I - I suspect we might be working off different definitions of the word "hijacking."

[Though Edgeworth is perhaps starting to have some small understanding of what's going on. The Capitol, as Edgeworth understood it, was a crushing dictatorship, and crushing dictatorships had a certain set of tools at their disposal. Making me unstable means mentally unstable; if this hijacking was to blame for that, then it was clear what that was.

Still; he isn't about to assume. He must ask.]

My understanding of it is that hijacking is to take over a vehicle, such as a ship, and to hold it hostage. What is your definition?
