As you've grown up, you've slowly drifted apart from the childhood friend who got you your first case as an attorney because hes slowly become a worse and worse friend over the years. You don't think about it much anymore but you've changed and he hasn't so you just don't see each other much anymore.

Then, your best friend gets you to go on this dumb vacation (one that will become one of the hardest cases of your life) and suddenly your childhood friend is back for the first time in months and now he is parading around calling himself an artist. He'd never done art before, so its a weird choice of career, especially since he never seemed like the creative type. What your years as an art major has taught you is he has potential but currently sucks ass. Luckily, this isn't something you would be prone to get jealous over.

Anyway its all still annoying as fuck (because he's annoying as fuck) but then after shit goes down and you're hospitalised for a day or two (long story), the previously mentioned case begins. When you are finally well enough to try and return to the case you look back at the files of what your other childhood friend has achieved on your behalf in your absence. You find that the "artist" friend took the stand and his testimony is riddled with bullshit.

... But something about it hurts. You don't think about it much until you realise how love-struck he is, over this girl that looks so similar to your murderous ex girlfriend in college too (even longer story). And then it hits your dazed flu addled brain that of course the emotional artist, head over heals for a beautiful girl with a serene smile would hurt deeper than you could ever imagine.

That was you. Before all this.
