[You can almost hear the crushing feeling that's having on him, as his voice turns unmistakably quiet.]


Oh.


[Of course. Why would Tetsuo want to talk to him right now? It's because of HIM that he's dead. That he couldn't save him in time.]

[missleadingquestions]

--I mean, you could still try!

He just-- he's kind of in a bad mood? I mean he kind of seems like he's always in a bad mood but-- I get it, he just woke up, and it was me, it's not like he knows me--

[Yeah maybe she's fretting a little.

....But she remembers who she wanted to see most when she woke up, whose name she called when Edgeworth tried to wake her.]

--But he called for you!

[rassera]

[It's true. He'd left Tetsuo with--in TETSUO'S mind--a total stranger. It didn't hit him until just then that...

That was as good as letting him wake up alone.


Shit.]


He...did?

[There's a softness to that question, like he almost can't believe it.]

[missleadingquestions]

That's how I knew he was awake.

He called for you.

[rassera]

I...


[His voice cuts off there, unsure how to really respond. Because...

Even now, after everything. After pretty much failing to save him...Tetsuo still called out to him.

Not Rick, not Hazel, not Kazu or Pan. But him.]

[missleadingquestions]

I guess Ken isn't the only brother you have around here, huh?

[She breathes in slowly, sighs a little, and continues.]

I dunno if he'll answer, but... You should try anyway. Maybe he just needs people not to give up on him.

[Or maybe she's wrong, but... If she knows anything about people who love you like siblings, if you call and call and call, when it's the right time, they'll come.]

[rassera]

Tetsuo was the first.

[And the most important.]

I...


Yeah, I think I'll go try him now. Don't miss me too much, alright?
