecting the worst.]

[ibedeadpeople]

... ... [takes her hand and grips it tightly]

[yatagarasu]

[She clutches Maya's hand just as tightly.]

We better go back before Simon gets too suspicious. I bet he already suspects I've been telling others about him even before this round.
