[ It's our good friend Haro-cam! Although this time it's on purpose, as Mileina has something to show the community. She's doing something at a table in the mess hall; Linda (probably looking more like her big sister than her mother) has her back to the camera, cleaning up a counter that's had an enthusiastic pre-teen's cooking exploits explode all over it ]

I know he's not the sort of person to announce it himself, so I wanted to make sure that everyone knew it was Mr. Erde's birthday! Because I'm sure that even though it's a very good day already, he would very much appreciate everyone's well-wishes! Oh, but don't worry if he doesn't overtly appreciate everyone's well-wishes, because I know he appreciates them in his heart.

In any case, I wanted to show everyone the present I made him, because it was my first time attempting anything at all like it!

[ and with that, she holds up a cookie. It's roughly like this, with purple hair and a somewhat angry expression drawn on in icing. Yes, she made Tieria cookies. ]

Do you think he'll like them? I hope he will!

Yes, it was quite dramatic! And Mystic Maya's evaluation of the evidence was simply amazing!

[attorneyatlol]

I'm sure it was.

What was the trial about?

[areyoulovers]

A murder on a construction site! Did you know that it's people's narrow-minded cultural assumptions that make them call ladders stepladders?

[attorneyatlol]

...Really. Was that part of Maya's amazing evaluation?

[areyoulovers]

Yes! It was very insightful!

[attorneyatlol]

I can imagine. But, you know, she's not exactly right...

[areyoulovers]

Mr. Wright, you shouldn't judge her evaluations according to narrow-minded cultural assumptions! It led to an important breakthrough in the case!

[attorneyatlol]

I'm sure it did, but she's still not right. Stepladders are called stepladders because they're, well... stepladders. They're different from regular ladders.

[areyoulovers]

That's what led to a breakthrough! A witness couldn't remember whether the victim had fallen off a ladder or a stepladder, but there's a clear difference! There's no way that something like that wouldn't matter to someone who saw the crime!

[attorneyatlol]

Oh. ...So you mean Maya admitted there was a difference?

[areyoulovers]

Well, no. You see, he should have had some opinion on the ladders either way, whether he thought they were two separate things or classified both of them as true ladders! But he was very vague in his description, so that's how Mr. Edgeworth figured out he hadn't seen the crime at all.

[attorneyatlol]

Ah... I see. That does sound like an exciting case. Wish I'd been around to see it.
