[i hate ace attorney so much stop cross examining animals]
Maybe the one I know is a little more mature than the one you know. Or maybe less. They could be different.

[ tbf they were therapy animals for prisoners, which... was still ridiculous the way it was done but less ridiculous than if the animals WERE the prisoners?? ]
Yeah, I guess yours had that whole "dark age of the law" thing or whatever... Do you know how old he was?

[it is slightly less ridiculous at least]
Twenty... eight? Ish? Or so?

Maybe? [i'm losing it] I don't know, he never mentioned you. Just uh, just Phoenix Wright? That's the only other name I know.
[ why didn't he mention him!!! he already knew that was the case, but he still looks sad to be reminded of it. ]
Wasn't that the guy who cross examined the parrot and got Mr. von Karma arrested...?
[ as if she knows...
hilariously phoenix's name is never mentioned a single time in the investigations games, but his dad probably thought the shit from that trial was funny and told him about it. ]

[she just stares into space]
... Maybe? That sounds stupid enough to have happened, so probably. [she has no faith in any of the cases miles has told her about ever]

[she's probably sitting in the lobby staring at the doors that lead the station, actually! she's got a flask. when she hears sebastian, her ear flicks, and she glances back at him.]
... Hey. [a little smile.] You okay, bud?
... Hey. [a little smile.] You okay, bud?
...Yeah. Wish I'd suggested using the horn thing on him a few minutes earlier, though.
[ he's always going to wish he did something sooner.
he sits down next to her and sighs. ]
This was... a pretty rough one. A-and Sheila was kind of like a mom to me, too... but... I think I was more prepared for it after last week.
[ that really was a rude awakening about just how completely the shadows can control someone... at least it was for him. ]

[it's affection week so she wraps her arm around sebastian's shoulders.]
It's okay. The last thirty minutes everybody loses their minds a little. [...] I'm sorry you lost her. She's uh - she's such a solid force.
[she takes a drink.]
She's a little like a mom for me, too, and I'm way older than her, haha.

Yep. It's all in the subtext. Maybe the main text, too.
What, Diluc confessing?
[a pause.] I think it means he just made himself a big target.

Well. Yeah...
[ there's a long pause here where it seems like he's about to stop but then rethinks what he's planning to say a bunch of times. ]
I'm just. So mad that he never admitted it to all of us before this, once the shadow was gone. Like, I get that he was trying to protect himself, but... both Alphinaud and Bucky died because of him! And I'm mad that everyone who knew kept covering for him!
Like— even if it was shadows making him do it, he's still at least as responsible for what happened to both of them and their hostages as all the killers we executed were! He should be responsible for twice as much as the rest of them!
So... why was he allowed to get away with all of that when Kazunari and Sheila had to die?

I agree with you, babe.
[she rubs his back a little.]
... I don't know why. World's not really fair that way, you know? [...] We're not going to let them stay dead. I don't know how we're going to do it, but I promise. Okay?

[a nod.]
I will. You're useful too, you know that? You're a smart kid. [she ruffles his hair.] I don't know what even I can do just yet, but if I find something - I'll get you in on it, okay? We can trade whatever information we hear.

She did, yeah. What do you think about it? I'm curious.
