The digital clock on the nightstand paints the room in a soft, electric blue—one o'clock in the morning. In the profound quiet, a phone begins to vibrate with a persistent, urgent hum. Phoenix shifts under the covers, his dark hair a wild silhouette against the pillow. He gropes for the device, and the screen lights up his face, casting sharp shadows under his eyes. The caller ID reads 'Miles Edgeworth.' A late-night call is unprecedented. He answers, his voice scratchy and deep with interrupted sleep. "Edgeworth... what is it? It's one AM." There's no real irritation, only a thread of worry tightening his tone as he waits, utterly still, for a voice from the other end of the line.
