[He raises his hands defensively.]

H-hey, I'm not looking for any kinds of advantages or anything! I'm just... letting you know how it is... no matter how hard it may be to believe.

[gerte]

Is that so? You're far too soft.

You may be from nine years into the future, but you're still a fool!

[She doesn't know about the dark age of law yet, woops. ]

[bewrightback]

Um... thanks, I think? [The most things change, the more they stay the same...]

And you're just as... just as Franziska as ever!

[He says sheepishly as he ocntinues examining the room. But no sign of any further clues yet.]

[gerte]

Is that supposed to be a compliment??

[ She's helping him look through the sand but she doesn't look impressed. Franziska does have a bit of an urge to throw it somewhere. It looks like she found something -- it doesn't seem to be anything horribly important though. ]

[bewrightback]

It's more or less one! Really! [He nervously chuckles. Even though he's been trying not to look directly at Franziska, he does manages to notice that she seems to have noticed something.]

Find something?

[gerte]

It's just a sheet of paper.

Nothing you should concern yourself with since it's blank. I was hoping that it'd have a clue jotted down on it.

[ She sighs in disappointment. ]

[bewrightback]

A... blank sheet of paper? Well, can I take a look? I think I can use it for something. [Namely, to partly cover himself up.]

[gerte]

Do whatever you wish. This no longer interests me.

Take that!

[ After handing the sheet of paper to Phoenix she merely shrugs. Then she continues to poke around the sand looking for clues. ]

[bewrightback]

Um... thanks! [He smiles sheepishly as he takes the paper. And he just... tucks one corner of the paper into his swimsuit, so that it... well, covers his crotch a little more efficiently.]

This castle seems to go on forever!

[gerte]

One little gust of wind won't knock it down.

It's sturdy on the inside too. What would happen if we were to crush this very castle with our own hands?

[ That's probably a bad idea and part two isn't going to happen because of Franziska. ]

[bewrightback]

W-well... I imagine that the effect would be much like burying our own graves...

[gerte]

If it's going to become anyone's grave then it'll be yours.

[ She still dislikes Phoenix. War never changes...]

[bewrightback]

Um... Whyyy don't we lean towards no graves, alright?

[gerte]

Fine. As long as this miserable beach doesn't become our grave then it'll turn out the way you want.

There's something like a tunnel here though it's too dark for me to see inside. Care to go in?

[bewrightback]

A tunnel? [He peers around until he spots that tunnel. Although he's mildly bothered by how quickly she volunteered him for the case, he knows he would have volunteered himself anyway. He'd rather risk himself, especially for a younger Franziska.

Still, he rolls his eyes as he moves to take on the task.]

Sure. I'll let you know if it's safe! [So he proceeds ahead into that tunnel!]

[gerte]

Alright. I'll stay here.

Turn back immediately should you run into trouble, fool.

[ Franziska will welcome him back with a whip to the face maybe. This is a better plan than her going in herself. ]

[bewrightback]

Don't you worry about me. [So Phoenix checks out the tunnel, and soon he calls back.]

It looks like there's a light up ahead! This might be the way ou- [Except then there's a rumbling. Phoenix's loudness seems to have caused the tunnel to start collapsing on itself!]

[gerte]

Your foolishly loud and idiotic voice caused the structure to become unsteady.

The light you were seeing better not have been the light of heaven! You did say that you didn't want this place to become your grave. Get a grip, Phoenix Wright. [ Franziska's not exactly helping is she??? rip. ]

[bewrightback]

I- I'm gripping, I swear!! [But the shouting definitely isn't helping.]

...This may sound crazy, but if we make a break for it, we might make it to the exit in time!

[gerte]

Then run as fast as your foolish legs will take you!

The exit's not too far from here.

[ They can get out just fine if all they do is run. Phoenix isn't really lying though, he's right. ]

[bewrightback]

[*He's wright.]

Running it is!! [And Phoenix doesn't hesitate, immediately sprinting right out to the exit! While sand falls down around him... he hopes that Franziska is faring as well!!]

[gerte]

[ Franziska makes a break for it too, but she ends up tripping on some rock. Thankfully she flies towards the exit in the most ungraceful way possible. ]

[bewrightback]

[Phoenix doesn't look too dignified when he sprawls out the exit. Freedom!! But if she's having trouble? He'll reach a hand back in to try to help pull her out.]

Franziska?!

[gerte]

I don't need your help, fool.

[She's so quick to reject Phoenix's help. Franziska gets up by herself. ]

We both managed to escape somehow.

[bewrightback]

Sorry?!

[Phoenix sheepishly withdraws his hand and goes back to not looking directly at her, instead examining the area around them.]

We were quick enough on our feet! Goodbye sand castle... and hopefully this brings us one step closer to being out of this game!
