You're telling me these attorneys are ace?

The judge keeps forgetting she's the one and trial and gives her tips.

She has either Trucy or Pearl as her assistant.

Athena lead, obviously

Trucy is back as primary weirdgirl

The explanation for the mood matrix tutorial that will inevitably occur is that widget breaks and Athena has to learn to hear emotions without an aid. Trucy is a great assistant for this because she has perceive but doesn't have a bracelet to aid her. Athena closes her eyes and sees the mood matrix in her mind.

Wright is mysteriously absent. Athena is incredibly vague about it à la Edgeworth in JFA. Thinks things like "(if only Mr. Wright was still here with us...)" When someone asks Trucy says things like "Daddy's in a better place now". Then in the last case he shows up in a Hawaiian shirt and it's revealed he's just been on honeymoon. Athena was vague on accident but Trucy was doing it on purpose because she thought it was funny.

Kay is the new primary detective. She and Trucy get along so well.

Kitaki family bakery is the scene of a crime and/or relevant to a case. Athena is blissfully unaware that the Kitaki's are former gangsters. Trucy is unwilling to communicate this to Athena because she thinks its funny.

Klavier finally gets to be defendant. His case involves a witness who's a Klavier Gavin fangirl. Her name is Arpie Effe and her hair is a loose approximation of the drill. She is live-blogging the whole case and her phone never leaves her hands. In her shocked animation she goes completely still while her phone buzzes wildly in her hands. I'm imagining Athena uses the mood matrix and is like hey why were you happy at this part of your testimony and the fangirl timidly explains there was evidence towards proving klapollo was real.

Iris is released from prison and is around for a case. Maybe pearl visits with her idk

If a court lady won’t let her, most—if not all—of the top concubines at a given moment would have her back

If the concubines don’t have jurisdiction she just has to think about the concept of family dinner in the vicinity of her bio dad and he’ll abuse his major political power to fit her whims

If it’s beyond his political maneuvering she could link pinkies with the crown prince and he’d beg to move mountains for her
