[Written at around 3 AM or so.]

I haven't been able to sleep lately.

Everything keeps changing, patterns changing before my eyes. It's hard to focus. I feel [pause] I need her [crossed out heavily after a minute]

[long pause. Then, in slightly shakier handwriting]

There will be a fire today.

[A long pause. Her eyes narrow.]

How can you be sure?

[patternprophet]

I saw it.

[madame_mimieux]

[After a moment's hesitation, she decides to take him for his word.]

Are you going to try and stop it?

[patternprophet]

I could try, although I'm not sure if it's what I'm supposed to do.

[revengeisbitter]

Where?

[patternprophet]

I don't know. It wasn't clear.

[revengeisbitter]

What the hell do you mean, it wasn't clear? Do you know who might get hurt?

he's lying

[patternprophet]

I could only see what happened to me. I don't know if anyone gets hurt.

[bitchykid]

There are a lot of fires in New York.

[patternprophet]

[pause, he recognizes the handwriting]

This one is connected to the others from past weeks.

[bitchykid]

Others? I [Roxas pause, thinking gloomy things.] just got into town today.

[patternprophet]

There were two fires, one three weeks ago that hit Edgeworth's office, and one two weeks ago that hit The Black Cat, and killed the police chief. There will be another one tonight.

Where were you?

[dreamerspark]

Were you having bad dreams or something?

[patternprophet]

Sometimes. Other times, I just couldn't fall asleep.

[dreamerspark]

Oh... That must be pretty awful for you either way.

[patternprophet]

It is. Though the nightmares bother me more.
