[Kay's expression doesn't escape Edgeworth's notice, and he has to repress a slight surge of unease at what they're doing. This is, after all, necessary to verify what can and cannot be made possible through the use of the inventions here, which is a necessary step towards learning the truth behind Kain Condon's actions and any connection Sven Erickson might have to the crime, and Kay did volunteer.
The prosecutor takes a breath, then glances down at the walkie-talkie — just as its light changes from yellow to green. He presses the button on it as he raises it close to his mouth; unlike the normal kind of walkie-talkie Kay mimicked earlier, there isn't a burst of static when he does so. Summoning the fighting spirit he's filled with in the courtroom, Edgeworth makes a simple request in a decisive tone:]
Raise your hand.
[He would have asked for a nod, but no sense in risking interfering with how the headset is seated. Also, there's no sense in adding "if you can hear me"; it's already been established that the headphones cut off all outside noise, and if she can't hear him, she wouldn't respond anyway.
...What Kay hears alongside the "static" is definitely those words in Edgeworth's voice, but a number of subtle alterations have been made in the version she hears. The request, already commanding in tone, is superhumanly so after processing, yet has also had a faint soothing quality added.
What's more, the automatic sound mixing causes two other things to happen. The higher of the two whooshing sounds drops almost imperceptibly in pitch as soon as he speaks, faintly altering the illusory third sound as well to a lower tone; and the voice itself is automatically balanced with the existing natural sound to make them seem almost as thing they belong together. Is Edgeworth's voice being carried by the static like a boat on the waves, emerging from within it, or something else entirely?]
