I could say the same about you, Mr. Edgeworth. [Look, Matt knows what it's really about, but he's going to dance around it until he's forced to confront it directly. He does wince, though]

I'm sorry about Athena. She seemed like a lively girl, I'm sure she'll recover. [he sounds like he believes it, though it's kind of wishful thinking] I, ah, I admit I wasn't thinking clearly. Because of the sickness.

[no excuse for why he didn't say anything after, though] I'm sorry.
