I can't get over that drama CD! They sang a duet of a song all about Klavier leaving his old life and dalliances behind to seek the truth with Apollo? The part that mentions Herr Forehead is Apollo's favorite part? Apollo says he's never felt this way before and his opinion of the music flips because it reminds him of their passionate courtroom battles? Klavier says he never expected to win his heart and calls him "Apollo" finally? I never expected such softness and honesty... a de facto couple
(this is about the Ace Attorney drama CD Gavinners Reunion Concert, if you haven't heard it yet it's fantastic, search for it on YouTube)
IT FEELS LIKE SUCH A FEVER DREAM. I'll admit I just put it on to listen to every once in a while because it makes me smile, it's such silly fun ♥️
I LOVE Apollo realizing the way he's hearing the music has changed because that's totally happened to me, there'll be a song that I just don't get until I hear it in a different context, and now it reminds me of a friend or something and I love it. That's so real.
The duet K+A do also leads me to thinking of a scenario where Klavier encourages Apollo to collaborate with him, and that's how we get the version of Apollo's theme with lyrics. With Klavier doing his solos in the bg. (And that would in-universe tie their songs together, since Guilty Love ends with the A New Chapter of Trials riff.)
Other things unrelated to Klapollo: I like the small moment where Klavier is sort of hesitant to greet Phoenix like he's worried, but Phoenix just congratulates him and they move past it. That's nice, to actually have some acknowledgement of the potential awkward tension between them.
Phoenix: You need to turn your thinking around! 😎
Phoenix: 😎 .........no idea!
Apollo: 😑 ok so you're just full of it
Makes me laugh every time.
