Summary
As far as Miles can tell, Agent Lang's initial impression of certified hot mess Phoenix "That Man" Wright upon their first meeting wasn't exactly the most positive, and tragically enough, it's not like Miles can really blame him for having that perception.
That said, they both probably should've known that Phoenix hadn't been named the Turnabout Terror for nothing.
(Or: what it means to judge solely based on first appearances and then have all of your expectations rocked off-balance, especially when they revolve around one of the most outstanding attorneys the criminal justice system has ever known).

Summary
“Sorry,” Phoenix manages, because if he doesn’t say anything he’s scared Edgeworth might. It hurts to talk. He doesn’t want to think about it but it’s hard not to notice when words just keep spilling out of his mouth, panicky unfiltered half-thoughts. “Sorry, I’m – I’ll get out of your way. Just. I just need a minute, I’m so sorry—”
“Don’t be absurd,” Edgeworth snaps. Phoenix’s mouth shuts with an audible click; the hard line of Edgeworth’s mouth softens, barely. “I mean – take as long as you need.”

The trial goes to recess.

Summary
It would be easy to worship Phoenix Wright.
After all, it seems all he does is save people with a cocky grin and a slam on the table.
For the longest time, Miles agreed.
