[The time for this, he says. Clovis deals with unsettling information the way that he always does, by ignoring that it exists. His death and the death that he witnessed are not concern of him, because he is still alive now. He can live as happily as he wants without worry. Besides, can a person really die in a dream? That was just -- an impossibility. And there's no reason one should focus on impossibilities. It is but a waste of time.]
The murderer? I think that you could use time away from such business.
I'm not just sitting around, Clovis. [Well, he sort of is. There hasn't been any new information discovered lately, so all he can do is sit around and wait. He's already investigated that entire building from top to bottom several times over.] Besides, the thoughts will remain whether I choose to dwell upon them or not.
[He doesn't say anything else in response to this at first as he inwardly struggles to come to a decision.
In his mind and in his heart live a variety of very conflicting emotions. The rational part of this argument makes a compelling statement: Clovis does have a point. The emotional, however, intends to hold him back. It reminds him that what has happened cannot simply be forgotten, and he has no business even trying to take his mind off of it until Franziska's death has been avenged.
It's when the rational side bites back with a strong rebuttal that his choice is made: even were he to find Franziska's killer this very moment, it would not make him any happier. Getting some rest and refreshing his mind, on the other hand, might improve his mood even if slightly.]
I see your point.
[But he is Edgeworth, he's not good with expressing feelings and he was taught to never show weakness, so he's still being difficult about actually agreeing.]
