Obviously this is a good time for memes
Because I just got news that I am awarded a scholarship out of the blue, Bell is a ninja-enabler and this meme (stolen from here) seems like a fun thing, I present to you:
THE ❝5 + 1❞ MEME
A fairly simple meme, but one that will hopefully be fun all the same! Basically the instructions are as follows:

But still, he can't help but miss her now that she's returned to Kurian, and Phoenix muses at the lack of messes and noise and energy in his office. As much as she brought trouble to him, she had been nothing but appreciated company. Now that she's gone the silence and the strange neatness of his office is a little bit disappointing.
But still she says they'll meet again, and Phoenix holds her to that.

Pearl followed him around sometimes as he walked, but the young girl wasn't Maya - she was still shy around him and sometimes left him, so most of the time Phoenix was still on his own as he investigated and tried to find out the truth of this whole situation. As he did his work though the man had to try and ignore how dreadfully quiet and silent it was, and how his investigations lacked Maya's usual commentary. Working with Ema hadn't been the same too, and Phoenix wondered since when had he started expecting Maya around him everywhere.
Thinking about that only made his heart lurch even more at the thought of Maya in detention, and that gave Phoenix even more motivation then ever to find out the truth and get Maya out of there.

It took all within Phoenix to calm himself down, doing his best not to panic even though all he wanted to do now was panic. Maya was kidnapped, and it was all his fault; he should have known better...
Pearl was beside him, confused and uncertain and asking what was wrong as Phoenix paled and trembled and held the phone in his hands, hearing the words of the kidnapper in his ear instructing him on what to do. Get an acquittal for Matt Engarde, said the kidnapper, and only then would Maya be released.
Phoenix thinks about Maya and Peals and Kurian and hamburgers and the Steel Samurai and everything else for a moment before the kidnapper's voice prompts him again and Phoenix agrees.
He has to save Maya, or he'll never be able to see Mia in the face again.

But now wasn't the time to think about that, as he rushed around between the temple and the bridge wondering what could be done. Maya was still trapped there in that isolated temple, and the bridge still wouldn't be fixed for a while yet. All Phoenix could do now was to try and take his mind off things as he glanced around and looked for evidence, thinking of both Iris and Maya and wondering just how things got to this point.
The silence and the howl of the wind was as disturbing as ever, but Phoenix did his best to ignore it.

Phoenix drops them off at the train station, giving them both heartfelt hugs and farewells, saying that he'll go to visit them the best he can once he had the time. There's still a backlog of paperwork to be done, so he's going to be busy for a while yet. Maya grins and tells Phoenix to take care of himself and not keel over, and Phoenix says he's not like Edgeworth. Pearls tell Phoenix to take care of himself for Mystic Maya, something which the man laughs awkwardly at but promises to do so anyway.
He stays to wave at them as the train departs, watching at it vanishes into the distance and tries to ignore the quietly sinking feeling in his chest as he lowers his hand and scratches the back of his head. It'll be quiet without Maya again, and he'll miss her - but at least she'll be fine, and that's what important.
