*ah, yes, phoenix wright
*...oh, he's actually phoenix wright. this is canon character time.
*Boy, Ema's theme is certainly different in this canon.
*the incredibly common authenticity sin of mentioning an actual year in ace attorney. granted, given the competition, authenticity is the last thing you're going for, but it STILL PEEVES ME
*i bet an owner did it and they took the SECRET MOUNTAIN PATH
*...Trenchcoat and fedora? WE'RE PLAYING AS GREGORY EDGEWORTH WHO FAKED HIS OWN DEATH ~36 YEARS AGO
*No profiles so far? At all? Not even a detective badge in my court record I mean organizer?
*"So, you think it's a murder? Tell me... tell me who the suspect is. I'll make sure they... *cracks neck* aren't a problem. "
*This must be the desolate corridor they talked about. The corridor... of letting known assassins just walk away from potential foul play.
*ooh there's mysterious backstory hereeeeeee that i don't understand
*What a great end. Protagonist screws the rules and goes home.
*There's a man. He's burned. And then he walks down this desolate corridor.
*If there's two people in the corridor besides the man, it's hardly desolate!
-----------------------------------
*Apollo has EVOLVED and is now EVEN MORE HEAVILY COVERED IN BANDAGES
*Man, for all his age, he still looks 23. Even with the severe burns. Somehow. Maybe the burns inhibited his aging.
*I'm assuming Kristoph took advantage of some amnesia-like state Apollo had and took him in again?
*Ooh, this is original art? Neat!
*Day 1? This is either a dating sim or a Chzo Mythos game, and either way it's good.
*"Something caught my eye. It was that the entire newspaper was in Japanese. Janet Hsu didn't do a very good job of localizing this."
*Huh, I would've expected that, after Kristoph told him that he would arrest him tomorrow, that Sternwood would've stayed in his home and come quick to introduce us.
*Kristoph is known for having such an outstanding nose that he can not only smell blood, but also tens of meters away through a solid door, and in trace amounts.
*My reaction exactly, Apollo. Sigh.
*wait, so does this take place after the canon timeline or not? because i can't imagine any series of events where an independant lawyer!nick would ever want to be in the same room as kristoph. hobo!nick, certainly, but not lawyer!nick.
*Looks like the precinct was upgraded! Presuming it was ever as it looked like in the aa series!
*please stop standing a bit to the side, fellows. it's freaking me out, and i won't tell if you have to stand on some guy's desk.
*Half of the court record are people whose faces I don't know. Please reveal yourself to me, victims and deKiller, thanks. I need to clean this court record up.
*I mean, we KNOW it's deKiller. There's his card, right there.
*...Although, nothing was said about the card being at Wonderley's death, and obviously the killer sent that letter, so it's probably not him.
*SPOOKY MYSTERIOUS MENTAL DISORDERS THAT BORDER ON MAGIC!!!! MAYBE! I'm assuming here. I hope it borders on magic.
*Kristoph has transformed into a 16-year-old girl!
*With all these detectives, I'm beginning to see that the main difference between this and Ace Attorney is that this is actually Ace Detective.
*Hey, you're probably going to get some insurance pay-outs! That's always a good thing!
*...There's GOTTA be a pun in "Helen Nell" but I'm totally missing it. As far as I know, a Helinal is not a thing. Or L.N.L.
*I really like how we're SO CLOSE to talking about Mr. Nell's murder but we keep missing all the connections.
*........little orphan ammie
*I'm honestly hurt I can't ask about EITHER of the potted plants in the room.
*With how bright those windows are, I'm pretty sure seeing into the room past the glare would be basically impossible. In real life, anyway.
*Oh no, I misclicked somewhere that I already clicked and then the investigation ended! Was this actually timed??? CURSE YOU, KRISTOPH, WITH YOUR IMPLIED TIMERS
*OH NO I COULDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION WITH MY PARKING TICKET
*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I NEED TO GO BACK oh thank god it's so easy
*A second time, all I found was the ticket again. BACK AGAIN, FOUR MINUTES BEFORE I DIE, METAPHORICALLY
*I would've considered that the TV lead to the same place as the cupboard, but okay, guess I found some pills. Better tell Louis.
*The investigation ended right after... but I'm not convinced. TIME MACHINE GO
*Okay, I'm convinced now. It doen't seem like I can click anywhere else. And alright, the pill bottle works! Now I can say it's totally murder because someone parked here on the 21st and it wasn't the victim because she can't drive, right?
*Erring on the side of getting the truth as quickly as possible is ALWAYS the right decision!
*Getting sued is a pretty reasonable outcome to this, really. But what if we hirED AN ACEA TTOEREY
*Forget who? Who's this man with the stitches talking to me in my dreams?
*A single untimed frame of nothing but darkness. Quite poetic.
*Yo, Shellster, stop killing everyone, thanks.
*That was a bad ending??? What?? It was great! Also, my last decision was ages ago!
*Fine, I'll let justice slip through my fingers.
*"D'oh! I let Kristoph have the parking ticket!" *canned laughter*
*Who would've guessed that Kristoph was the real killer (or at least an accomplice)? He's such an upstanding man! No track record of anything like this!
*seriously, what's with the garlic thing. is wario the killer? ...oh my god, wario's the killer. WARIO, WHY?????
*Does garlic actually smell like iron? ...What does iron even smell like? It's a metal.
*"What happened here?" "Oh, you know how periods are..."
*"A hitch"? oh no nick's dead too i bet. CURSE YOU, WARIO
*Every suspect is dead... except for APOLLO HIMSELF, HE MURDERED EVERYONE
*Wait, that's seriously an end too? Jeeze, I'm awful at being Apollo Justice.
*...Was I NOT supposed to find the right answer to the deductiony thing? What a cleverly counter-intuitive solution! If that's indeed right!
*Wait, no, then the game ends even sooner.
*...Huh. I guess this is really the end. The end... of the desolate corridor.
*And that's how my story ends. Every single person related to the crime is dead, and I have absolutely no information that could lead me anywhere new. I'll never know exactly happened to Amelia on that garlic-y October weekend in her apartment in downtown Los Angeles, because as far as everyone else is concerned, I'm just a burned man walking down the desolate corridor.
