'I have no memory of the "light", I debuted in a world of darkness and sound..., My producer came up with my PR line before he knew this, So, silly as it may sound, I had to pretend I could see, Everyone on my staff knew, of course, but no others'

everyone in the courtroom went silent until the judge pointed out the obvious

'But... this is a murder trial!'

the judge cried out, lamiroir frowned underneath her mask

'I apologize. It was part of my contract, you see. I was to keep my blindness a secret, no matter what. Music is everything for me. I never imagined something like this would...'

she said, klaveir then chimed in

'She told us the truth in the beginning. When she said she "saw nothing"'

the judge nodded then looked over at apollo

'Very well. Does the defense have anything to add?'

Apollo thought for a very long moment before deciding

'...... I'd like to cross-examine'

trucy looked at him with unsure eyes

'But, what is there left to ask!?'

apollo honesty wasn't sure, but he had a hunch, he would just have to bluff and hope for the best

'There was one thing in her testimony that bothered me

he said, Klavier raised a brow at him

'Perhaps it is best we let you get it out of your system. Someday you'll come to understand... ...the importance of thinking for yourself'

he said, apollo shot him a glare, but before he could even think of anything back to say, the judge banged down his gavel

'Very well. The defense may proceed. However... Be aware this court will not tolerate any questions deemed too stressful to the witness'

apollo took in a deep breathe and nodded

'...OK'

 "There was only one part that bothered me... Just let me ask about that and I'll be happy"

apollo looked back down at the testimony written out before him, all or nothing

'When you say your staff, do you include Mr. LeTouse?'

he asked, lamiroir nodded

'Of course. He was my manager'

"So he knew... and that's what's been bugging me!"

Judge noticed apollo's frowned and asked

'Something the matter, Mr. Justice?'

before apollo could respond with his usual "I'm fine", Klavier chimed in

'I believe I know what is bothering our young defense attorney. ...You are thinking of when you discovered the body, yes?'

he guessed, trucy looked up at him

'Is he right, Apollo?'

he nodded

'...Yes, I was, Mr. LeTouse told me to ask the witness, and he named you'

he said as he stated into lamiroir blind eyes

'Why would he do that? He knew you were blind!'

she frowned as she looked off to the side

'I... I don't know...'

klavier shook his head in dismay 

'Tsk, tsk, What did I just say? You need to learn to think for yourself'
