HC; 'Future Sight'. Heart. Possibility. Choice. The All-Encompassing.
There was a question that struck me at the start of Penacony's arc. In a land, a realm that served as groundwork reflections, but was entirely removed from the entirety of that world itself.
There, Caelus was asked a question that transcends any natural ground he once knew.
An answer should be simple. No. How in the hell could they? He's never seen this swordsman roaming around a rift within realities a day in his life. That should be that.
So why are these choices here? Why, to Caelus does it feel as if all of these are correct in terms that he's not only said these? But, they were all answers felt. These are all answers that someone like him would make, his choices.
What I want to dive in is a how the Future known as 'possibility' was glanced, scraped and perceived once upon a time for the both of them, and unknowingly, how it allowed them to step through the beyond to a nonsensical plane.
During Star Rail's beginning he made a gambit to save March's life through sacrifice. It was within that moment as Destruction itself began to dismantle him did he begin to see, feel, it was an obfuscated ground of divinity that led him before the All seeing gaze of Nanook.
The past and the future, for this fleeting moment of infinity it was witnessed through a monumental sea of static, faint glimpses discerned from Kafka aiding his revival to many pivotal moments within Belobog. All perceived, in its many, many possibilities.
Now this here is an ability that Caelus holds no genuine control over. It barely comes to him and that's the current order this ability firmly decides. Being within proximity of Nanook and re-experiencing (that's right) their gaze had allowed this. An oddity about Caelus is that he should've had no innate awakening again, why does this happen twice?
Nanook's second look was violently amplifying that potential.
It allowed him to glean these instances to come as a Stellaron existence, places and times where possibility could allow him to traverse. The 'Future' he sees in this scale are from HIS point of view (which added my personal fuel to their soul and existence being fused with the Stellaron.) It's an ability that finds itself only surfacing once the Stellaron power itself amplifies to a high output when it comes to terms of his own possibilities. Such things such as seeing Cocolia's history was merely due to a resonance with the hive.
So what about the other notes I wanted to draw upon? This leads back to what I believe is Caelus and Acheron meeting each other in the most base state one can be, their Hearts. They were existing as their totalities and the root of such existence, the strength of their emotions.
The conversation continues with them and even if Acheron upon the surface doesn't realize it, nor does Caelus, the conversation that transpires here plays by different rules.
Acheron's approach of perceiving the world through emotions removes the lens and paint of 'Memory' and leaves only the foundation of 'Emotion.'
How it leads to this--
A phenomenon that on the surface would be entirely confusing. If we're looking at it as someone who coasts across time's current, it should be. So how about in the perspective where time matters less. Instead, where the shining stars of possibilities exist accordingly to the sort of person you are at your core?
I believe that once she stepped into the realm of the Nihility, becoming it's Emanator, gaining access to the unified pool of shadows across all existence, it led to the roaming crimson thread known as Acheron to hold a part she may or may not be aware of externally. (This is still a question for me to contemplate!) However, within the core she made for her Heart, that awareness has expanded to an unknown scale.
Caelus's existence as one woven with the Stellaron is what led to that phenomenon within the Express, where his heart managed to get jostled and connect with her's, expanding into the dreamscape they'd come to soon interact in.
Even giving him distinct glimpses of the past via these means, the Memoria serving as an important catalyst for both these sights and the ground they step upon.
As one such example, the Memoria in this case printed what has and what has yet to come, a detail Acheron doesn't offer with this note.
I seen it as a culmination of the connections they made showing a presence, giving them glimpses to very real events they had nothing to do with.
So how do I perceive this place? In short, I believe they're on a plane that's closer to reaching The Finality, Terminus closer than most. It's a plane far off the mortal realm and disconnection from time's rules. It uses the catalyst of human hearts and their power to dream to serve as a gateway and why they roam here in such a state of existence.. For there is a reason why I think the Trailblazer never encountered it again by far, the right conditions simply can't be triggered again just yet.
Leading this over to the red text, taking it from the perspective of Acheron, these are what I picture as instances of truth within emotion they personally chose. The ocean of Possibility converges to these points, solidifies into the moments they'd come to take and experience above all else from all the examples of 'self' that can exist in possibility, the sort they find important at the core of the self.
For my last case and point? Look no further than this.
How it leads to-
The important part here being that description of this 'force' being a feeling.

My preconceptions of Ace Attorney before actually playing the games
[Based on the whole franchise rather than any individual games since I don't know what happens in what game specifically]
I only remember like 3 character names but it seems like everyone has the weirdest sounding names imaginable
Before checking if The Great Ace Attorney was on the switch, I thought it was a sequel series to Ace Attorney and that Apollo Justice was the protagonist but it turns out it takes place in the late 19th century so never mind on that
There’s something heartbreaking that happens just before Christmas even though this is meme by the fandom every year. I think someone important to the main cast dies or something
Refining my new take on Apollo Justice (since I was wrong about what The Great Ace Attorney was) is that he’s actually in the first series and he’s Phoenix Wright’s nephew (either biological, adopted, or a found family situation)
The magician girl is Phoenix’s adopted daughter and she’s bffs with Apollo Justice
There’s a racist vampire. I think he’s in TGAA but either this series is an urban fantasy or there just happens to be one vampire who’s there for some unknown reason and everyone rolls with it
Phoenix went to art school but discovered that his childhood friend Miles Edgeworth (whom he hasn’t seen in years) had enrolled in law school so he also goes to law school so he can catch up with him
There’s this one guy who has a huge mental breakdown from law school and he goes through major depression but his friends try to help him through it (I’m sorry I can’t be more specific I really don’t know any of these characters names, I just recognize him from angsty fan art my friend has drawn before)
This Tumblr post does a great job summarizing how I imagine Phoenix and Miles to be like during the trials https://pauladrawsnstuff.tumblr.com/post/720025716031356928/audio-from-themornal
This is less of a preconception and more of a wish. But, like in danganronpa v3, I really hope that there’s an option to lie in court cause that’d be so funny. Let phoenix have a little perjury as a treat
There’s straight up a dude named Herlock Sholmes. I really wish he was the protagonist of one of the games but I know he's a side character more than anything
It turns out that there is a trilogy for Apollo Justice so I was super wrong about him showing up in the ace attorney trilogy (I guess I have no idea who Apollo is in this franchise)
Apollo is somehow going to be the most normal protagonist not because he's actually normal but because everyone else is so much more ridiculously eccentric and weird
Oh my God is there a sentient magical hat named Mr hat??? Out of everything I most want this to be true. I'm begging (but for real is ace attorney an urban fantasy?? I thought this was about a normal ass lawyer??)
Omg one of the characters does the ghost trick death pose and I can't wait to learn these characters names cause I super don't know
There's some sort of martial artist who's part of the cast and I think hes quick to square up with people, like he has a super short temper except around his friends
Ace Attorney games 5 and 6 are straight up bad it turns out (I'm hoping these aren't part of the Apollo justice trilogy cause he looks like such a neat guy and he deserves everything good in the world)
Phoenix canonically calls Edgeworth "daddy" (this isn't a preconception, my friend straight up told me and this convinced me even more to play the games)
I know ace attorney predates ghost trick and danganronpa but I bet there's gonna be some of the most complex murder schemes known to mankind that'll be uncovered in the trials like the two games I mentioned (I have heard danganronpa described as ace attorney meets battle royale so I'm super stoked about the mystery investigation sections of aa)
I don't know how much later the Apollo justice trilogy takes place from the aa trilogy but phoenix is gonna pretend that he's not really phoenix and there's gonna be some big plot twist where reveals himself and he tells Apollo how proud he is of him to solve a near impossible case
