[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.

[More loudly:]

Stop saying things like that so casually! There will not be another incident!

[highhealplz]

Another? Are they alright?

[glassinine]

No. They're not. Why do you think I'm removing myself from here? From where I can do harm to people?

[highhealplz]

Mr Edgeworth, call off your guilt for a moment. What state are they in?

[glassinine]

They're...

[He swallows and looks away.]

They're in a very bad state. I have inflicted immense suffering upon them.

[highhealplz]

Do they want or need help?

[glassinine]

I cannot speak for them.

[highhealplz]

[ a pause, and he lets out a breath ]

I could get you out of the city quickly.

[glassinine]

[Forcefully:]

No. No one is coming close to me.

[highhealplz]

How do you plan to ensure that when you're getting out?

[glassinine]

...I've arranged to pick up a car whose keys have been left for me. I won't have to speak with anyone.

[highhealplz]

And on the drive out? Are you sure you won't accidentally pass near enough to someone to make it happen?

[glassinine]

...I don't know.

[highhealplz]

I could teleport you out of the city.

[glassinine]

No.

[highhealplz]

If you're afraid of hurting me, you really don't have to worry. I can handle myself.

[glassinine]

I said no. Unless you can do this from fifty feet away, I refuse.

[highhealplz]

Well, actually, yeah. I can leave a portal for you and back up — it'll last about a half a minute.

[glassinine]

[A moment of silence.]

Going where.

[highhealplz]

Where ever you tell me to have it open to. I have to visit the place first, but then I can come back and send you off.

[glassinine]

I don't...How would you get there.

[highhealplz]

Well, how would you get there?

[glassinine]

I would drive.

[highhealplz]

I could do that. [ no you fucking can't ashraf ] Then I'll leave the car behind when I teleport back here, so you'll have it on that end.

[glassinine]

...Do you know how to drive?
