Maya''s not sure at first what to make of his hug, though it doesn't take long for her to accept it and listen to him.
And it's not exactly as though that isn't what she wants to hear. No, that'd require her knowing what she wants to hear. But then he continues, and Maya can't help herself from defending Edgeworth.
Not even now. Not even to Ken.
"He didn't know," she manages, taking in a shaky breath. "He was just-- he was stressed out. I knew that! I shouldn't have said anything.
He didn't-- They're still alive for him. He didn't know."
The end of her defense is even shakier than the beginning, though it's quiet. She's not trying to make a scene-- and even beyond that, she's not sure she could make her voice any louder right now.
