[After most of the heartfelt goodbyes seem to be over, Hermann nervously decides to approach Maya alone. He wasn't going to, but something about the trial proceedings is eating at him in a way he didn't expect.]

Miss Fey, if you have a moment.

[not like she's got a lot of em left but EYYYYY]

I know -- it sucks. But, you're not allowed to beat yourself up about it! If you do, I'm gonna haunt you. [she's joking a little in the hopes of making him feel better]

[honestly, she wouldn't want innocent people to die for her, even if she doesn't want to die herself. utena and anthy were more than enough]

....

People keep saying that, but... I don't know if I agree. [she's still terrified to die 2x combo, after all]

[byjove]

Haunt me? Would that make you some kind of double ghost?

[The humor is strained but it's there at least. He Tried.]

Being brave doesn't necessarily mean you aren't afraid. It means facing the situation despite the fear.

[feytality]

Yes! Ghost with extra ghost on the side! Super ghost!

[he's trying!!!! it does make her feel better to joke about it, so, good job Hermione]

To be fair... if I could run away from this, I would. I'd hit a wall, though. Literally.

[He's doing his best.]

I think... we all would, if given the opportunity.

[He's not so ashamed to admit that. It's just logical, isn't it? He's a little more awkward about this next part, though.]

I know there's a likelihood that you and I are not from the same place, but, in case we are, and, somehow, I'm able to make it back... Is there anything- A message, perhaps?

[feytality]

..... I guess that's true. [she still doesn't really think she's particularly brave, but it does make her feel better to hear this, so.]

Oh, you don't have to do that! I mean, you do have to make it back, you're not allowed to get Erased! [she puffs her cheeks out like an angry hamster to accentuate this, how intimidating!!!] ..... But, well, if you're ever around Los Angeles [or, Japanifornia, more specifically] and you find a man called Phoenix Wright.... just, um.... tell him that I'm sorry. And that he has to take extra care of himself.

[there's a million more things she'd want to say to him, but somehow she can't think of any right now.]

[byjove]

[Los Angeles, Phoenix Wright. Strange name, but he'll remember it.]

Got it. I'll... I'll try my best.

[He's not feeling overly confident right now, but that much he can promise.]

[Just follow the trail of anime lawyers and convoluted justice systems where everything is punishable by death penalty. And stupid punny names. ]

..... Thank you, Dr. Gottlieb. I really hope you make it out.

[she smiles, sincerely, despite her circumstances. it's honestly more kindness than she ver expected, let alone in these circumstances. ]
