[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.]

I'm leaving on a business trip abroad for...some length of time. I'm - not certain how long. Please don't try to contact me; I'll be far too busy to answer any messages.

Good day.

You're having difficulty describing it.

[godly]

Because it's difficult to describe. What's your point?

[glassinine]

So then how could I possibly adequately prepare anyone?

[godly]

By having faith that they'll be able to handle it regardless!

[ugh.]

You do want a solution to this problem, don't you?

[glassinine]

A solution that will harm the fewest people possible.

[godly]

And yet all I'm hearing from you are excuses directed at my best attempts to advise.

[glassinine]

Because what you're advising is unacceptable.

[godly]

Then what if you just allow me to aid you? No one else. You know I'm undeterred by the risks; I already know what to expect.

[glassinine]

No. Completely out of the question. You have taken more than your share of abuse.

[godly]

Abuse? It happened once.

[glassinine]

That's more than enough.

[godly]

So that's it then? You're going to leave, indefinitely, and we can only hope that you manage to find a solution completely on your own before we see you again?

[glassinine]

That's right.

[godly]

Well, I'm glad you're taking how everyone else will feel into account. And thank you for letting me know an entire hour ahead of time that you were heading out, possibly permanently.

[He doesn't bother hiding the bitter sarcasm.]

[glassinine]

...Why does that matter?

[godly]

What, that you neglected to tell me this news?

[glassinine]

Yes. What's changed by that?

[godly]

I would have liked to have said goodbye, if I couldn't talk you out of it.

Not like...this.

[glassinine]

I can't meet with you in person. I'm not seeing anyone in person.

[godly]

[Apparently his patience is running thin with that particular remark, because he says heatedly:] I can't believe how stubborn you're being. How utterly unwilling to listen-

[He didn't want the conversation to go this way, again; and yet here they are.]

I'm wasting my breath.

[glassinine]

[Quietly:]

Yes. You are.

[godly]

Then goodbye, Mr. Edgeworth. That's all there's really left to say, isn't there?

[glassinine]

Yes, Mr. Yagami. That is all.

[godly]
