    Summary

    As Phoenix Wright hurries off through the courtroom doors, Trucy calls out, “See ya later, old boy!” She gets a wave in return, but behind Phoenix’s easy smile, Apollo can sense a deep uncertainty. He wonders if it’s anything like the worry that swirls in his own stomach, even now.

    --
    Or: At nine years old, Apollo is shipped off to America to stay with his mother. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Summary

    He climbs in the passenger’s seat and Trucy slides into the backseat next to Apollo, who might be half asleep. Clay’s jacket now lies discarded reverently in his lap and Athena’s teal windbreaker is wrapped around his shoulders instead. The thumb of one hand runs idly over the hem of the jacket, and Trucy reaches to hold the other; Apollo barely even reacts.

    “He said he was cold,” Athena whispers when she catches Phoenix watching the pair of them through the rearview mirror. She puts the car in drive and pulls out of her parking space. “Clay’s jacket has Apollo’s blood on it.”

    Phoenix winces. That’s right, he was wearing it when Tonate attacked him.

    Or, the night of the UR-1 retrial, Phoenix Wright picks up the pieces. The lines between father, mentor, and friend may be blurrier than he once anticipated, and that might just be okay.

    Summary

    "This can’t be a prank. How could anyone have found a child who looks and sounds like Apollo at this age, and taught them to speak Khura’inese in this dialect, with this accent? How could anyone have known Nahyuta would even walk this way through the courthouse, for this encounter to occur?
    Nahyuta finally drops his hand to the top of Apollo’s head. 'It’s going to be alright,' he says, with no idea if that’s true."

     

    Still new to LA and barely treading water, Nahyuta is tasked with babysitting his brother one more time.

    Summary

    “I found my mom,” Apollo says, voice so flat and devoid of emotion that at first, Datz doesn’t even recognise the statement for what it is. His expression is far too harrowed for the baby face that he still has.

    He used to pray for news of Apollo’s mother, but now he's finally found her after all these years, he just seems… well. Datz isn’t sure if miserable is the right word for it.

    or: the aftermath of the sibling reveal, through the eyes of datz are'bal.

    Summary

    Even as Dhurke makes contact with the cavern floor, gritting his teeth at the impact and mentally apologising to the poor medium girl whose body he’s currently inhabiting - it doesn’t bother him. What bothers him isn’t the pain or their mystery attacker or the fact that they might not be able to escape.

    It’s Apollo’s scream.

    "Son? Are you alright?"

    "I..." His voice is ragged, his breathing heavy and pained. "I fell on my ankle."
