#and once we step past the trilogy. when the feys have all found their own thing and phoenix is alone

[gyrabanias]

the one w the mirror black psyche lock reminds me of a fic I read where nick used the magatama on himself like that and it's such a FUN idea

#kris and athenas black locks are 100% Different but like. eats all of it i like both #the magatama is just. really fun #i dont think nick always carries it on him BY ANY MEANS #but it makes me so happy that the thi g that ''levels'' the playing field for phoenix is the feys #like apollo/trucy/athena all have their things but nicks greatest weapon (besides like. himself.) is always the feys at his back #and once we step past the trilogy. when the feys have all found their own thing and phoenix is alone #we never see evidence of the magatama until the very very end and SHAKES MY BARS #what im rotating in my brain rn is the line after nick is acquitted and he says kris was a man of great importance for him #legally and as a friend #personally i dont think phoenix Knew it was kris for at least a good year or two. #bc theres points in turnabout trump where it still almost feels like nick is TRYING to believe it's not kris. like during the phone call #and it brings up the question of if he ever used the magatama before the end. or if kristoph managed not to trigger it the ENTIRE TIME #AND ONLY THEN DID IT RESPOND #keeps me up at night #it's all circumstantial so we can sit here all day and consider different avenues. i love 7yr gap. best sandbox on earth #jillian talks sometimes #i also like the idea of him and edgeworth chucking it back and forth at each other both for stupid shit #and stuff that makes me want to cry for 18 days straight #but i think nicks amazing with tells now bc of trucy and poker. so he only brings it out when he really needs it #nick poking edgeworth's face bc all his tells are tiny facial movements and biting the inside of his mouth
