[The thing about employing text is that when you start using it when all your broadcasts are in video, people tend to question why you've suddenly switched. So he makes the decision to instead compose himself as best as he can and use video instead.

Unfortunately, he always sort of overestimates his ability to compose himself. He certainly doesn't seem distraught, or panicked, or anything of the sort, but he's definitely shaky. This is definitely a far cry from his normal, slow, quiet, lengthy broadcasts.]

Good day.

[glassinine]

I -

My goal, sir, is to accomplish work. There is no - angle.

Oh, of course, Mr. Edgeworth. [He's clearly not convinced, but -- well, it would be unseemly to pursue. Besides, how bad would it look? Pretty bad, pretty goshdarn rude.]
