Well, they didn't really show him. Since his chair was facing the window. I think Nina mentioned that he was resting his head on his arm, or possibly with his head back on the head rest. My memory's so fuzzy!

I'll just quote it here (since I'm currently playing through it). Marked as spoilers incase anyone wants to play the fangame themselves:
(His chair's turned towards the window…)
(I can just see the top of his head…)
Dialogue skip
(Could he be…?)
(I'd better go over there and see…)
…!
(He is!)
(He's asleep in his chair!)
…

That's it.
Then it goes straight back to their planned meeting.

Oh! That's what I remember, guess my mind was filling in the blanks with the way he was sleeping. I wish it had more spriting and better imagery, but I take what I can get. I suppose I forgot to mention that about it before.

I just played through the whole thing (not the first time I burn through a fangame/fan case within' an hour or three).
Yeah, it only had a few custom-made characters (OCs that had unique sprites), 1 edited art piece (from AAI2?), and an actual fan-made art piece. You take what you can get though.
It was entertaining though. The constant references and humor and general obliviousness of the characters. Amazing.

Agreed, the only thing I'd change would be the sprites and the fan art scene with her falling on him. But that's also where I found out her hair color, so…

I ended up making a couple sprites of Nina. Hopefully I can finish the rest at some point.

I also came up with a name for her brother (brainstorm here): Jack Lawson. I also decided he was at some point Gregory Edgeworth's assistant, just for the sake of- I don't know why. XD
He's a nerd, loves TV shows from the 70's-80's. He wears glasses that slip down, really cool and geeky character in my eyes.

But, the way his character died really sucked, one of those times the game would sort of… Let you down with something, like a crazy man murdered him because his pet turtle choked on a cookie lil' Nina made? I couldn't help but laugh! But I think it sort of conveys just how deranged the character was supposed to be. I just hate that they reused Matt Engarde though, couldn't they have used any sprites from Court-Records? I would have liked that better.

Oblivious Edgeworth is- literally canon. Especially when it comes to feelings (of all types).

Ace Attorney: Justice For All, Farewell, My Turnabout
Miles literally “died” for the first 3 cases of the game. When he shows up again, Phoenix is all mad (probably crying too) on why he made him/them think that he was dead. Edgeworth remains oblivious to Phoenix's feelings (to my memory) and gets straight to his point. Why he came back and making Phoenix think a bit more on why he became a defense attorney. Totally not for him.

I'm just going to take this from the AA wiki's transcript (since I can't find my own screenshot… :()
Meele: I don't get it. Why are you covering for Ms. Rhoda all of a sudden? Oh! Now I get it! Maybe you've “got your eye” on Ms. Rhoda…
Edgeworth: Of course I'm keeping an eye on her! I can't very well let her escape, can I?
It legit just flies over his head (no pun intended).
Ace Attorney Investigations, The Kidnapped Turnabout
Once again, I'm just gonna quote the game (thank you to the Ace Attorney Wiki transcripter)
Paups: ……………… Ah! No, Lauren! Stop! I mean, this man's so much older than you!
Kay: Hee hee, looks like you've completely stolen her away, Mr. Edgeworth!
Gumshoe: Way to go, sir!
Kay: Your technique is way beyong the level of a Great Thief!
Edgeworth: ? What are you going on about now?
Kay: Wow… Your deducing skills may be sound, but you have no street-smarts.
Lauren literally says, out loud, basically, don't fall in love (with an older man)… flew right over Edgeworth's head. Again. What's even funnier is that Kay and Gumshoe point it out and he's oblivious. OBLIVIOUS
I rest my case.

Yeah I didn't really like how Jack- I'm stealing that name for sake of consistency- died. It's super, super, super petty. And as soon as I saw the reused Matt Engarde, I knew somethin' was gonna go down. And I was Wright too. Poor Nina. Having someone kidnap her, lure her crush mentor to her spot to basically have him killed for her suffering. Thank goodness Gumshoe was in character… unlike a lot of Investigations. In my opinion. Gumshoe was… dumber than usual… but at least he had his loving heart.
Jack sounds like an interesting character! I like the personality you've given him.
(It probably only took a few hours to finish the fangame for me because I had the instant text option-)

(Hehehe, Wright) Yeah, the man was deranged, that's all I can say. And I feel like Jack's (thanks for using it!) life was literally wasted over nothing, because of that man's insanity. He was studying to become a defense attorney, with Diego Armando no less! And was really good friends with him. I really found that connection with him very interesting, and not at all “Mary-sueish” like it could have been.

Ugh, this is gonna sound mean, but he's such a man sometimes. You know how its been a stereotype that men can't see any kinds of feelings unless they're right there in your face, whether or not its concern, pain, anger or love etc.?
Well, he's so dense that he's gotten himself into that stereotype. XD Poor guy. I think he's got some sort of disconnect from his own emotions (so they won't hurt him), but it only resulted in losing his ability to sense other's emotions, therefore making him… Like that.

Or maybe he did realize what was going on in a few of those situations, and he just didn't want to confront it, by playing dumb.

I think it (him being oblivious to feelings) balances his character out. We have to remember- this guy is freaking intelligent and emotionally strong on so many levels. He's (AAI)able to not flinch at gunpoint, hold himself together for (AA1)the part of Turnabout Goodbyes where DL-6 is talked about, and (Investigations again but not really a spoiler) basically solve cases with just simple logic and deductions cuz everyone else is apparently super dumb? Sure, doesn't have many “street-smarts”, but for his job, he does it well for not having a “magical lawyer power”. (*coughing* Wright Anything Agency)
…At this point I'm just writing an essay on why Edgeworth is a really well-written character.

I think it (him being oblivious to feelings) balances his character out. We have to remember- this guy is freaking intelligent and emotionally strong on so many levels. He's (AAI)able to not flinch at gunpoint, hold himself together for (AA1)the part of Turnabout Goodbyes where DL-6 is talked about, and (Investigations again but not really a spoiler) basically solve cases with just simple logic and deductions cuz everyone else is apparently super dumb? Sure, doesn't have many “street-smarts”, but for his job, he does it well for not having a “magical lawyer power”. (*coughing* Wright Anything Agency)
…At this point I'm just writing an essay on why Edgeworth is a really well-written character.

Yup, I agree. Although, he did faint at gunpoint in Turnabout Reminiscence. Oh, and the fear of earthquakes was still there in Airlines, but that's normal. Now, the reason he was willingly able to think about DL-6 was indeed thanks to Turnabout Goodbyes, but he wasn't actually thinking about it in the mindset of who the victim was. Notice he thought: “ I was trapped inside an elevator for hours and a man was murdered” or something to that effect. Unfortunately, he still hasn't fully gotten over it. The death of your own father is something you can never get over of course, its something that you have to learn to live with, and he's been too busy trying to block it all away.
I think him saying he won't have nightmares any longer was more optimistic than anything, sadly. But it was no longer every night.
He was still able to open up to Kay about it but that was because he felt the need to comfort and relate to her on some level, so she wouldn't suffer the way he did.
(Dang… I thought I was noveled out by the Nintendo Topic. XD)

Wait, he did? I must of skimmed over that bit… He was also what, 20, 22 at the time?
Yeah, him saying he won't have nightmares anymore was pretty bold.
I'm not exactly sure what to say here because you have amazing points… which support why Edgeworth is a well-written/well-balanced character.

Merry Christmas to you!
For me it's Almost Christmas. (“Which means it was still Christmas Eve!”)

I guess the forums didn't like us talking about how well-written and traumatized Edgeworth is…

Hmm, I guess so.
It was a very entertaining essay though, I enjoyed reading it
