Edgeworth frowns as he thinks over Kay's answer. She came from seven years in the future, and he, apparently, came from an even further point in time than that...eurgh, just how old was he? He's not sure what's worse: the thought of himself as some old geezer with glasses, or the fact that her answer is woefully incomplete.

Grating as it is, though, he can't let one dead end stop him in his tracks. Instead of obsessing over what she doesn't know, he needs to focus on what she does know. One detail that sticks out is that they had met again somehow. From his perspective, he hadn't seen her in months; from her perspective, she saw him just a year ago, before she was taken to this strange place. What happened in those past seven years? Had they kept in touch? Was there a followup to the second KG-8 incident and Calisto Yew's misdeeds? Or did something else bring them together? And, most importantly, what was her connection to the Yatagarasu? Why would she brazenly show off the symbol of her father's murderer like that?

One thing at a time, he reminds himself. Edgeworth crosses his arms, and asks, "How did we meet again? Back in Los Angeles, I mean."

He might ask about their reunion in Heropa later, but first, he needs to establish what happened in those missing seven years.
