    Summary

    The class trial isn’t where it started. It’s just the easiest to explain, because telling it from the beginning means revealing so many other secrets he can feel himself cracking under the weight of them all. The class trial tells it best, anyway, especially in a law office. And for Edgeworth and Larry, it probably wouldn’t even be a lie.

    But if Phoenix was going to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, he wouldn’t start there.

    He’d start with the bullet.

    Or, Phoenix tries to build a life around the dead.

    (In which memories are not the thing remembered, everyone wants more than they think they deserve, and sometimes letting go is the only way to keep holding on.)
