For those of you who don't know me, I'm Miles Edgeworth, and I had the misfortune of meeting with our "esteemed" Doctor Crane before he unleashed his research on the university. Seeing as he's still on the loose, here's what I've observed about some of his abilities. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, at best. If anyone can elaborate, it would be most appreciated.

1) He has a connection of some kind to crows, and in the past, has used them to spy on others and collect information. He may simply be able to communicate with them, though others have suggested shapeshifting as a possibility. From what I've observed, though, the former seems more likely.

2) He can affect people's emotions with a single touch. In my experience, he was able to instill an almost supernatural calm in me. I do not know if this is the extent of his control, or if he can influence other emotions, as well. It seems that skin to skin contact is required for this ability to take effect, but I still recommend caution, just in case I happen to be mistaken.

While I shared this information with RISE, I apologize for not sharing it with the general public earlier. I also apologize to everyone who was concerned about me and Kay Faraday. I should have announced my presence, and shared what I found out, much earlier.

Speaking of Ms Faraday, she and Franziska von Karma were sent back home earlier this month, for those who missed it. Her own murder of crows seem to be lingering around, though; if anyone is concerned about the differences between her birds and Crane's, please contact me privately.

[The message is a bit late for Kay and Franziska's friends; the would have noticed their absence by now. However, that last message isn't intended for friends, exactly]

When you're feeling better
Could I discuss some legal matters with you Mr Edgeworth??

We can talk about them now, if you'd like, though I can't guarantee an immediate answer. What do you wish to discuss?

Legal guardianship of minors

That's not my area of expertise, I'm afraid, but I'l try to answer any questions as best I can. What about this did you want to discuss, exactly?

I am almost 16 and don't like the idea of a stranger being my legal guardian.
If an adult has to make decisions about my life I would rather it be someone I sort of know
Or
Ideally I would like to be emancipated
I think that's what would fix this situation most effectively??
I haven't read up on family law practices in this world so my knowledge is very limited

I'm afraid that I have to do some research myself. Being an imPort puts you in a unique position compared to other minors, and I'll need to look into laws concerning imPorts and child welfare before I can give you a clear answer. I also have a few questions regarding your situation, which may help or hinder your case.

1) What state do you reside in currently?

2) Are you able to support yourself financially?

3) Are you healthy, physically and mentally?

4) What are your plans after you become emancipated?

[Okay, that last question isn't strictly necessary. And while he could stand to brush up laws concerning underage imPorts, he does know a bit more than he's letting on. However, he's not going to encourage Akito to run off on his own before he finds out more about his situation]

1) florida
2) yes
3) yes
4) continued education to find a way home

[ he doesn't need money to live at the school so that isn't exactly a lie, and his body has issues but in general he's fine. aside from the power backlashes... ]

Do you mean independent education, or are you attending school somewhere? Also, are you currently living with other imPorts, or are you living by yourself?

Private lessons with Prof Callaghan at the Xavier school
I am living in the dorms there.

[Callghan...he's heard of that man. He was up to some rather nasty business back where he came from, wasn't he? It looks like he' have to research more than law]

That's a I need to know for now. Thank you very much, Akito. Is there anything else you need?

Just peace of mind
Other than that I don't need anything
Thank you!
:)
