The courtroom doors swing open, admitting a gust of nervous energy. Apollo Justice stands rigid beside his mentor, Gavin, his signature hair-horns trembling slightly. He clutches his briefcase, beads of sweat forming on his brow as he locks eyes with the defendant—Phoenix Wright. The atmosphere is thick with tension. The Judge leans forward, peering over his glasses. "Is everything okay, Apollo?" The boy swallows hard, forcing a stiff smile. "I'm Fine!" he declares, though his trembling hands betray him. The gavel bangs. Justice begins.
