Klaviers brother stood once again in the courtroom, klavier was heartbroken, how could he do what he was supposed to. The trial room was surprisingly empty, Klavier prefers it that way, no one can see his apparent “break down”.
Normally Klavier would play music, let it echo through the court room, but today he had forgone it, it felt wrong, after the poisoning of a 19-year-old girl. He even decided to not air guitar in the courtroom to emphasize a point, he was oozing in self-control. He must admit he has hit the wood panelling that normally held back the packs of people watching the court, or his fans; sometimes they would sing the lyrics to “13 hard time for love” (the gavinners debut single).
Now in the quiet courtroom, void of fans begging for him to play “guilty love”, he's conflicted on what to do. He looks up at Apollo Justice, he stares for a while, in silence, almost as if thinking if he scrutinized Apollos forehead for long enough, he may find the best move to make. The judge looks at him, so does his brother, he ignores them. Instead, he focuses on Apollo, they’ve worked against each other for so long, he was used to idolized by women all the time on stage, but he was his first time feeling this way with a man.
The judge prepares his gavel, monologing about how this is the end, how the verdict is about to be called, how he will win the case. “Achtung baby!” he hears himself call out, Apollo is looking at him, with his stupid hair. “Are you sure that's the end, are sure you don't have proof, sure you dont have evidence? There are questions I still wanted answered that you must uncover herr forehead. I’m tired of my whole youthful angst scene, I wish for your help to clean out skeletons in the family closet”.
My brother says some lines, about my fame, my job, he doesn’t hear him. “Prosecutor Gavin! Try to remember... ...what's really important to you!”. He looks at Apollo, takes a deep breath and says “You amuse me, Herr Forehead. I couldn't forget what's really important to me, even if I tried.”
Apollo looks at him, “do you mean what I think you mean?” his cords of steel quiet, more akin to a whisper. Klavier responds, as confident as ever “Ja baby”.
Klavier jumps over the prosecutor bench, Apollo jumps the defence bench, they meet in the middle of the court, in-between the witness stand and judge. They start to kiss passionately, a coming together over lovers. The judge stands and starts to applaud, he is followed by Trucy and the witnesses who were on the stand earlier, everyone is cheering.
Away in an unknown location, Unexpected protagonist Phoenix Wright and the jurist are clapping, and cheering two, after seeing the two attorneys face in other in court they knew this moment was inevitable, the way the two acted together made this moment almost set in stone. The jurist start to hug each other in joy, Phoniex takes off his stupid hat to celebrate.
The people watching the case all across Japanforina start to cheer two. The balifs outside the courtroom, peek their head in to see magic being made. Emma Skye stops eating snakroos for a second to cheer on her boss, Klavier, as well as apollo, who she had been illegally giving information too.
Klavier and Apollo finally stop kissing, and to celebrate the moment, Klavier lets himself air guitar.
