Spoiler: Saiban High School (multi)(complete)
Spoiler: Twist of the Heart (MilesxAdrian)(multi)(in progress)
Spoiler: Managing Emotions (MattxAdrian)(oneshot)
Everybody in the City of Angels, Los Angeles, live a day through their usual routine, for some, they go to work in the morning and get home at night, for others, it's the other way around, night shifts. But every Sunday, children have their own usual routine, watching their favorite cartoon, the Nickel Samurai. They really enjoy watching it.
Of course, no one else would be more happier than the kids except the one playing as the Nickel Samurai, Matt Engarde. He enjoys signing the fans' autographs and of course, he enjoys partying most of all. But amidst all the enjoyment of Matt, one person seems to be having none of it, one Adrian Andrews, Matt Engarde's manager.
Unlike Matt, her everyday life starts off with waking up in the middle of the night because Matt was calling her and of course, she would answer him, she never liked these types of calls since everytime this happens, Matt would only ask pointless questions that could be answered by even a 1st grader, it would always go like this one
“Hey Adrian, hope I didn't disturb you”
“Unfortunately you have, what do you want?”
“Oh, that, uhmm, what do I do when I feel like giving up on signing autographs?”
“Oh please Matt!”
“Adrian” he would say this like a insistent child
“All right, you call your boys in and tell them that you're done for today, all right?”
“All right?”
“Good, now let me get back to sleep!”
Another part of her life is whenever she encounters the show's producers when she goes to the studio, the jealous people were the one who started the Corrida issue after all. Whenever she passes by, this happens
“Hey, hey guys, isn't that the two – faced manager of Engarde?”
“Yeah, I heard that she is also managing that Corrida guy”
“What I've heard is that he was dating her for the past month!”
The producers would take among themselves about gossip and Adrian only pretends to not hear it. But inside, the girl is like a time bomb with its clock going faster than a Ferrari on a free highway!
You might think that her everyday life is bad, but it can get only worse, out of all things Adrian hates, it was Matt's childish ranting! It's his childish attitude that hits her the most, it really ticks her off. She would be stuck with Matt and his rants for about half a day!
One day, she then had an idea, she thought to ask her best friend about this matter. After having lunch with Matt, she then went on to have the phone call,
“Hello, von Karma here”
“Hey, Franziska, it's me, Adrian”
“Hi, Adrian, what did you call me for?”
“Actually, I wanted to ask you something”
“It's about Matt again, isn't it”
“You're right, it's about him”
“What is it you want to talk about, anyway?”
“I was thinking about something, asking myself something”
“Come on, Adrian, you know I won't be of any help if you won't tell me anything!”
“Why did I ever become his manager, who would have known that man was a childish ranter! I'm beginning to feel that I'm gonna die inside!”
“Hahahaha”
“What the hell are you laughing about now!?”
“Easy, Adriana, I'm only joking there!”
“Don't call me Adriana, I'm telling you, I'll hang up if you won't get serious!”
“All right, all right. You want to know what I think, Adriana?”
“What?”
“I think you're in love with the man”
“Wait, you're serious right?” Adrian said this with the most serious tone she can at the moment since she was blushing madly
“I'm serious!”
“No way in hell would I fall for that man!”
“Sometimes, 'the more you hate, the more you love' saying is true, which I can say in your case”
“I need time to rethink this through Franziska, call you later”
“Hey wait!”
In reality, Adrian knew it in herself that what her friend has said to her was true, she was falling in love for the man she was annoyed of the most, however, she can't it in her to accept that bare fact, perhaps she was really wondering what she really felt for Matt.
Am I in love with you? Your childish attitude and all that annoying stuff! Do I get annoyed because I'm falling for you? I know you can't tell me but please, help me make it easier to manage my emotions!
Adrian thought these to herself that afternoon when she was watching Matt during the shooting for the Nickel Samurai was going on. She then wanted to relax a bit so she went to rest in his dressing room, she sat on the couch and placed her glasses on the glass table in front of her and closed her eyes as she slept.
Finally, a bit of relaxation to lay off the hard day and the disturbing thoughts
About two hours later, Adrian's sleep was disturbed by a loud slamming noise
“Huh?” she said as she looked at the door to see who came in
“Adrian, Matt is....” one of the crew members came in to the room and was stuttering with his words
“What?”
“Matt was in an accident! His bike crashed! He's in the hospital now!”
“What!? Oh no!” Adrian then suddenly felt concern for her client, she knew what she had to do, she called off all of Matt's schedules for the week and put all of his meetings the following week on hold. All she was concerned of at that moment was Matt's safety.
She immediately rushed to the hospital where Matt was taken to, she hurriedly asked the reception where Matt is and was shocked to hear that he was still in the operating room. Her heart nearly stopped but she still rushed to the operating room, waiting in front of the two doors that will determine Matt's fate when opened.
She was there alone for about an hour until Franziska and some staff of the studios arrived,
“How is he?” Franziska asked worryingly, noticing that her friend was openly crying here all them time
“I don't know, Franziska, I don't know” answered Adrian, who really was crying
“Damn it! We still haven't found that guy who crashed onto Engarde!” Nicol, one of the crew members said, obviously upset that they still haven't found the culprit behind Matt's accident
Suddenly the two doors to the operating room opened and then came Matt, who was then being transferred to his own private room for recovery, a doctor then headed towards Adrian and the others.
“Are you Mr. Engarde's companions?”
“Yes, doctor” Adrian answered “Is Matt, okay now?” she added
“Yes, although he might take about a week in recovery since his injuries were severe” said the doctor with a hesitant tone “It was a miracle he was still alive” he added, his tone changing to a surprised one. These words however hit Adrian hard, nearly driving her to the edge of insanity. She knew Matt was hurt, but she never considered him dying.
“May I know what happened to him?” Adrian asked in her usual serious manner, trying to hide the fact that she nearly had a heart attack out of worry for Matt
“Well, five of his ribs were shattered, his left shoulder was broken but what made his condition worse was the fact that even with his helmet on, he still suffered a concussion, which is miraculously the thing that saved his life. I can't even imagine what would become of him if he didn't wear his helmet.” said the doctor
“Thank you, doctor” Adrian said, with a faint smile on her face “By the way, where is his room?” she added
“It's on the third floor, room 3-16” the doctor answered “Well, if you'll excuse me” the doctor then left Adrian and the others.
Adrian then faced Nicol, and said “Nicol, you guys head back to the studio and tell the producers we would cancel filming for a whole month”
“A whole month!? You serious, Andrews!?” Nicol knew it was too much of a break for Matt since the doctor only said it would take one week
Adrian just glared at Nicol until he finally gave in “I suppose he needs all the break he can get, fine, I'll let the producers know this” he sighed, then turned around and left the hospital with the other crew members.
Adrian and Franziska then rushed to Matt's room where they found him still sleeping. His bandages freshly applied and everything else seemed normal. Adrian then took a seat and sat right beside Matt's bed while Franziska took a seat and sat beside the door, probably waiting for someone else.
Adrian was holding Matt's hand and was constantly whispering “Please keep safe”, apparently out of shock for both his condition and his miraculous save. Franziska of course noticed this but was still switching glances between her best friend and the window in the door.
Finally, the door opened and came in three people, two men and a girl, one man was wearing a red coat with a black vest and a white shirt under it and white cravats, the other was wearing a blue coat with a white shirt and a red tie, the girl was wearing a purple jacket and a khaki acolyte's uniform under it.
“What took you so long, Miles?” Franziska said as she saw Edgeworth enter the room
“Sorry, Wright called me and said they wanted to come so I fetched them first”
“Oh, I see”
“How's ?” Wright asked Franziska
“He's fine for now, the doctor said that he needs about a week to rest here” Franziska answered
“And Ms. Adrian?” Maya asked as she noticed Adrian, who had fell asleep beside Matt
Franziska then pointed to the outside of the room, probably wanting to tell Maya but not when Adrian is here. The two then got out and started to talk
“So, what about Ms. Adrian?” Maya began
“Listen, Maya, I know you're the only I can tell this secret to” said Franziska
“Okay, so what's up with her? I feel like she's taking this all too seriously”
“Well actually, she does” Franziska said “But not for business, but personally”
“Personally?” Maya asked “Like.....in love!?”
“Keep it down!” Franziska said as Maya said it too loud “Yes, well actually, I just feel like she is in love with Matt” She then told about the phone call that Adrian made and the reaction she saw from her when she arrived at the hospital.
“I see” said Maya “Well, after everything that has happened between them and what you said, it's just obvious!” she added
“I can't seem to help her on this one” admitted Franziska, “You have any ideas?” she asked
Maya was thinking deeply, probably having an idea, she was looking up until something came into her mind “Hey, let's pull the guys out of there, I think leaving the two of them alone would help” she suggested
“I think so” said Franziska “All right, let's do it”
They then called the two boys out and told them everything that they had been talking about, apparently, Maya thought that leaving the two of them alone would be great, since she thought that it would help Adrian think better. Knowing Adrian, she can think through any situation, given her personality, but in this case, it was her emotions holding her judgment.
Inside his room, Matt Engarde was slowly awakening, his eyes fluttered and when he finally opened it, he felt something warm in his left hand, he then looked to see it was Adrian, who probably fell asleep by his side. He called her name out once “Adrian” and then she too woke up
“M-Matt?” Adrian was surprised to see Matt was awake, she then looked behind to look for Franziska but there was nobody there, just her and Matt, alone in the room.
I wonder where she could be
Adrian thought about where her friend was, a voice then spoke
“I'm sorry” it was Matt who spoke, Adrian immediately looked up, despite her eyes red due to her seemingly endless tears earlier
“F-for what?” she asked
“For everything” he said “I know I've caused you much trouble, I know you're growing tired of me and my rants” he added
“N-no...I” Adrian was at a loss for words, she didn't realize it until now, the possibility of Matt Engarde doing everything in purpose. She had considered every possible angle, from accidental to circumstantial angles that those things happened, yet she never considered the angle that was intentional, she never considered the fact that he may be doing it on purpose.
But still, if ever she considered that fact, the next thing that would face her would be the question “why?”. The motive behind Matt's actions, she was now trying to thing about what he meant.
“I know, I am childish, I admit” Matt said as he winced at every second he was trying to get up, despite his ribs being shattered. “But there is a reason behind that” he added
Adrian's eyes were watery, she was going to cry, but she fought to hold it back, she then looked at Matt straight in the eye and asked “Why, Matt? Tell me” she asked in between sniffing, obviously failing to control her emotions.
“Because” he then pulled her head closer to his “Because I......I love you, Adrian” Matt then slowly brushed his lips against hers, her tears were now falling. A few moments later they parted and Adrian, slowly looking back up towards Matt, had this to say
“Matt....I.....I love you too” she then returned the kiss he gave her earlier, locking their lips longer
Meanwhile, outside the room, Franziska and the others were looking at the two and their jaws dropped when they saw the two making out
“Whoa! Hold it!” Wright said as he never saw this coming, even after knowing Adrian's feelings for Matt
“Ah.....No way!” Miles too never saw it coming, what he expected was Adrian making the move, but it seemed it was the other way around
“What the......” Maya was just stunned, she knew Adrian's feelings, but she never expected for it to be happening like this too soon
Franziska, unlike the rest, was just smiling at the sight of the two
“You don't seem to be phased at all, Franziska” said Wright as he noticed the unusual calm reaction by Franziska
“I saw this coming a long time ago” Franziska boasted, referring to the phone call she had with Adrian the other day
“Well, she is your best friend after all” added Miles
“At least they've officially made out and that's fine by me” concluded Maya
Back in the room, Matt seemed to have noticed the four of them out the window and by the time Adrian and his lips parted, he immediately pointed to them with his free hand. Adrian then looked back and saw the four, she realized they had been watching the two of them make out and she blushed madly, sending the four of them and Matt laughing.
After a whole week of recovery, Matt Engarde is released from the hospital and immediately goes on a date with Adrian. He took her to many places, but now, they were not riding in a motorcycle, instead, it was Adrian's blue sports car they were using.
After three more weeks, Matt Engarde and Adrian Andrews were ready to go back to work in Global Studios. People were shocked and everybody they passed by stared at them, obvious shock seen in their faces as the once strict manager of Engarde, Adrian Andrews, was now going to work at the same time as Matt and their hands together.
“Hey, Adriana, don't you have a problem with all these guys staring at us?” Matt whispered to Adrian
“No, I don't. Do you?” she asked back
“Of course I don't” he said
“Well then, Matt” Adrian then leaned into Matt's arm “Let's get going then”
Adrian knew about everything about her job as a showbiz manager and also about dealing with her daily life, planning her schedules and what to do she wanted to know everything. But in the end, there was one thing she didn't want to know about, it was managing her emotions, especially towards Matt, she wanted her emotions to run free, her love for the man she once avoided has taught her one thing, sometimes it's the most unexpected of circumstances that leads one to their destinies, and that was just what happened between her and Matt Engarde.
Of course, no one else would be more happier than the kids except the one playing as the Nickel Samurai, Matt Engarde.

Spoiler: My Kitten's Coffee (MiaxDiego)(oneshot)
Grossberg Law Offices, the place where the late famous defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth formerly worked at. It was a pleasant place, where everyday the familiar scent of lemons is amidst the office of Marvin Grossberg, the law firm's proprietor.
But it wasn't just lemons that are unique in Grossberg Law Offices, there is also the fragrance of dark coffee floating around in the lawyer's office. The scent of dark coffee coming from the office pantry's coffee machine every morning, the coffee machine which is used everyday by Diego Armando.
Everyday, Diego would make two cups of his good coffee blend, which is still a secret only he would know. Nobody knows why he makes two cups, some say he drinks two cups during the morning, others say that he saves one for the rest of the day. But his true intentions was totally different from that one.
Mia Fey would arrive at the office at 10am, and everytime she would come in, and place her things in her desk, she would always see a cup of coffee in it. She never bothered to ask why there was coffee in her desk, she would just drink it and that's that.
But then one day, Mia Fey arrived at the office at still the same time, but this time, there was no coffee on her desk. She was confused as to why there was no coffee. It was the very first time it happened and she had been receiving free coffee at her desk everyday for three months now. She wondered why, but never bothered to ask
Noontime, and Mia was filing case reports of other lawyers since she hasn't taken any case yet since she started working here. One of the contents of the case report she was to file was with Diego Armando, the hotshot coffee addict that always tries to hit on her. She never liked it, so she wanted to get the report from him and run away quick, but to her surprise, he wasn't there. She asked one of his friends but told her that he wasn't around the whole day.
Then something hit her, Diego's absence and her coffee's disappearance, she thought that it was connected but rejected the thought in her mind.
Why would he give me coffee anyway!? It's not like we're dating or something
The thought of the word 'dating' made Mia blush hard while sitting in her desk, she wasn't interested in the man but now, she is feeling some sort of keen interest in Diego. Not only because of the coffee, but also because she realized that she keeps denying him when he hits on her, was because she too was in love with the man.
She went home, thinking about what she really feels for Diego.
I didn't know this before but now, I love him, I really really love him!
The next day, Mia had gone to the office far earlier than expected, she was there at 6am, 30 minutes before Diego arrived at the office. When 6:30 came, Diego arrived, he immediately noticed Mia. He then got worried, about how he would sneak the coffee into her desk.
Damn, my kitten's here. How the hell would I slip the coffee in now?
Still, it would disappoint Mia more if she didn't get a free coffee, so he went to the pantry and started brewing his special blend. After it was done, his chances got in as Mia was called to Grossberg's office. His chance came.
All right, here's the opening
Diego first put the two cups of coffee in his desk to avoid any suspicion from his fellow mates, he sat down for a while before taking Mia's cup and slowly waltzing to her desk. But as his luck would have it, the moment he placed Mia's cup, she returned.
What the hell!? That was fast
Diego can't get away there now since he would be caught by Mia, which would ruin his plan. The only thing he had left was to stay there until Mia gets there.
“Hey Kitten, early today huh?”
“Yeah, I figured it'll be better if I get here earlier”
“Could be right about that. Hey, is that coffee?”
“Yeah, someone's giving me these things lately, always arrive here with this on my table”
“Really now”
Mia then sips a little from the coffee and then turns her attention on Diego
“Say Mr. Armando, could you tell me why you weren't here yesterday?”
“Eh? Well that's because.....”
“Never mind” Mia then blushed, realizing Diego doesn't have an excuse “Would you mind taking a look at these right here?” Mia pointed to the papers that were on her desk
“Sure”
Diego then approached leaned onto Mia's desk and started to look at the papers, when he realized that they were blank. He got caught off guard and....
“Hey Kitten, is this some kind of a......”
Mia then crashed her lips against Diego's stunning him
“Wha-” Diego stuttered
“Thanks for the coffee” Mia then gave Diego a warm smile, which made him blush
“It's nothing, really” Diego then returned her kiss
It was just coffee that brought them together, imagine that! No one would ever think that a simple thing such as coffee could make two people start dating. There really is no question there.
The best part of waking up, is Diego in your cup.
But it wasn't just lemons that are unique in Grossberg Law Offices, there is also the fragrance of dark coffee floating around in the lawyer's office. The scent of dark coffee coming from the office pantry's coffee machine every morning, the coffee machine which is used everyday by Diego Armando.
Everyday, Diego would make two cups of his good coffee blend, which is still a secret only he would know. Nobody knows why he makes two cups, some say he drinks two cups during the morning, others say that he saves one for the rest of the day. But his true intentions was totally different from that one.
Mia Fey would arrive at the office at 10am, and everytime she would come in, and place her things in her desk, she would always see a cup of coffee in it. She never bothered to ask why there was coffee in her desk, she would just drink it and that's that.
But then one day, Mia Fey arrived at the office at still the same time, but this time, there was no coffee on her desk. She was confused as to why there was no coffee. It was the very first time it happened and she had been receiving free coffee at her desk everyday for three months now. She wondered why, but never bothered to ask
Noontime, and Mia was filing case reports of other lawyers since she hasn't taken any case yet since she started working here. One of the contents of the case report she was to file was with Diego Armando, the hotshot coffee addict that always tries to hit on her. She never liked it, so she wanted to get the report from him and run away quick, but to her surprise, he wasn't there. She asked one of his friends but told her that he wasn't around the whole day.
Then something hit her, Diego's absence and her coffee's disappearance, she thought that it was connected but rejected the thought in her mind.
Why would he give me coffee anyway!? It's not like we're dating or something
The thought of the word 'dating' made Mia blush hard while sitting in her desk, she wasn't interested in the man but now, she is feeling some sort of keen interest in Diego. Not only because of the coffee, but also because she realized that she keeps denying him when he hits on her, was because she too was in love with the man.
She went home, thinking about what she really feels for Diego.
I didn't know this before but now, I love him, I really really love him!

Spoiler: Developing Trust (Slight FranziskaxAdrian)(onsehot)
After the Kurain Treasure Exhibit robbery incident was solved, the exhibit went through without a hitch and became famous in its opening day. People were coming in and out of Lordly Tailor Department Store almost every second only because of that exhibit.
Even though her exhibit was a success, there was still something that was on Adrian Andrews' mind and was still bothering her. Did she really do the right thing? Was it really wise of her to hire Luke Atmey? Did she really think through everything that could possibly happen?
Everything she was thinking reminded her of her worst nightmare, the Juan Corrida Murder Case, the time where the word “trust” didn't exist for her. She was a totally different person back then, she didn't trust anyone, not even herself, and she kept on trailing her dead mentor's shadow. She didn't want to be reminded of those dark times, but she herself has brought it upon her.
The only solution she could think of right now was to consult the person who guided her to change, the last person she ever depended on, Prosecutor Franziska von Karma.
She decides to call Franziska and ask for help about her problem,
-RING-RING-RING-
“Hello, von Karma speaking”
“Ms. Von Karma, it's Adrian”
“Yes, what is it?”
“I need to talk to you about something”
“And that would be....?”
“Can we meet up later, say...5 in the afternoon, in the usual place”
“5? Hmmm.....sure. Is that all?”
“Yes, I'll be seeing you later then?”
“Uh-huh, I'll see you later”
Adrian sighed in relief, she did not expect Franziska to agree to her that easy. All she needed to do was just wait for 5 to arrive and then, she might find the answer she is seeking.
5:00, in the 12th floor restaurant of Lordly Tailor, the usual place where the two usually meet.
“So what did you call me here for?” asked Franziska in a rather annoyed tone
“Actually, I wanted to ask for advice” replied Adrian hesitantly
“Advice? For what?” Franziska was concerned, it's rare for her friend to ask for advice and when she does, it's usually serious
“You see, something has been bugging me” began Adrian “I can't seem to find out if I made the right choice of trusting that man” she said
“I see” said Franziska “You know, it's kind of hard to explain how you learn and value trust” she added “But in your case, I'm guessing you really trusted that thief, didn't you?” she asked
“Yes, and deeply, at that” said Adrian
“I see, that explains how you are seriously bothered” Franziska opened “I'm surprised you're not hurt at all” she added
“Not at all, Ms. Von Karma!” protested Adrian “It hurts so much it won't leave me alone!” she added
“That's why you need to learn how to control your trust!” said Franziska “Listen to me, Adrian Andrews, you never trust someone fully until you yourself are sure that person can be trusted” she added
“What do you mean by that?”
“It means that if you would trust someone, you should ask yourself first, is this person trustworthy? Cause if not, you might get hurt......and that's just what happened to you”
“But how would I know if someone is trustworthy or not?”
“That depends on you......it's just you who chooses who to trust so you have to think it through carefully and when you are sure, you can give your full trust to a person”
“But wouldn't that be the same as depending on someone?”
“No, Adrian, you've changed far too much, I'm sure you realize when a person betrays your trust. Depending on someone means that even when you're in hot waters, you still trust that person, that's what happened to you and me before. And you're now mature enough to avoid that from happening once again”
“I see, thank you, Ms. Von Karma”
And after that day, Adrian's new objective was now clear, she now needed to think things through before letting it happen. She must now make sure that Luke Atmey's mistrust never happens to her again.

I admit, I was the one who made the mistake and I understand your anger

Still, you left me, just because of a relationship that was already over!

Why did you leave me like that? Was it because you can't accept the fact I had someone before you?
Or because it was Engarde I had a relationship with? For your pride!?
I just don't get it!
I'm now so confused, so confused that I don't want this anymore
Adrian, I'm sorry if I can't guide you anymore, but please believe this

Spoiler: Inner Self (Kristoph Gavin)(oneshot)
Solitary Cell #13, the only solitary cell in the precinct that has been fabulously decorated. Book shelf on the wall, filled with books of both law and literature. Beside this table is a wooden desk along with a swivel chair, a swivel chair where the prisoner of that cell, Kristoph Gavin is always seated, facing the small window, looking out into the light, thinking deep all the time.
Every prison guard that passes by his cell always wonders about one thing, “Why does Kristoph Gavin always sit in his swivel chair, facing the window and looking lost in thought?”
That question was answered by Kristoph himself, in one of the talks he had with his brother, Prosecutor Klavier Gavin.
It was one Thursday, morning, Klavier was to visit Kristoph when one prison guard told him about his brother looking lost in thought. He knew this was unusual, as Kristoph usually reads books or plays his violin instead. So he decides to find out the answer himself.
As Kristoph was released into the Detention Center lobby, one look of Klavier tells him he is curious about something.
“Klavier, what is it you want to know from me?” he asked
“Bruder, I've heard from one of the guards of your cell that you always seem lost in thought, is that true?” said Klavier, obviously concerned about his brother
“Ah, it seems that the guards are right” said Kristoph, agreeing to what the guards have said
“What happened to you, Kristoph?” asked Klavier, even more concerned
“It seems that my inner self has returned to me once more” he said in a confident tone
“Your......inner self?” Klavier asked in a now curious tone, he was interested to hear more about his older brother
“It all started eight years ago, the days of your first trial, and Phoenix Wright's last”
Eight years ago, during the pretrial investigation of Zak Gramarye's trial, Kristoph was in his office, thinking of something deep.
Should I really push through with that? What would happen if I was found out using faulty evidence?
Kristoph was deep in thought about the consequences of his plan to use a forged diary page in the trial, he had just heard of a painter who sidelines as a forger, so he had his plans. However, he still has some heavy doubts about his choice.
I really am nervous about what I'm about to do! What should I do? Should I do it, or not? I am now confused, totally!
By now, Kristoph was sure that he would abandon his plans to forge evidence. But his inner demons are now saying otherwise
“What reason would be there to abandon your plans, Kristoph? Go ahead with it, you've got nothing to lose, right? And if ever that forger would talk, you can simply poison him, just look straight at that medicine cabinet, Kristoph, look at that beautiful bottle of atroquinine!”
His inner demons echoed throughout his mind, and so his plan had been set. He would push through with the forgery, and if the forger would turn on him, he has the bottle of atroquinine to shut them up.
The next day, down at Drew Studio, Kristoph Gavin finally meets Drew Misham, the said forger.
“Hello, Mr. Misham, I'm here to request your services”
“And you are?”
“Kristoph Gavin, defense attorney. I've heard about you, Mr. Misham, people say you do forgeries?”
“Actually, no, I'm not the one who does the forgery, I'm just a simple painter”
“Then? Who does?”
A girl then suddenly comes out of a room, a little girl with long, blue hair and wearing an artist's apron
“Father, who is the visitor?” the girl asks in a soft, nervous tone
“Ah, Mr. Gavin, this is my daughter, Vera, she's the one who does the forgeries”
“I see, it's nice to meet you, Vera” Kristoph then smiled at Vera
Vera just stayed silent and looked back at her father
“We can start the work now, if you'd like, Mr. Gavin”
“I'd be glad to, here's the diary” Kristoph then hands over the torn diary “I only want a forgery of the torn page, here's the letter I wanted to be written on it” Kristoph then hands over the message “And we're all set”
“All right, Vera, can you work on this now?” asked Drew, only getting a nod as a response
“I'll just come back tomorrow to check on things” said Kristoph before standing up “It was nice meeting you, Mr. Misham, Vera” Kristoph then left the studio
The next day, Kristoph comes back to the studio to find Vera already working on his requested forgery, there, he notices something strange. Vera was unusually biting her nails often
“You seem to be troubled, young Vera, is there a problem” asked Kristoph, Vera just keeps biting her nails
“I'm nervous” she mutters
“Oh, is that so? I'm sorry” Kristoph then leaves Vera and proceeds to talk to Drew, who was currently painting some portraits
“Mr. Gavin? What is it?”
“I was hoping if you could tell me more about Vera”
“What is it you want to know about her?”
“She seems, too quiet”
“That's because of an incident when she was young”
“An incident?”
“Yes, my little Vera was involved in an incident when she was very little, someone tried to kidnap her. That traumatized her badly, she didn't even want to step out of the house anymore”
“I see, that's too bad.”
Kristoph had an idea to gain Vera's trust and plan his insurance at the same time. That night, Kristoph has bought a bottle of his favorite Ariadoney nail polish and mixed atroquinine in it. He plans to convince Vera that the nail polish would be a good luck charm.
The next day, Kristoph arrived at the Studio and finds Vera biting her nails again while working in his forgery, she was nearly finished with it. He then puts the nail polish in her table, she was immediately curious about the peculiar hand shaped bottle.
“What is this?” she asks, still in a soft tone
“It's nail polish, or you could say a lucky charm”
“A lucky charm?”
“Yes, this would keep you out of any trouble”
“Really!? Thanks you so much, Mr. Gavin!”
The next day, Kristoph's requested forgery was mailed to him along with a letter, a letter requesting the payment.
Kristoph had another trap set in mind, he had heard from Drew that one of Vera's favorite magicians was his client, the Troupe Gramarye. With that, he sent a letter of the payment along with a commemorative stamp of the Gramaryes. With the stamp also has a letter, a letter that states that Drew would send a letter of receipt and would use that stamp. Unknown to them, Kristoph had applied a little amount of atroquinine on the stamp, so there would be two traps that would go off, one was Vera's nail polish and the commemorative stamp. This time, Kristoph was sure that his plan would be foolproof.
While his traps may be foolproof, his defense wasn't, as Zak Gramarye called him down to his cell to play a game of poker, which he lost, miserably. After the match, Zak called Kristoph off as his attorney and had Phoenix Wright, the most famous defense attorney at that time, as a replacement. This totally infuriated Kristoph.
So to make sure that Wright's trial would go blow, he used his requested forgery to take him down. He talks to Klavier, who was the prosecutor for that case and informs him about Drew and the forged evidence, claiming it was Wright who requested the forgery.
His plan to sabotage the trial was a success, Wright presented the false evidence, Klavier calls Drew to confirm it's fake, and Wright's credibility is severely damaged. However, Kristoph did not expect a single drawback, Zak Gramarye's disappearance from the courtroom. That left the trial with no verdict.
Kristoph knew that with Zak on the loose, there would be the possibility that the Mishams would talk about his involvement in the forgery. But he need not worry, as his trap was going to go off without a hitch, the only people he would put tabs on would be Phoenix Wright and Spark Brushel, the reporter who knew of his presence inside Drew Studio, he was sure Brushel would notice in time, but he decides to watch the person who would notice the fastest, Phoenix Wright
In the board meeting to decide Phoenix Wright's fate as a defense attorney, he decides to stand up for him, even if he was the only one. This made him have close ties with Wright. What he did not expect was for Wright to doubt him, even if they are already friends.
It took him seven more years to find out where Zak was, but in those seven years, he was totally unsure of himself, he was living in fear. Fear of his secret being exposed, and even fear of himself
What have I done? I shouldn't have went through with that forgery! Maybe if I didn't I couldn't even have gotten into this mess!
The day arrived, and when the opportunity came, the only person who knew his close involvement, Zak Gramarye, was killed by Kristoph. Wright was accused of murder and he decides to defend him to keep his close ties strong. However, it was Wright who turned the tables on him.
Wright was known to get his clients or himself off the hook and get the true killer, this time it worked again. Wright was able to get himself off the hook and indict Kristoph as the real killer, with the help of his own apprentice, Apollo Justice.
Kristoph was convicted, and ever since that day, his inner demons have been talking to him. And when he was called upon as a special witness in the murder of Drew Misham, his true plan was unveiled, and he was once again guilty of murder.
Now this time, with no more secrets left to be unveiled, his conscience was the one taking control over him.
“I see, well, I'm glad to see you're back to your old self now, bruder” said Klavier
“You know, Klavier, I just realized that I am thinking of ways to repent for my crime. But now that I'm on death row, I guess death would be my penance”
“Kristoph, don't say things like that, you're still here, breathing, in front of me”
“Don't worry, I was just kidding, but seriously, I really believe that it really is the right time for me to repent”
“I agree with you on that, Kristoph”
“Well, I better get going, your visiting hours may have exceeded already”
“All right, I'll see you again then, bruder”
“Til' next time, bruderlein”
And with that, Kristoph returns to his cell, and starts drifting into silence to think once more about what he can do to free himself of his burdens.
Every prison guard that passes by his cell always wonders about one thing, “Why does Kristoph Gavin always sit in his swivel chair, facing the window and looking lost in thought?”
That question was answered by Kristoph himself, in one of the talks he had with his brother, Prosecutor Klavier Gavin.

“It all started eight years ago, the days of your first trial, and Phoenix Wright's last”
Eight years ago, during the pretrial investigation of Zak Gramarye's trial, Kristoph was in his office, thinking of something deep.
Should I really push through with that? What would happen if I was found out using faulty evidence?
Kristoph was deep in thought about the consequences of his plan to use a forged diary page in the trial, he had just heard of a painter who sidelines as a forger, so he had his plans. However, he still has some heavy doubts about his choice.

The next day, Kristoph arrived at the Studio and finds Vera biting her nails again while working in his forgery, she was nearly finished with it. He then puts the nail polish in her table, she was immediately curious about the peculiar hand shaped bottle.
“What is this?” she asks, still in a soft tone
“It's nail polish, or you could say a lucky charm”
“A lucky charm?”
“Yes, this would keep you out of any trouble”
“Really!? Thanks you so much, Mr. Gavin!”
The next day, Kristoph's requested forgery was mailed to him along with a letter, a letter requesting the payment.
Kristoph had another trap set in mind, he had heard from Drew that one of Vera's favorite magicians was his client, the Troupe Gramarye. With that, he sent a letter of the payment along with a commemorative stamp of the Gramaryes. With the stamp also has a letter, a letter that states that Drew would send a letter of receipt and would use that stamp. Unknown to them, Kristoph had applied a little amount of atroquinine on the stamp, so there would be two traps that would go off, one was Vera's nail polish and the commemorative stamp. This time, Kristoph was sure that his plan would be foolproof.
While his traps may be foolproof, his defense wasn't, as Zak Gramarye called him down to his cell to play a game of poker, which he lost, miserably. After the match, Zak called Kristoph off as his attorney and had Phoenix Wright, the most famous defense attorney at that time, as a replacement. This totally infuriated Kristoph.
So to make sure that Wright's trial would go blow, he used his requested forgery to take him down. He talks to Klavier, who was the prosecutor for that case and informs him about Drew and the forged evidence, claiming it was Wright who requested the forgery.
His plan to sabotage the trial was a success, Wright presented the false evidence, Klavier calls Drew to confirm it's fake, and Wright's credibility is severely damaged. However, Kristoph did not expect a single drawback, Zak Gramarye's disappearance from the courtroom. That left the trial with no verdict.
Kristoph knew that with Zak on the loose, there would be the possibility that the Mishams would talk about his involvement in the forgery. But he need not worry, as his trap was going to go off without a hitch, the only people he would put tabs on would be Phoenix Wright and Spark Brushel, the reporter who knew of his presence inside Drew Studio, he was sure Brushel would notice in time, but he decides to watch the person who would notice the fastest, Phoenix Wright
In the board meeting to decide Phoenix Wright's fate as a defense attorney, he decides to stand up for him, even if he was the only one. This made him have close ties with Wright. What he did not expect was for Wright to doubt him, even if they are already friends.
It took him seven more years to find out where Zak was, but in those seven years, he was totally unsure of himself, he was living in fear. Fear of his secret being exposed, and even fear of himself
What have I done? I shouldn't have went through with that forgery! Maybe if I didn't I couldn't even have gotten into this mess!
The day arrived, and when the opportunity came, the only person who knew his close involvement, Zak Gramarye, was killed by Kristoph. Wright was accused of murder and he decides to defend him to keep his close ties strong. However, it was Wright who turned the tables on him.
Wright was known to get his clients or himself off the hook and get the true killer, this time it worked again. Wright was able to get himself off the hook and indict Kristoph as the real killer, with the help of his own apprentice, Apollo Justice.
Kristoph was convicted, and ever since that day, his inner demons have been talking to him. And when he was called upon as a special witness in the murder of Drew Misham, his true plan was unveiled, and he was once again guilty of murder.
Now this time, with no more secrets left to be unveiled, his conscience was the one taking control over him.
“I see, well, I'm glad to see you're back to your old self now, bruder” said Klavier
“You know, Klavier, I just realized that I am thinking of ways to repent for my crime. But now that I'm on death row, I guess death would be my penance”
“Kristoph, don't say things like that, you're still here, breathing, in front of me”
“Don't worry, I was just kidding, but seriously, I really believe that it really is the right time for me to repent”
“I agree with you on that, Kristoph”
“Well, I better get going, your visiting hours may have exceeded already”
“All right, I'll see you again then, bruder”
“Til' next time, bruderlein”
And with that, Kristoph returns to his cell, and starts drifting into silence to think once more about what he can do to free himself of his burdens.
Spoiler: The Right Message, The Wrong Time (ApolloxTrucy)(oneshot)
“Wake up, Polly!” Trucy shouted at Apollo, who seemed rather annoyed by the magician's sudden wake up call.
“What the! Trucy, it's only 7!” He protested, throwing his head back into his pillow “And don't go calling me Pol-”
“Na-ah-ah!” Trucy interrupted “You promised, remember?”
“What!?” Apollo asked
“That you would allow me to call you Polly” said Trucy
“When the hell did I say that!?” Apollo, now overly annoyed, asked
Trucy sighed “I didn't know a 25 year old like you could be so forgetful!” she said before glaring at Apollo, whose head was still sunk into his pillow “You promised me that when you proposed to me last week! Don't you remember!?” she shouted, followed by looking at her elegant diamond ring that was in her gloved hand.
“Oh” Apollo said “Right, sorry Truce” he added
“It's ok, now get up!” said Trucy, pulling Apollo out from his bed, causing him to fall down
“What do you want me to get up so early for, anyway?” Apollo, still confused as to why his girlfriend would wake him up two hours before the alarm would sound.
“I would like to tell daddy about it!” Trucy answered
“About.....our engagement?” Apollo, looking a bit surprised, asked
“Yeah! What else could it be about!?” she excitedly said
“Ummm” said Apollo “I'm not totally sure about this, Truce. What if he doesn't?”
“Oh please, Polly!” protested Trucy “I'm sure daddy would understand!”
I hope so Trucy, I hope it would be that easy
Phoenix Wright was sitting in the dinner table in the Wright Anything Agency eating his breakfast. He was also thinking of Apollo and Trucy's true relationship.
Those two...Apollo and Trucy....I just hope they don't fall in love with the way they treat each other
“Daddy!” Trucy called out as she and Apollo walk towards the dining area
“Good morning, you two” said Phoenix
“Daddy, we want to tell you something” said Trucy
Phoenix felt his heart beat faster, as thoughts of Trucy and Apollo being in love suddenly raced into his mind
I hope it's not what I think it is “What is it, dear?”
Trucy took Apollo's right hand and held out her right hand to Phoenix, flashing two identical diamond rings
“Mr. Wright” began Apollo “I just wanted to tell you that Trucy and I......we're getting married” he added
Phoenix felt as if he was going to either have a heart attack or just die right there. His thoughts weren't just confirmed, they were made worse. He expected a dating permission, he got a wedding proposal.
He was alright with the two of them getting married, but not until Thalassa Gramarye, their mother, showed up and told him the truth. He was nervous of how she would react to this high level of relationship between the siblings.
He was left in a total blank “Daddy? Are you ok?” worriedly asked Trucy
“Oh, yeah” said Phoenix “Congratulations” he said in a joyful tone, trying to hide his worries. Luckily for him, Apollo just said “Thank you, Mr. Wright” and not see his twitched everywhere.
That day, Apollo and Trucy were out on a date, so Phoenix had the rest of the day to think about what to do. His only choice was to call Thalassa, and to tell her about the siblings' relationship. He knows she can think of a way to tell them the truth and at the same time, avoid further confrontations.
He picks up his cellphone in the office and dials Thalassa's number.
“Hello”
“Hello, Thalassa, this is Phoenix Wright”
“Oh, Mr. Wright! What can I do for you?”
“It's about the children”
Thalassa's voice grew from normal to serious “What about them?”
“Trucy and Apollo...they're......they're getting married”
What Wright expected was Thalassa freaking out about the forbidden relationship but all he got was a dismayed sigh “I suppose....it's time to tell them the truth, before it's too late” she said
“I agree” said Wright “Can you be here in the office tonight?”
“Yes, I want to settle this with them as soon as possible”
“So tonight then”
“Yes”
While Phoenix and Thalassa were busy discussing how to reveal the truth to them, Apollo and Trucy were having fun on their first date as an engaged couple. They've went to the mall and got to roam around the park.
Finally, at about 5 in the afternoon, they've decided to walk home.
“You really know how much I love you, don't you, Truce?” asked Apollo
“Of course, Apollo. Do you?” Trucy asked back
“I sure do!” said Apollo “You know, I think your dad was shocked this morning”
“What makes you think that?” a curious Trucy asks
“I mean we didn't even let him know we were dating”
“And that's what made it better! It was a total surprise!”
“I sure hope he was happy with that”
When they arrived home, they found Wright sitting on the dinner table along with a woman with long, brown hair wearing a white dress that Trucy knew too well.
“Good evening daddy” said Trucy as she went and kissed Wright on the cheek, she then looked at Thalassa “and mommy”
“You still recognize me?” Thalassa asked
“Of course, mom” said Trucy “Aren't you happy to see your daughter?” she asked
“Yes, I am happy, happy to see my beautiful daughter” Thalassa paused for a moment “and my son” she said while looking at Apollo
“Your...son?” Trucy then looked directly at Apollo “Mommy? Are you joking? Because this isn't funny, right daddy?” she said
“No, Trucy, what your mother says is true” said Phoenix
“Trucy” started Thalassa “Meet your brother”
“No!” Trucy takes a step back “No! Nooooo!” She runs out from the agency in tears, leaving Apollo alone with Wright and Thalassa
“So...what do you want to say now?” asked Apollo in an angry tone
“I know I've done a lot of bad things to you and your sister” said Thalassa “But please, you have to understand, Apollo!” she pleaded
“Understand what!?” Apollo said “I don't even know what to do anymore, now that the truth is revealed”
“I was wrong” said Thalassa, tears forming in her eyes “I should have told you sooner, I was aware, for three years! But I didn't even do anything” Thalassa said, her tears uncontrollably falling down her cheeks
“And you knew this too, didn't you, Mr. Wright?” Apollo turned to Phoenix, who was just watching this very emotional reunion
“Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I didn't want to see Trucy sad, but it still happened” said Phoenix
“Why, mother?” Apollo turned back to Thalassa “Why didn't you tell us sooner!?” he cried out
“I was scared” replied Thalassa “I didn't know how to tell you, or even how you would react” she added
“But if you told us sooner, things wouldn't even had to come to this” Apollo said “And now.....my sister can't accept the truth. Even I am finding it hard because.....because I loved her!” he cried out
Apollo knew he can't handle it, but he has to accept the truth, and the same goes for Trucy. He steps out of the office, and went down the apartment in the hopes of finding Trucy. Luckily, he finds her sitting on the stairs, crying.
“Trucy” said Apollo as he approached his sister
“I know, we can't continue this relationship anymore.” said Trucy, her head still buried in her hands
“You're wrong, the only thing that we can't continue is the wedding.” said Apollo “But we can still love each other” he added
“But how can we?” Trucy asked
“You're right, we can't be lovers, because we're siblings” said Apollo “But even though our blood links us together, our hearts' connection is still stronger” he added
“Polly?” said Trucy, as she looks at Apollo, she then throws herself into Apollo's arms and cries harder
“It's ok, Trucy, I'm still here for you.” assured Apollo “It just so happens that the right message was given at the wrong time” he added
Trucy then stops crying for a moment and looks Apollo in the eye before saying “I love you, Apollo” and Apollo returning it “I love you too, Trucy” and the next thing that happened was them kissing for what seemed like eternity.
Even though they can't be lovers, their strong bond would still remain as a bond between a brother and sister.
“What the! Trucy, it's only 7!” He protested, throwing his head back into his pillow “And don't go calling me Pol-”
“Na-ah-ah!” Trucy interrupted “You promised, remember?”
