Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

An unprecedented murder occurred during a channeling ritual.

And the trial, with Maya as the accused, continued to a second day.

Morgan Fey, who appeared as a prosecution witness,

revealed something I didn't know.

Mystic Maya suddenly thrust me away and escaped the room.

And now, Franziska von Karma's final witness takes the stand.

Witness — Ini Miney

Witness, name and occupation.

Reunion and Turnabout — Last Trial

Um...

Okay, so my name is Ini Miney!

I'm, like, a college student, researching parapsychology.

Parapsychology?

It refers to, like, what most people call the "occult."

Occult?

Look it up when you get home.

Okay, Judge?

Okay.

Okay?

Now, witness, after the murder occurred,

you spoke with the defendant, Maya Fey, who had fled the scene.

Is this correct?

Sure is!

I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room.

And my sister totally showed up!

S-Sister?

The spirit Maya Fey summoned,

Grey Hospital Nurse Mimi Miney, was her sister.

Yeah, she died after Dr. Grey framed her for medical negligence.

How sad...

She told me, like, something totally terrible.

Terrible?

"I didn't die in an accident.

I was killed by Dr. Grey.

That's why I took my revenge."

My poor sis!

I still can't believe it.

But there seems to be no doubt

that this was revenge, carried out by a spirit possessing a medium.

Thank you for your understanding.

Will the defense cross-examine the witness?

It's true. Kurain Channeling transforms a person's appearance and voice.

Like this.

That was a well-constructed fabrication.

But that's all it was.

Let's unravel this tapestry of lies!

We can, can't we?

Yes!

Of course, we will cross-examine the witness!

Very well.

Cross-Examination

What did you do when you heard what your sister said?

I tried to convince her that revenge was, like, wrong.

And she totally got it.

I suggested we, like, go apologize to Ms. Morgan.

After that, I took her to the Channeling Chamber via the Winding Way.

Such beautiful sibling love...

I don't know why,

but something seems off.

The Winding Way?

So, what do you say, Mr. Phoenix Wright?

That was a well-constructed fabrication.

But that's all it was!

Stealing my lines, are we?

Ini...

While taking your sister to the Channeling Chamber,

did you find anything unusual?

Well... I didn't, like, notice anything.

Sorry to break it to you, but that can't be true!

Like, what do you mean?

I'd like to show you someone.

This is Pearl, Morgan Fey's daughter.

She certainly looks smarter than you. But how is this child relevant?

At the time of the murder, she was in the Winding Way.

The very Winding Way you said you passed through, Ini!

What?

Please look at this.

Channeling Chamber Side Room

Meditation Room Winding Way

If you passed through here at that time, you should've run into her!

O-Oh, but I was focused on my sister.

Y-Yes, anyone would miss a tiny, plain girl like that.

Objection!

Objection!

Except you couldn't have missed her.

Also, Pearl is neither tiny nor plain—

Proof! Show me proof.

The proof is this, right here.

Mystic Ami's urn!

IAM

"I am"?

This is the Kurain Village's sacred urn,

AMI

a treasure that's been passed down for years.

And Pearl broke this urn before the channeling ritual began.

Thankfully, the broken pieces were large,

so she decided to reassemble them in the Winding Way.

The Winding Way?

Don't tell me...

From the time of the murder until the police inspection's end,

she was sitting in the passageway, working hard to fix the urn.

If you missed that, I'd have to declare you legally blind!

Now, Ini...

Tell us the truth!

A-About what—

About where you really were at the time of the murder!

The witness has already testified to that!

Th-That's right.

I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room...

And I've already proved you're a master liar!

We cannot trust your word alone!

Since you have laid it on the table, Mr. Phoenix Wright,

you answer the question!

Where was the witness at the time of the murder?

She was here, of course!

Channeling Chamber Side Room

Meditation Room Winding Way

Why, that's the Channeling Chamber.

Isn't that the crime scene?

Indeed.

At the time of the murder, Ini was at the crime scene.

Objection!

Objection!

Listen to yourself!

The victim and accused were alone in there when the ritual started!

Ini had been hiding in the room since before the ritual started!

Don't be ridiculous!

Where exactly could I hide myself in that room, you stupid jerk?!

Stupid jerk?

We're starting to see her true colors.

Does the defense have an answer?

I'm finally starting to see the whole picture.

All of the pieces are falling into place!

Ini was hiding

in here!

What are you saying?

That clothing box was in the storeroom.

It has nothing to do with the murder!

True, I saw it in the storeroom, too.

But at the time of the murder,

it was behind the folding screen at the crime scene.

Foolish fool... What gives you that idea?

Look at this.

Those are...

Bullet holes?

There was another, on the Channeling Chamber's folding screen.

The height matches perfectly.

At the time of the shooting,

the clothing box was sitting behind the folding screen.

And it was pierced by the bullet!

Ini!

You were hiding in the clothing box,

waiting for the ritual to start.

You were wearing a medium costume, waiting for a chance to switch!

Th-Then, Mr. Phoenix Wright,

what about yesterday's photo?

Are you saying Ini Miney is the woman in it?

Precisely.

Ini Miney,

you planned and carried out this murder.

You are the true culprit!

One Chance, One Meeting

Once the channeling ritual began,

Ini emerged from the box,

drugging my client first.

Then she stabbed the victim,

and put the defendant's sleeping body in the clothing box.

She probably planned to leave the room then,

to make those outside believe the murder happened during the channeling.

But that's when an unexpected thing happened.

The victim wasn't actually dead.

With the last of his strength, he fired at her!

But the shot missed her,

and hit the folding screen, the costume's sleeve, and the clothing box instead.

In a panic, Ini grabbed the pistol and finished him off.

At that moment, she overlooked something important.

As a result, she wasn't wearing the medium headdress...

when we saw her.

I cannot stand to listen to any more of this foolishness.

But it does make sense.

Ridiculous!

To begin with, one person could not do all that alone!

That's right!

Ini had an accomplice.

An accomplice?

Only someone from Kurain Village could have procured the costume.

And only one from the Fey family could have obtained that box.

The accomplice to this crime was you,

Morgan Fey!

When we heard the shots and barged into the channeling chamber,

Ms. Morgan chased us out, ordering us to call the police,

and stayed behind at the scene alone with Ini.

The two then changed Maya into the bloodstained costume,

putting her fingerprints on the weapon.
