DISCLAIMER: Phoenix Wright belongs to Capcom.
This one takes place at the very beginning of the second case in the first game... during Mia's murder scene.
Phoenix arrived at the office a little earlier than the time Mia had told him to be there. He was always late for things and since this was technically (more like wishful thinking on his part) their first date, he didn't want to screw it up by being late.
As Phoenix entered the office, he heard a crash from the other room. Something was wrong...
He quietly opened the door to the inner office. There he saw Mia Fey, who had fallen to the ground in front of the window, and Redd White, who had picked "the Thinker" and was getting ready to strike the killing blow.
"MIA!! NO!!" Phoenix screamed and dived in front of her.
Thunk.
"Oh my God! Phoenix!"
The criminal fled the scene as Phoenix's limp body fell into Mia's lap.
"Phoenix..."
"Unhhh," Phoenix moaned. He looked up at Mia through half-closed eyes. "You okay?" he asked weakly.
"I'm fine, Phoenix, but you're...!"
Phoenix was smiling as he slipped into unconsciousness... moments later he was... gone.
When Maya Fey entered her sister's office, she found Mia crying bitter tears over the body of a man in a blue suit with spiky black hair...
"Sis! Sis, what happened?" Maya knelt next to her.
"Maya..." Mia lifted her head and looked at her sister through tear-filled eyes. "Maya... I want to see Phoenix again. I didn't get a chance to say thank you. And... and I need to... I need to tell him that I love him. Do you think you can call him for me...?"
