[ on flips the feed showing the face of a somewhat contemplative and obviously tired ariadne. she’s been thinking – well working really – and is now looking for help or well… maybe some input – she doesn't really care. she just figured it is about time she talked about a few things. ]

Before Chase was killed… [ which yeah, still seems to cause her to frown at the thought of ] she was able to draw a map on one of the walls.

I'm not sure if any of you have actually seen it or have talked about it. But Detective Blake was able to get me a copy of it when he was there and I've been looking at it since then.

[ a small nod in thought, her brow furrowing and she is adding with a sigh. ] I've noticed that it's not matching up to any of the other maps that we have – not even the maze.

It actually seems like it might be a partial map to something else.

[ she actually thinks there might be a room in the map, but she still isn't sure about that part and wants to be positive about it before she mentions that part. ]

So I'm wondering…[ and a flicker of hopefulness suddenly appears in her eyes. ] does anyone have any maps that they would be willing to let me look at if I haven't yet?

I really just want to compare them all to the one Chase left us, as well as the ones that I drew up a while back.

[ yep... that's all. ]

I...don't know that you should necessarily attempt to ascribe meaning to what she left.

[constructum]

Why not?

[jurisimpudent]

Because it was left in the last moments of her life, shortly after she seemed to have had a mental breakdown. Grief always makes us want to find some larger meaning in what the deceased leave behind, but that does not mean that meaning exists.

She wasn't like that, Edgeworth. I think she knew she was going to die. I think she saw all of it coming.

[His voice is quiet and unhappy.]

We always like to think that. It makes it easier.

[ her brow furrows at that, sighing faintly as she does. ]

Is everything okay, Edgeworth?

[ because she really can sit and talk about how she knows chase was different, but the tone of his voice does have her slightly concerned. ]

I - yes. Of course.

[He takes in a deep breath and shakes his head; he sounds more resolute afterwards.]

Apologies. I'm being unprofessional.

[ she just sighs in response, shaking her head as she did. ]

Why are you apologizing?

I've never once thought you needed to be professional with me.

I...appreciate that sentiment, but that doesn't negate the fact that I indeed must be so.
