Y/N p.o.v

"Woah!!! Miss Y/N lawer friend!!!
You look so cool!!!"
Peal jumped up and down.

"Thanks! Hehe!"
I giggled and fixed her hair that got messy from the jumping.

I dressed up a little more formal than usual.
White shirt with a black skirt, suspenders and a tie.
I also wore a black leather jacket and boots.

"You look like you are ready to fight!"
Maya struck a pose, Peal following her lead.

Phoenix adjusted his tie.
"Are you ready to be on the other side of the courtroom?"

"I hope. I also have to find a way not to react to any of your bluffs."
I laughed.
Phoenix laughed awkwardly.
"R-Right... hehe..."

"...Anyways, Pearls and I will sit at the jury right above you!"
Maya announced.

"So what will Ms. Y/N do?
I know that she does this cool
thing with the coffee but Mr. Nick
doesn't drink coffee..."
Pearl tried to think.

"Well, Peal, if you remember, Y/N can also help me with arguments! You've seen her do it with her lawer friend."
Phoenix explained.

"Ohh!! Right!! I almost forgot, hehe."

Maya and Pearl waved us goodbye as they entered the courtroom before us.

I was deep in thoughts, and a little anxiety crippled in me.

If we fail today, we won't have another chance...

"Um, Y/N. Don't worry. We've got this."
Phoenix reassured me.

"Y-Yea..."
I mumbled.

"You know, it's kinda surprising that Peal had no objections of leaving us two here."

"What do you mean--- oh, right!
Doesn't she ship you and Maya?"
I was a little confused of why he mentioned it all the sudden.

"No matter how much we explain it to her, she still does it."
Phoenix sighed.

"Last time I spoke with a female witness, she punched the hell out of me! I actually fainted."

I couldn't help but giggle.

"I was actually scared she will punch me right now."

"Pfff- hahaha!!!
Well, luck for you, I have a boyfriend."

"And this fact saved me.
...
Now you can stop being such of a grumpy face because I did a hella good job with lighting up your mood."

"Yo, you actually managed to do that.
GG."
I put a smile on my face.

"So, the trial's about to begin.
I'm not sure who's the prosecutor, tho.

What matters is that this is going to be different. It's practically a negotiation between us and the prosecution with the police about Mr. Armando's fate.
He himself will have to testify about what happened, and we will try to free him, or at least reduce his sentence."

"Okay, got it."
I nodded and we went through the doors to defence stand.

I looked at Diego, sitting in the defendant's chair. His head was turned to the floor, as if he was staring at the floor.
Although he could only listen.

My heart ached.
Not even in my worst nightmares I could predict something like this happening.

I looked at whoever arrived in front of us.
"P-Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth...?"
