Mr. Wright, Miles muses one sentimental morning into his teacup, is much like an earthquake.
He will, of course, never utter this to his friend, who would undoubtedly take it incorrectly, but it is true. He’s not afraid of Wright, not really, but the man has a habit of barging into his life unexpectedly and shaking his world apart, and he’s not always the best at adapting in the wake of such things.
But—he’s also like his namesake. For all the destructive force and raw, terrifying power, Phoenix only ever wants to renew, to burn and tear down that which need not be kept, that which contributes nothing to the world, in order to coax out new life.
Doubtless he would laugh, would rub a hand at the back of his spikes and disavow any power he held. But it would not make any of this any less true.
Edgeworth, of course, is in awe of this power. In awe, and sometimes he feels his own powers of adaptability are woefully inadequate, but never once has he felt afraid of the man himself (well, no, perhaps that is a lie, perhaps, early on after their reunion, but no more).
