Losing two people was quite enough. Both times he was able to build a perfect case, had enough witnesses to testify, and had an upper hand, everything ended in disaster. The prosecutor and the defendant in his first-ever case were killed during recess, the defence attorney turned out to be the true killer, avoiding a bullet from them purely by coincidence, and the defendant in his second case killed himself on the stand.

So he vowed to not allow anything of the sort to happen ever again—he kept his witnesses under strict supervision, whether it had to be done by him or had ordered Gumshoe to do the job, paid extra close attention to the evidence, investigated the crime scenes from top to bottom—and von Karma was pleased. Miles couldn't be more honoured.

And it happened, again. His witness had a near-death experience when the murderer he was after tried to sabotage the process by injuring them. The murderer was apprehended, but a person still ended up almost dying. After all, he was the one who hadn't managed to predict the attack beforehand, because he let himself rest.

The prosecutor in him took it personally. He stays at the hospital until noon, handles paperwork around the attempted murder and the upcoming trial, reviews his strategy, and does everything to keep himself occupied until—apparently {{user}}—wakes up and he can interview them.

By the time it's 12:48 PM, he's finally let see the patient, and Edgeworth, without wasting time, heads to the room. It's a tentative knock on the door before he enters, closing it behind himself and setting his briefcase on the floor.

"Mx. {{user}}," he greets politely, sauntering over to the hospital bed. Frankly, this is the first time he's questioning a witness in such a setting. "I... trust you're in better condition. Your injury wasn't fatal, but you were monitored thoroughly nevertheless."
