I wanted you to catch Blaise for me... So I took dear little Kay.
It comes to mind all too vividly. Cloaked with a modulation device, the unsettling voice of the Mastermind had set the tone of the conversation to make it feel more like she and Edgeworth were having a phone call with some kind of demon, rather than a human. Those words hadn't even been directed at Kay, but they'd struck her to the core all the same. That she'd been used like some kind of pawn to manipulate someone so very dear to her... That hurts. And it haunts her that she was pulled into this world before she and Mr. Edgeworth could identify the perpetrator and bring them to justice.
She doesn't want to explain all that, though. That's no one's concern but her own.
"Of course there was value! I'm the Yatagarasu, remember?" she jokes, putting on her best happy-go-lucky grin. "Plus... We're certain my accuser, the real murderer, wasn't the person who drugged me." She shrugs. "Like I said... It was a complicated case. Makes my head hurt to think about, for more reasons than one."
There's a beat; the grin fades as Kay cocks her head at him, looking a bit worried. "Hey, um... By the way... Do me a favor? I don't know when you'd even get the chance, but... Don't mention any of what I just told you to Mr. Wright, OK?"
