Chapter Text

Klavier Gavin is 24 years old.

He passed the Bar two years ago and earned his badge, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he has yet to have his first trial.

His coworkers at the Justice Law Offices have offered to let him co-counsel in their trials, but he's refused repeatedly, saying he's content with dealing with the paperwork and filing the cases at the office, though he'd occasionally join them in trips to the detention center or to crime scenes. 

He's only ever taken a step in the courtroom perhaps once or twice in his life, the last time being the catalyst of his fear of returning. 

Despite this, he admires his coworkers for the work they do, more so his employer, Thalassa Gramarye Justice, the so-called "Coolest Defense in the West", her ability to stay calm and collected in trials admired throughout the legal world. When he files her cases, he always takes a moment to read through it carefully, learning second-hand from the trial transcripts. 

He was content with this.

Sure, it isn't exactly the most ambitious, as he did have his own ambitions before, when he was much younger, but for now, he was content.

All of that was about to change, however, when Mrs. Justice came by his desk and asked him to accompany her to the detention center to meet a new client.

Klavier packed a few of his belongings, bringing along a notebook and a pen before accompanying the older woman to the detention center, where he would meet the legendary Miles Edgeworth for the first time ever.
