Van Zieks visiting Iris (and enduring a recital)

do you ever really sit down and think about nahyuta sahdmadhi during turnabout revolution. you are being forced to go up against your estranged brother in court (AGAIN) to prosecute your own father to death. your brother eventually names your sister's nanny as the minister's killer, who actually turns out to be your mother (you have been living alongside your mother for five years and you never knew it). you then have to keep going with the case, knowing that if your brother is right about his accusation, you will have prosecuted your own mother to death just as you would've your father. suddenly, your brother reveals that your father is dead, has been dead this whole time, and you can't react at all because your dictator of an aunt is standing directly beside you and sympathizing with a rebel could spell disaster for your sister. your mother is then shot directly in front of you and given a fifty-fifty chance of survival. your aunt then pulls you aside, hangs your sister's life over your head for the millionth time, and forces you to falsely confess to being a murderer. you go through with it. your brother refuses to accept this. he uncovers the truth—that your aunt was the one who started the palace fire, who killed his biological father, who tore your family apart. he inspires you, the way that he is more like your shared father than you ever were, and you throw all caution to the wind and announce your desire to carry on his legacy alongside him. this eventually leads to your aunt attempting to hang YOUR life over your brother's head in the same way she hangs your sister's over yours. you were already willing to die, so it's not like this really matters (to you). you tell him to accuse her. your aunt then abandons all pretense of playing along, labels him a terrorist and a number of guns are suddenly being pointed at him (and one is pointed at you, but you were going to sacrifice yourself anyway so what does it even matter). he keeps attempting to mouth off until you have to resort to begging him to shut the hell up because you JUST saw one family member shot in front of you and you don't know what you're going to fucking do if it happens again. your sister's life is still being threatened. you don't know if your mother survived. your father has been dead this whole time. the only hope you have is your brother smiling despite staring down the ass ends of multiple guns. at the end of the line, you put your faith in him. he saves you just like you always hoped your father would've. after everything is said and done, he offers you your father's old badge on the basis of you being his birth son. you refuse it.

happy new years!!

[ID: digital art of ryunosuke naruhodo and ryutaro naruhodo, from the great ace attorney. they put their arms around each other and smile. ryunosuke says "im ryunosuke!" and ryutaro says "and I'm ryutaro!" the bottom reads, "the dragon brothers", in chunky blue text. they are outlined several times in thick blue lines.

the next drawing is of ryunosuke as a ghost, who confidently declares "2024 will be my year!!!", with stars in his eyes. susato replies, offscreen, "Mister naruhodo, we've been dead for like 70 years..."/End ID.]
