Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"From Shot to Call PT 2"

even though apollo was feeling more confident, he was still nervous about the mr hat and trucy's "abdication" act, he wasn't on what to say, he was just gonna bluff if anything

'Court is now back in session'

'Right! We're fine!'

apollo said, trying to sound fine, apprently it wasn't so good because the judge looked down at them both with side eyes

'...... Ahem. I'd like to say to the young lady standing next to you, Mr. Justice...'

trucy shot up her head towards the judge

'Oh, you mean me?'

he was looking at her as if she was a little crazy

'Don't you have anything to report? Anything... concerning the mysterious phantom in the silk top hat?'

apollo panicked a little as he quickly intervened, trying to think of an excuse 

'Ah! Right! Him! Don't worry about him. I settled that'

'You "settled" that...?'

he stuttered a bit on his words

'Erm, yes, it was an... out of court settlement! Right'

klavier however, looked over at trucy, then back at apollo, during the recess, he had remembered that trucy was a magician, and probably had something to do with the mysterious person, apollo's reaction only confirmed it for him more

'Perhaps Fräulein would have us believe it was nothing more than a passing dream... ...a fantastic illusion, now you see it, now you don't. Am I right?'

trucy looked at him, acting natural, as she muttered in apollo's ear

'...I think he's on to me'

apollo could see that too, and pouted

"I wish he would stop being so... so cool"

'Let us dispense with these niceties and get straight to the matter. What are your plans for our gifted witness?'

he said, smiling over at apollo

'R-Right... The defense would like to request another cross-examination! B-Because... Because I forgot to ask something'

he said a little sheepishly, honestly it was a poor excuse, but he wasn't sure on what else to say

'There was no issue with the witness's previous testimony. I will grant your request, however. But this court will not permit stalling for time!'

he warned

'...Understood, Your Honor'

'Don't forget, Apollo! When he isn't sure about something, he has a habit of fiddling with his book!'

trucy reminded him, when stickler repeated his testimony to the court, apollo wasn't sure if he was gonna find anything

'I could not prevent the killer from leaving the scene, Nor could I simply leave the scene in good conscience, Ergo! I used my cell phone to call the police, Until the police arrived at the scene 10 minutes later, I saw no one else'

despite his best efforts, apollo still couldn't see anything, he didn't notice anything off

"I'm not sure I'm qualified to "watch" testimonies after all..."

'Focus, Apollo! Find his weak spot!'

trucy said, trying to encourage him, apollo shook his head to clear his mind, he to had stay positive

"Focus... If only it were that easy! My ears hear what he says, my eyes see his expression. Do I have to do something more? What other senses do I have!?--"

just then, ..his braclete started to act up, apollo stared down at it

"W-What's this...? My bracelet...?"

it did it again, apollo almost fell back in shock

"What's going on? My bracelet feels different somehow...!"

trucy saw his reaction, and knew what was happening

'Daddy was right! You can see it, can't you, Apollo? You're almost there! Find the weak spot in his testimony!'

"I know this sounds crazy... But my bracelet is trying to tell me something!"

apollo tried his best to listen to what his bracelet was trying to tell him, when he read over the testimony in his notebook, he had a feeling about pressing him when he called the police

'So, you called immediately after witnessing the murder?'

he asked

'The police undoubtedly have a record of the call. Why not check with them?'

trucy examined him closely with her own eyes

'Wait, Apollo! This has to be it!'

'Wait, you mean his habit?'

'Don't forget, Apollo! When he isn't sure about something, he has a habit of fiddling with his book!'

he nodded at her

"The only time he even had the book open was here... Which means this is the place to look for this "habit"!"

' I... don't know how I know, but I know'

'...Know what?'

he raised up his arm a bit, looking down at his bracelet

'It's my bracelet, it's different, somehow. I can feel it reacting to something about the witness!'

she looked down at it as well

'Your... bracelet?'

'I'm not sure I get this "focus" stuff you were talking about, Trucy. But... I have a feeling that trusting my bracelet is the way to go'

"OK, I just need to touch my bracelet as it reacts to the testimony..."

he took in a deep breathe, and touched his bracelet
