You're right, [ Dorian simply said, with a sigh. ] But that doesn't change the fact that I was murdered by my lover now, does it.

[ YEAH, HE'S STILL KIND OF BITTER ]

[Dorian's answer brings back memories of another man. He didn't die at his lover's hand like the way Gray did, but he was manipulated by her schemes to an equally fatal end. Edgeworth tries to shove those thoughts aside, but it backfires, and the more he struggles against them the brighter the images shine in his mind's eye]

...no, it doesn't.

[His voice is small, its tone cold and bitter, but only for a moment. Edgeworth's words quickly regain their strength, though, but they remain as somber as ever.]

I know this is a difficult time for you, Gray, but I have one more thing I must ask of you. But first, a question.

Do you want justice?

[brushoff]

Obviously.

[takethestairs]

Then I'll need you to tell us everything you can about Yuri Petrov.

[brushoff]

[ Really...the more he thinks about it, the less he knows. ] He never displayed any sort of powers to me, so it's entirely possible that fire manipulation is the only thing he has. He's less of an...exhibitionist than I am. [ what's the nice way of saying 'I would take my shirt off at the slightest provocation while Yuri didn't.' ]

What else do you want to know? I don't know how helpful I'll be about this.

[takethestairs]

Anything you can think of about him. His likes, his dislikes-

[Suddenly, a thought]

...or any other friends he may have had.

[brushoff]

Well, you saw that the other Russian was a friend of his—that kid. But we never really talked about his other friends. Possibly Tiger and Barnaby?

[takethestairs]

...I'll see what they have to say. If you can think of anything else useful, be sure to let me know.

[And he's ready to let Dorian go if he's ready]

[brushoff]

Believe me, if I can think of anything else useful, I'm telling everyone.

[takethestairs]

[Snorts]

I can't say I blame you. Anyway, I've told you all that I needed to, for now. If I have any other questions I'll be in touch.

[brushoff]

I appreciate that. And...best of luck.
