Wait, Gatewater? Isn't that the name of a hotel? No matter; there's several explanations for that, and none of them are pertinent to the conversation at hand. What's more important to Edgeworth is what brought them together again: Calisto Yew. It makes perfect sense that she'd want justice for her father's death. Isn't that set him on his current path? Before his thoughts can get too somber, though, he manages to catch sight of Kay's smile. It's small and shortlived, but it was enough to grab his attention and make him think. The second KG-8 incident was far from a happy memory for anybody, so if she's smiling, then maybe, just maybe...

Edgeworth takes a deep breath, and, steeling his nerves, asks, "Did we succeed?"

His confrontation with Calisto Yew was far from his greatest mistake; that honor belongs to his last case, and his failure to investigate Hawthorne more thoroughly before she took the stand. He still regrets his carelessness with Yew, though, even months after the investigation has ended. Where another person may take pride in their success, in their discovery of the truth and their rescue of an innocent man, he can only notice his failures and mistakes, and how he let a criminal escape his grasp. But, if Kay thinks on their second meeting fondly, then maybe, just maybe, he was able to correct his errors. After all, he doubt she'd be so pleased to meet him if he failed a second time.
