A short figure immediately crashed into Apollo, sending him stumbling backward. They were muttering apologies, as they did so too.

"May I help you...?" Apollo asked with uncertainty, unsure if he should help the person, or leave them be for now.

"This is all my fault, all of it, I'm so, so sorry." It had turned out to be the girl from earlier, she had ended up coming back, just at an inopportune time.

Apollo sighed his foot tapping in annoyance, "I understand this is important, but I really need to be somewhere right now, so I'd appreciate if we could do this at a later time-"

"Polly," Trucy interrupted him,"What if she has something important to say about the whole situation here? We can always see Klavier later, ya know.

Trucy was right, irritatingly so. He beckoned the girl to a seat and took the seat across from her. The girl looked away and began to speak, "I-I knew that this would happen, I knew that someone would be blamed for the deaths, I just, I didn't come in time! I just-"

Apollo rested his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her that way what she was saying could come out more coherently, "Relax, take a deep breath and just explain to us what's bothering you."

She visibly relaxed (even if it was just a little bit) and spoke slowly, "I'm one of the only people who knows the details about the murders, at least I'm probably the only one who'll talk. I knew that someone would've gotten blamed, but I was too scared to speak up about what's happening, and now look where it got Klavier."

Apollo frowned slightly when she had mentioned Klavier's name. There were a bunch of questions that were begging to be answered, but he knew that he had to wait. On the plus side, his bracelet hadn't tightened, which was great, because people aren't normally truthful in bad situations this. "First, why did you come to us out of all people. I'm sure the police would've gladly helped you out."

The girl bit her lip for a second, and then answered, "I planned to go to the police first, to help clear things up, it's just that everything has gotten out of hand, and I was scared that if I went to them, the whole mess would've blown completely out of proportion, I mean, more than it already is of course."

Apollo's bracelet had tightened, making it aware that she was holding something back. He didn't push her further because that could come much later when he wasn't focused on something, rather someone else. "So, what's your point? What are you trying to accomplish here..?"

"I want to help you, Mister Justice. You want to prove Klavier's innocence, right? Well, if the police can't find anything, I doubt you could by yourself, so I feel like I should help you find the real killer if that's okay with you."

There was something very off about this whole exchange. It was justified to be suspicious in this whole situation but part of him wanted to just trust her. She had made a good point, though, and he would need all the help he could get. He nodded, "Alright then," he sat up, "You'll tell us everything you know?"

"Yeah, but, I'll tell you when and where I can talk to you, alright? It's just I-I'm busy, with work and stuff, so I won't always have the time to talk."

His bracelet had tightened once again, and he frowned, partially wanting to question her further, but he knew he had other things to do, and time was ticking. Trucy nudged him slightly, and he looked over. "You know, you never asked for her name, and I'm pretty sure that's important too," she said.

"Oh, yeah!" Apollo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "What's your name, anyway?"

"Doe Arduino. It was a pleasure to meet you, and I understand you have something else to do, right?"

"Right! I guess I'll see you later?"

Doe gets up and nods, walking out the door and Trucy smiles, waving, at her retreating figure,"Bye-Bye! We'll see you later!" she said.

Doe felt tears streaming down her face as she left.

Apollo tried his best to force a smile despite the situation. The smile wasn't for him, it was for Klavier, who needed to muster up even more hope then he himself did. It was all going to be okay, he just had to prove his innocence, and he would be free, and everything would go back to normal.

As he walked over to the visitor's room, he thought of what he was going to say to him, to comfort him, to reassure him. He just hoped he was taking this whole thing well, and that he would just hold on. He must be miserable right now, he thought.

When he first saw him, he gasped quietly in surprise. Klavier looked like he had aged 10 years in the couple of hours he had been there. Despite looking like a wreck, he still had a weak smile on his face. He sat down in front of him and calmed himself. He felt like punching the wall right about now, and he wasn't even the one in jail. The least he could do is try to compose himself.

"So, how's it holding up in there?" Apollo asked, and then mentally scolded himself. It was quite obvious he was drained and somewhat depressed at the moment, but yet his idiot brain had decided to ask that anyway. Real smooth Apollo.

Klavier however, seemed to be unaffected by that question, which Apollo was quite grateful for. "Despite the circumstances, I suppose I could be worse, Apollo."

He shuddered slightly at the use of his name, which Klavier almost never called him by. "I'm defending you, Klavier. It's going to be alright, we're going to get you out of here."

Klavier smiled, "I believe you, don't worry Apollo. You're my first visitor, you know that?"

"I would've come sooner, but the girl came back last moment. It turns out she does know something about the murders, so there's that going for us."

"I appreciate the effort no matter what," his breath hitched slightly and he looked away, "Apollo, you've always been there for me when I needed someone, even when there was no one else to be there. Thank you."

Apollo didn't know what to say because all he wanted to do right now is give Klavier a hug, and tell him that he didn't deserve any of the crap that was coming his way. All he had said, though, was, "It's only the right thing to do, you deserve better than this."

Klavier straightened up, wiping his eyes with his hand, "Forgive me for that, I didn't mean to get all emotional on you."

"It's alright Klavier, you can do that any time you need to," he started to get up and sighed. He needed to go, he couldn't stay there all day, but yet he wanted to because he needed him more than ever. Apollo shook the thought away, "I guess I'll see you soon Klavier. I promise that I'll try to visit every day."

Klavier smiled, and waved, "Goodbye Herr Forehead, I'll see you later."

Apollo at least felt slightly better, if he was stable enough to go and call him that annoying pet name, he was going to be fine, right? "I'll see you soon Klavier," he said, lingering for a couple seconds before walking away.

As soon as he heard the door close, Klavier wept.
