WrightWorth drabbles
okay so, as much as I love the "unnecessary feelings" line, and with how popular it is who wouldnt ? Its a great line to show how Edgeworth feels abt Phoenix in that moment, and it can be seen as platonic and romantic. But i think there are more lines that deserve recognition that hold just as much meaning for the both of them
When Edgeworth finally came back from Europe, he mentions this, and i quote, "Your hatred for me is quite unhealthy, not to mention one-sided." An i think that holds quite a lot between the two.
Phoenix is mad, Edgeworth faked his death and thinks he can just come back all confident and like nothing happened, while Phoenix grieved, he was upset, he met his best friend again after multiple decades and then he just leaves without a word. He thinks Edgeworths death was his fault, "Miles Edgeworth chooses death" could be interpreted as Edgeworth choosing to end it because Phoenix discovered the truth, broke what he held dear, broke what he thought was *true*. Phoenix is upset that he can come back after all those thoughts.
Edgeworth however, "chose death" because yes, everything he thought was real broke, but he didnt do it because he was angry at Phoenix, he did it so he could come back a better man *for* Phoenix. He did it so he could find himself and help Phoenix find himself as well. He didnt do it because he was angry, he did it because he was confused. Under all that confidence is a confused man who was then questioning his entire career because of losing a case to Phoenix, because of having his mentor found guilty of killing his father because of Phoenix.
Also, uh, theres this and countless other lines like this.
HE CALLED HIM PARTNER
