Anyone else imagine the teen years were tough for Buttercup?

After finishing Turnabout Succession last night, one of the things I just can't get over is the way Klavier looked across the courtroom, saw Apollo standing there, calm and composed while Klavier was falling into hysterics, and Klavier asked Apollo point-blank to rip off the bandaid, to prove that Kristoph was the one behind it all, who gave the Vera the nail polish, gave Drew the poisoned stamp, commissioned the forged diary page. And then! After Apollo does everything short of provided hard, decisive evidence! Klavier looks at Kristoph and he starts, as he puts it, cleaning out the family closet.

Klavier starts explaining the ways in which Kristoph manipulated that trial, Zak Gramarye's trial, and he declares in front of his brother, the Judge, and the jury, that Kristoph told Klavier about the forged evidence, that Kristoph was the one Klavier was supposed to face in court that day, and when he finishes. It's quiet. And we get a new sprite for Klavier, and he's looking up at the ceiling, back straight, chin up, for the first time! For the first time in four cases, we see Klavier without that weight on his shoulders, dragging him down, shoulders hunched and head hung low.

It's over. And Klavier is free of a burden he's carried far longer than seven years. It's one he's carried his whole life.

Klavier and Apollo are both squirming out from under the thumb of an abuser, and they do it together. They help each other through it. As soon as this is over, it's Apollo's turn to sweat. Kristoph looks at Apollo and says Vera's poisoning is because of him! Apollo pressed Vera too hard. That's why she was biting her nails in the first place. Is Apollo then not just as guilty as Kristoph, if Kristoph is guilty at all? And Kristoph says, not in so many words, don't you see that you cannot prove it? There is no decisive evidence. And Klavier pulls them out. This trial is being decided by a jury, not a judge, and what matters is that the people are convinced, decisive evidence or no.

And you, the player, get to decide. Guilty, or not guilty? Did Vera Misham kill her father? Or was she as much a victim as he? And you have to move your cursor twice. You select your choice. Then you have to confirm. The weight of it hits you.

Vera is not guilty. You decided that. You looked into the eyes of the most despicable character in the franchise this far, and you decided that evidence it not, in fact, everything. The law is not absolute. The law, meant to govern the people, is derived from the people, and by declaring Vera Misham Not Guilty, you assert that Kristoph Gavin undeniably is.

It's catharsis, not only for the player, but for Klavier, for Apollo, for Phoenix, for Thalassa Gramarye, for Trucy, and for the legal system at large. This is the start of a new age, and you're ringing it in not with thunderous applause and confetti, but with silent relief.

I need Queen and Tenna to interact she could teach him about the internet and how to use new technology I think

Deltarune meets Ace Attorney

Also I don't think Eustace and Berdly are actually that similar. Hugh would be a better fit for Berdly and even then they are different Characters.But in the End I still Drew this

if you keep re-equipping ralsei with the Blue Ribbon he has a bunch of additional flavour text

Dear Maya,

Congrates and that's very sweet of you.

Dear Son Goku,

I’ll take the logical battle, if you don’t mind.

My opening argument is that you have nothing to prove by beating me or my bluffs into a pulp. You win. The defense rests. Please?
