Our investigation continues, but first we should take a moment to speak with Prosecutor von Karma to hear when she has to say about her “revenge”.
It is astounding just how badly Rise From the Ashes messes with the canon and timeline of this series, but specifically Justice For All. We’ve already discussed it at length, but the idea that Edgeworth *could* commit suicide after working to uncover severe corruption at the very heart of the police department and setting up his future career as a prosecutor is absurd, to the highest degree.
Having said that, I like the dimensionality this conversation adds to Franziska’s character. Rather than horrifically paraphrase someone else’s work, I will refer you to Wendy Rocket’s video on the prodigal prosecutor and its segment on this very conversation. She does a great job discussing how Franziska must feel having Miles Edgeworth, a man she treats like a brother, disappear without a trace after leaving a suicide note. Honestly, though it veers a bit too much into fan-fiction territory for my liking, her entire video essay and the one regarding Manfred von Karma is well worth a watch.
As for us, we have a trial we’re almost ready for. We just need a few more details.
