Erika physically pulls your arm and has you sit down in a chair. "Leila! Are you okay?? Talk to me!"
"What? Oh. Yeah I'm sorry, it's been a weird day. I kinda zoned out for a second but I'm okay, I swear."
"Are you going to be okay for the hearing?"
Oh. That's right, you're going with her to take notes.
"Yeah! Of course." You say, willing Looking Glass to vanish for now.
"Okay. It's a sentencing hearing, there's no reason the judge should go too hard on the client for just a drunken bar brawl..." she mutters as she gets up and starts shoving papers into a briefcase.
You get your notepad and pen ready and follow her out to her car.
A short drive later, you find yourselves in a modest justice courtroom, with your client being escorted to his seat. Something feels strange.
Your client's face looks different than last you saw it. He seems like he's furious and there's new scars. One of his eyes is milky white. He looks like a Bond villain.
The prosecutor is clearly trying to suppress laughter as the judge walks in the room. The judge's eyebrows raise as he sees your client's face.
And then you spot a creature on the Prosecutor's shoulder. It resembles a strange child with a pair of umbrellas.
The prosecutor has an Anima! He's using it to make your client look like some kind of supervillain.
He hasn't noticed you at all, though. The hearing begins in two minutes. What are you going to do? What can you do?
