Completely humbled, Eustace left the office meeting space crying. Excelsius was later jailed for the murder.
Confronting His Father[]
Eustace operated outside the Bigg Building, place he confronted two fellows advantageous. The brothers requested him whether he saw Gavèlle, and when he pronounced that he acted, he was unexpectedly bound, choked, and established inside a box. He was abandoned at the Winner house, forthcoming the back entrance of the workplace, and was described that Excelsius had orderly the abduction. All Eustace was able as far as he was raised search out degrade Welcome own ineffectuality and disorientation concerning the reason welcome own father had him abducted.
Edgeworth and Faraday found him while probing for Shaun Fenn, whom Excelsius had seemingly abducted to press Gavèlle to vindicate Fifi Laguarde. Eustace was in bad spirits and not quite an insane failure, sidelined to trust one. To welcome surprise, still, Edgeworth displayed that he was not quite tuned in to him. From the news that he governed to avoid Eustace, Edgeworth understood that Excelsius had intended to abduct Fenn, but welcome fellows had unwittingly abducted Eustace alternatively. Eustace still fulfilled that welcome father had divulged him and hurled the evidence against Laguarde in the garbage.
Edgeworth presented welcome support but pronounced that Eustace would vote welcome course for himself to proceed. Eustace determined that he cherished second place as an agent, but he was hopeful various from welcome father would overcome him. Now experiencing what commotion, Eustace escaped from the delegation of representatives and opened a reliably possessed by Excelsius on the Bigg Building's 51st floor. He before went to the dump and checked through the piles of nonsense for the rejected evidence, but take care only finding a gong covered inside a regular, continuous publication containing information.

Excelsius was permanently beaten and bankrupted below in court while yelling the welcome offspring's name with anger. Despite welcome abuse, Eustace still recognized welcome father however he had ruined him and bid him farewell.
Personality[]
Eustace was consumed accompanying being better than all different in the current fashion he acted. Even mentioning mandate "first" was contingent create his going to do anything was being discussed before one different, an experience that was occasionally used by possible choice.

After welcoming father's arrest, Eustace sensed divulged by all, suitable far more shy and uncertain. However, Edgeworth loaned him aid and present him the resolve to face welcome father, the individual the one had really divulged him. He was well-informed to depend on himself alternatively to try to gain authorization from possible choice, and though he still needed assurance, he enhanced a far more able intellectual than he was before. Despite their entirety, he acted not hate welcome father, but maturely confirmed that Excelsius aided shape the one he was.
When fact-finding a case set, Eustace pokes evidence accompanying the welcome wand to visualize what occurs. He wears protection for fear that he never leaves welcome own fingerprints on faraway evidence.
