so there's a lot of uncertainty and debate on when phoenix actually started suspecting kristoph, if he ever trusted him, etc. and like I do get it. phoenix used to be a hell of a trusting guy, that's so real.

but he also constantly carries around a magic rock that detects lies, and I have to believe that the first time kristoph said smth about how he's so sorry this all happened, like 27 psychelocks slammed down

#ace attorney #aa #phoenix wright #aj aa #kristoph gavin #i know Phoenix is super trusting #and he wants to believe in people #but guys i really cannot fathom a reality where kristoph wouldn't constantly have psychelocks up #maybe not black from the start i could see that coming later #but liiiiiiiiiiiiike #Phoenix is a p smart dude with a literal magic rock #i think he was suspicious from very very early on #esp given how hard he went with valant and drew #bro was like i have a magatama no i will not be explaining #i am breaking the locks on your soul quit whining #no shot kristoph didn't have locks there's just no way in hell #and probably they did pop up for the first time over smth that should've been innocuous #which would be a pretty good reason for phoenix to not immediately chase down the answers #and tbh i think that would make him even more prone to bitterness #knowing it's the smart move to keep kristoph closeish and be friendly #but never to actively pry or get answers #that would drive my man phoenix to the BRINK
