Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Alita Nervous Habit"

'I did go to the clinic that day. My first time in half a year, since I quit in January, I went to warn him. After all, I knew Wocky had the pistol, The doctor always was a timid man... too timid to admit his own mistake, Why else would I have gone? I'm not hiding any dark secrets, I wanted to tell him to be careful, as an old friend'

apollo ignored the pain of his hand cramping as he continued to write with intense focus, just barely missing the judges voice

'By "mistake", you mean... ...the mistake we heard about from the defendant? The botched operation?'

he asked, alita put a hand on her waist, grinning up like a sinister-mastermind

'He was a timid, small man... but I never wished him harm. I just thought I should let him know, you know?'

'Hmm... That does make sense'

the judge had to agree, klavier snapped his fingers in his usual rhythm like motion

'Yes, but there is still one thing which does not'

he said, apollo had just finished up writing when he spoke up

'What's that, Prosecutor Gavin?'

the judge asked

'The sandals left in the lobby, of course. We can assume she wore these sandals to the clinic, ja? Then why did she not wear them home? If it were me, I would have worn them home'

'I would have worn those sandals home, too'

the judge admitted

'So, why were the sandals left behind?'

he asked her, alita stood in her spot with silence, apollo couldn't help but feel a bit envious and moody

"Ack! He pointed out the contradiction before me!, and in front of my own boss!!"

he hoped mr wright would just miss this part, when klavier didn't get a response back, he simply shrugged

'...There's probably a good explanation for this. Right, Ms. Tiala? ...Say, for instance... There happened to be a similar pair of sandals there which you wore home by mistake?'

Alita puy her head on her hand, then crossed her arms and smiled a little

'... Actually, that's right. I'm impressed, Mr. Gavin'

he shrugged again

'Oh, it is nothing. There is, after all, no other possible explanation. Ja, Forehead?'

he asked, leaning as he raised a brow, apollo couldn't help but blush a tint red and stammer in his spot, he hated whenever klavier did that, and gave him a semi-glare to show his frustration

"Oh, what the...! No fair! He's filling the holes in her testimony..."

apollo wasn't sure why he was feeling like this, but it didn't matter, he pushed aside those feelings as the judge banged down his gavel

'The defense may begin the cross-examination'

apollo nodded as he read over the testimony on his notebook, it was a harder to find a contradiction then last time, he took out the medical records again, and read them over, then looked up at alita

'This chart was found inside a safe in the doctor's office'

'...Yes?'

'Why would this one chart be in that safe? Ms. Tiala, you know why it was, don't you?'

he grinned a little when she saw the little nervous expression playing at her face, the judge looked down at the defense confused

'Mind filling me in?'
