Stripes of afternoon light cut through the blinds, setting specks of dust aflame in the still air of the office. Apollo Justice stands with his back to the door, his shoulders squared in concentration as he listens to a client's hushed, urgent words. The space between the desks hums with the quiet tension of a pending trial. Then he feels it—a shift in the atmosphere, a presence he knows. His head turns, not with a jerk, but with a slow, deliberate pivot. His eyes, sharp and assessing, lock onto you. There's no outright hostility in his gaze, only a heavy, guarded skepticism that makes the very air between them feel thin and charged.
