[dictated while she's sitting in the library! she's quiet, though, so as not to disturb the other people ... reading ...]

So, have you guys heard of the flower Amaryllis? It's a gorgeous red flower. But there's a story about how it came about ... it's said that there was a nymph who was in love with a man, who was really attractive and strong and all that. But her love was unrequited, so she asked this oracle for some advice on how to capture his attention. She heard that the one thing he'd like most in the world was a flower that was so unique that it didn't exist yet.

So, going by the oracle's advice, she came to his door every night for a month, and stabbed herself in the heart with a golden arrow. The guy never even answered the door for a whole month, but when he finally did, all the blood she had spilled had turned into a beautiful red flower.

I guess she died? She must have, right?

Well, whatever. It's kind of weird how so many stories say that beautiful things can only come out of tragedy.

True. Yet, he was aware, otherwise he wouldn't have spurned her, which led to her demise. I suppose she made her feelings known almost as soon as she was cognizant of them. I guess it goes to say that there's just no hope for one who loves no one but himself. [Having seen this on a few occasions, himself.]

Yeah, you're right about that. Guys who are that self absorbed are the worst!

Hoping for a second there that he didn't fit in that category at some point]

...I have reason to believe I've encountered worse.

Seriously?

It's not an uncommon occurrence when you're a drone of the judicial system. For example, I'd regularly encounter fanatic, self-aggrandized lovers from spurned relationships who resorted to death-threats and, in the worst case, murder. I've even had them aimed at such as myself. Even females can quite frightening in that respect...

Oh, right, you're the lawyer ... [ASSUMING SHE SAW HIM AT THE PP MEETING ... IF THAT'S OKAY .... if not I can delete haha] I used to have a friend here who did that kind of stuff, but I don't know if he ever mentioned stuff like that ...

...Indeed. [That's most alright, don't worry XD] 'Used to'...? Who might that have been?

Yeah, he left awhile ago.

Umm ... well, you might not know him, but his name was Apollo. I think he said he was working for some Phoenix guy. Was that right? Something "Wright" ...

...Phoenix Wright? He...worked for Phoenix Wright?

I think that's what he said, yeah. Do you know him?

....

...Quite well, actually.

Really? Are you guys friends or something?

[DERP]

Friends, and not but just. [He means friends and 'rivals,' for the extra bit. Really, he does.]

[she pauses, before letting out a little laugh]

Well, I think I can sympathize. I have a person like that, myself.

Ah. Would they happen to be - how they say - a 'frenemy'?

[giggles] Well, I haven't heard that word until now, but maybe? It's more like best friends, and rivals.

Exactly. An interesting dynamic, is it not?

Mm-hmm. She's a pain in the ass, but I don't know what I'd do without her.

...I can identify with that sentiment immensely.

You are quite fortunate. I oftentimes find that it's the right sort of relationship to keep one on their toes.

Well, that makes you pretty fortunate too, huh? But you're right, there's never a moment to rest when you have someone like that to contend with.

...[pause] You could certainly say that.

Now, this, 'Apollo' fellow, what was his last name? Wright never did mention another understudy...

Oh, right! His name was Apollo Justice. It seemed like he was from the future, though, because I don't think that guy even knew who he was, here ...

It appears to me that we are, for the most part, victims of displaced timelines. I, myself, along with Wright, came from the year 2019, whereas I've encountered some who have claimed to be from a few years to several decades in the past... Was he an assistant, or an attorney?

Um ...

[yeah, she doesn't really know a whole lot about that whole thing]

I think he was an attorney. But I don't really get the law system you guys use so I'm not a hundred percent sure.

What kind of judicial system do you have where you're from?
