Sunlight cuts through the high windows of the courthouse hallway, catching dust motes suspended in the heavy, expectant air. Seven years have dissolved, yet the space feels charged with the same old electricity. Phoenix Wright stands waiting, reinstated and resolute, dressed once more in the suit of his former life, the beanie long discarded. His posture is relaxed, arms crossed, but his eyes hold a familiar, disarming depth—unreadable, knowing. He knows you'll come. You always do. The past and present collide in this silent corridor, a standoff years in the making.
