Disclaimer: I do not own, nor am I affiliated with Ace Attorney or Capcom. This story is just for fun.
A/N: This finale is embarrassingly short, but I really wanted this scene featured in the story, and this was how I was planning to end it when I first started this emotional roller coaster. I left room for a sequel, if I do decide to do one. I hope you all enjoyed this, and I hope you all have happy holidays!
Friday, February 7th – 12:59 p.m.
Los Angeles Prison
Ema beamed towards the double doors of the large prison. Her eleven year wait was over.
Klavier leaned against his car and looked towards the sky in deep thoughts; snowflakes fell elegantly from the gray clouds and onto the ground, beginning to accumulate to the surfaces. Regardless of the upcoming weather hazards, it was a good day.
Crossing his legs, he watched Ema begin to jump and sob before running as fast as her legs could carry her to the gate, where Lana had emerged. He watched the two sisters take each other into a bone crushing hug. His beautiful Fraulein was finally happy, and their own nightmare, too, was over. Though he shared the elation of their reunion, he ached with envy for the first time. Klavier would never experience this joy with his own brother. Of his immediate family, he was the only one left. He scoffed towards the sky in thought, considering if there was truth to his family's spiritual beliefs.
He hoped to see Kristoph again, but only to inflict pain twenty times over. If such a thing was possible, anyway.
"Klavier!"
He snapped out of his thoughts and looked forward to see Ema, happier than he had ever seen her, walking towards him with Lana behind her. "Welcome back!" He beamed, though Lana said nothing but hugged him.
"I can't thank you enough, Mr. Gavin," She had finally told him after breaking the hug. "I'm forever in your debt."
"You are not, Miss Skye. All I want from you is to live a long and fulfilling life, ja?"
"There must be something-"
"I will accept nothing," he smiled.
The three strolled to the car, with Ema grinning from ear to ear and chattering excitedly to the both of them. Klavier kept his eye on her as she approached the passenger's side and allowed herself into the vehicle. "Though, there is one thing I want to discuss with you."
"What is that?" Lana blinked.
"You are her only living relative, ja?"
Her eyes cast to the snow beneath their shoes. "I am."
Klavier fumbled with the ring box in his pocket. "In that case, I will need to speak to you in private." He turned to his running car. "Later."
To whom it may concern,
I am Kristoph Gavin, Attorney at Law. I've had the reputation as one of the most respected lawyers in Los Angeles, as I have discovered many truths for my clients and sealed their acquittals. If you have received this letter, unfortunately, I am no longer living, having died an unclean death.
There is no denying that I have angered several over the years, and I am sure it is due to my many victories. I have represented and faced many dangerous individuals who have threatened my life, had I not met their terms. I wish to bring one last case to the court of law, with your help. It consists of bringing the perpetrator(s) to justice. I kindly ask for your services, so that I may finally rest in piece.
Yours.
