[ A slight pause before he nods. ]

I'm certain of it. It was Kristoph.

[ Once, he might've said 'almost'. Almost certain, because even if he gathered all the evidence in the world, until it was proven, it didn't mean a thing. But he's spoken to Edgeworth. While he refused to say exactly what happens, Phoenix can read between the lines enough to figure it out. ]

It's been seven years since I was disbarred, but I didn't waste any of it. I investigated, and collected evidence, to find out the truth behind that case... and mine. Just before I came here, I set a series of events into motion that would bring all of it to light in court.

[ But it doesn't change what happened. His own part in the matter, and the reason why he still can't meet Mia's eyes now that the story is out. ] I know. I should've known better. [ She taught him better than that, and they both know it. ]

[Mia is still utterly flabbergasted by this turn of events and is still staring at him in disbelief.]

I don't- why? Why the hell would he ruin your career just because his client changed his mind about his representation? No one in their right mind would use that to fuel a vendetta and escalate it to that extent.

And why were you just disbarred like that? Why wasn't there an appeal or, I don't know, why wouldn't anyone vouch for you? Edgeworth or Grossberg or even the Judge! He's worked with you often enough to know that that's just not like you.

I wondered that for a long time, but there are some things I'll never understand about Kristoph.

[ To the latter part though... ] I guess they wanted to make an example out of my case. Put a stop to anyone else thinking of doing the same thing. Though I'd say it failed... miserably. [ Cue dark age of law! ]
