"It was clear that von Karma didn't believe what the nurses fed him about his condition, either." Javert had taken out his own journal by now and was also taking notes, the pen fairly flying across the paper as he listened. "However, I'm still not sure if he was actually aware of what occurred during that week, or if he was indeed unconscious as he claimed to be. I suppose it's a matter that requires further investigation."

He nodded slightly at Edgeworth's line of reasoning; there was little else to say to that. "Precisely. This would be the first time I've heard of anything going wrong during an experiment. It seems far too convenient for me."

Intravenous lines were completely foreign to him, but Javert tried to think back nonetheless, tapping his pen on his journal as he tried to remember. At last he shook his head with a touch of resignation. "I've gone so long in this place, bandages no longer stand out to me. I wouldn't have thought to look at his arms anyway; I was focusing on the stroke. Even if a bandage had been there once, I rather doubt it is now."
