from one of the tweets in this post by @kilometresrufflefuck that I just HAD to draw because it got stuck in my brain :) when the Dark Age of the Law is over, the defence and prosecution are supposedly meant to be working together to find the truth, right? so why can't Pheonix "phone a friend (husband)" mid trial if he gets stuck???

Simon becoming a twisted, cold, violent monster to survive his incarceration long enough to chase the Phantom & to push Athena away, sparing her the grief of losing his actual kind-hearted self.

Athena becoming an outgoing, peppy, studious woman to survive living in the outside world & to get closer to Simon, enduring every struggle to ensure she doesn't lose him because she was too meek.

"Has the defence done the dishes, which he's been promising to do all week?"

Gumshoe how I miss you.... 💔
