Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Drew Vs Phoenix"

before phoenix could grill him with questions and the forge evidence, he wanted to look around first, in the room he found a very tiny picture frame

'That's small frame, What's that inside it? A stamp?'

he muttered to himself as he picked it up, drew rushed over immediately 

'Ah, please don't touch that. I'll get in trouble'

Phoenix raised a brow at him

'That stamp belongs to Vera, you see. She always puts it somewhere she can see it'

he explained, Phoenix examined more of the frame, he squinted his eyes to see it more clearly 

'That's "Zak & Valant" the Gramaryes...'

'The post office issued that commemorative stamp last year. When the Gramaryes were at the height of their popularity, Vera went to see one of their shows when she was quite small. She's been a dedicated fan ever since. She watched them every time they came on TV... until the end'

Phoenix nodded

'That stamp's quite hard to come by, I hear. ...I still wonder how she got her hands on it'

phoenix took a picture of the tiny frame with his phone as he looked around the place, and then fixed drew with a look

'Judging from this place... you're a painter?'

Drew sighed sadly

'Not, sadly, a profitable one. I've never sold a painting. It's a source of considerable embarrassment. I would be able to get by, were it only me...'

he muttered sadly

'Her mother... grew weary of me and left. I don't want her to grow up needy, Mr. Wright. That is why... I began my other occupation'

"Forgeries..."

he thought mentally to himself, he gazed into drew eyes, giving him an unimpressed look, drew shuddered underneath those eyes

'...Don't look at me with those eyes. I know what it is that I do. More than half of the paintings they bring me are stolen. And who knows what my copies are used for...'

'But some of your "works" aren't paintings?

'You may not believe me when I tell you this... ...but that was my first work outside painting'

Phoenix stared at him as he took out his notepad, his expression said it all "explain right fucking now"

'...To think it would be used as evidence in a murder trial... I never even imagined the possibility'

'Then why the fuck did you take the job!?'

'I was... well paid. Very well paid'

he said with so much shame and self-hatred, honestly, phoenix couldn't be too upset, at the end of the day, he was doing this to support his daughter, he had to steal groceries to get buy, but at the end of the day, he helped in ruining an innocent man life

'Honestly, the sooner I can put this behind me, the better. With apologies to you, of course'

'it's not going to be so easy'

"He's trying to forget what he made, fine, I'll just remind him"

phoenix took out the paper, drew flinched at seeing it

'Don't even try to fucking pretend you've forgotten

Drew said nothing as phoenix laid into him

'all you did was make a "copy", but that "copy" ruined the life of an innocent man,a poppet, Which is why I have to know. And you have to tell me'
