At the Sprocket Manor Foyer...

It was a very nice mansion, Maya was even impressed!

Maya: Wow! This place does NOT disappoint! Ooh, I'm so excited!

(Y/N) and Phoenix: Maya! Slow down!

Nichody: Now, then. We won't have to worry about anyone untoward eavesdropping here. I take it you wanted to ask me some questions...?

(Y/N) and Phoenix: That's why you brought us here?!

Nichody: I am sorry to have tricked you like this. But this IS a murder, after all. I couldn't talk openly about it in public and risk sullying the Sprocket family's reputation.

Maya: Aww... And I was REALLY looking forward to all those fancy snacks, too...

She looked down with disappointment, and you just hugged and kissed her.

(Y/N): It's okay Maya. You'll eat a lot after this is all over.

Maya: Promise?

(Y/N): Yes!

Maya: Great! Oh! A radio! Neat!

She rushed off, only to trip and crash into said radio.

Phoenix: Maya!

Maya: Sorry!

Nichody: Not to worry.

He summoned a mech to repair it.

(Y/N): That's neat!

Nichody: I am not only the butler, but I'm also Sprocket Aviation's repair department director. One might say that "patching things up" is my specialty.

Maya: That was incredible! What IS that little doohickey on your shoulder, anyway?

Nichody: It's my "FXR-UPR" shoulder mech. Master Sorin made it for me. It has too many features and functions to effectively enumerate at the moment, though.

Maya: COOL!!!

Nichody: Fixing things is a simple matter. But fixing people is a different matter... Even a skilled physician can't bring back the dead. Oh, but forgive me. I seem to have gotten sidetracked.

(Y/N): It's fine.

You noticed a picture of a young lady.

(Y/N): Hmm ...

Photo Frame added to the Court Record...

You also took notice of the photo of the reception.

Reception photo added to Court Record...

(Y/N): Hey, Nichody, what can you tell us about the incident?

Nichody: About the incident Miss Ellen was arrested for... ...do you think she did it?

Phoenix: Well, I can't prove it yet, but no, I don't think she could've done it. I guess you could call it a gut feeling.

Nichody: I see. I guess we have different opinions, then.

(Y/N): We do?

Nichody: The prosecution says that when Gloomsbury attacked Miss Ellen, she fought back... ...and ended up killing him. I agree with this perspective. Or rather, that is the consensus of the entire Sprocket family.

(Y/N): Even so, I heard an interesting story from Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth. I heard that the Sprocket family had tried to pressure the Prosecutor's Office... ...into burying this case.

Nichody: I fear you are mistaken. All we sought was merely a legal consultation. Besides, none of it matters now, as she is no longer a part of this family. Fortunately for us, they had yet to get their marriage license before holding the banquet. ......I realize how callous I must sound. But my duty is to protect the Sprocket family, and more specifically... ...Sprocket Aviation's future and Master Sorin, whose genius is essential to the company. I will do anything to achieve that goal. That is my job as the Sprocket family butler.
