My name's Apollo Justice, and I don't think I'll ever be fine again.

Just when the sunlight thought it would attempt to creep in, it's been shut out again. I haven't been able to see it, feel it, or believe in it since the stars fell from the sky, but now I can't even hope to find it ever again. At first I thought the world shut me out, but every time I catch my reflection, the truth hits me like the Judge's hammer. I've shut myself away from it, and now there's no hope of the lock ever coming off.

You probably don't know too much about me. I'm the guy Phoenix Wright picked up off the street. The two-bit attorney that almost had the new girl thrown in prison, for a crime she didn't commit. What crime was that, I hear you asking? Well, you'll be thrilled to know that I accused her of killing the better half of me. My best friend. My brother. The only person responsible for getting me out of bed every morning. You know, the reason I'm here now. No one special.

Now I'm the attorney defending the center of his universe. A friend of mine that means more to me than the damn air running through my body. Someone that's been slipping deeper and deeper into their own darkness. I've been as blind as the Judge so you know I've haven't been doing that great of a job with pulling him from the muck.

Now he's lost. And he needs someone to bring him back home.

It all happened so fast. One second, Trucy invited Prosecutor Gavin to lunch, the next she had me on the phone, crying. I remember it like it was just a second ago. She was crying, reaching out to me, telling me 'Polly, Klavier's been arrested'. I could barely make out what she was saying, but luckily I held onto enough of my sanity to remain afloat. After all-

I had already failed Clay. He was enough.

I ripped myself away from my desk, Trucy's words ringing in my ears louder than Taka's shriek. Traffic was pretty heavy, but before I knew it, I found myself in the detention center. Shouting louder than I had ever shouted before. Making my way through the crowds, calling his name, letting him know I was there. Ready to fight for him.

I missed the chance to pull him out of the darkness before, during our trial against his brother, but I wasn't about to pass up another chance to rescue him.

Maybe I'll take you back to where it all began. Not too far back-just far enough to where you'll be able to join me at the edge of the universe.
