[ alas, if you happen to be glancing in this particular direction, you might notice a slightly dazed-looking young man with a rather ridiculous hairstyle. he's rubbing his head profusely, and blinks a few times to clear his mind. after a moment of staring, wide-eyed, at his surroundings, he finally speaks aloud to himself: ]H-Huh?

M-Mr. Wright!

Uh, Mr. Wright...not that the lawyer look isn't fitting on you or anything, but-- [ something glinting on his lapel catches apollo's eye. ]
I-Is that a real attorney's badge?
[ commence ogling. ]

What are you talking about...? Of course it's real! You can't just pick these up off the street or something.
Am I... supposed to know you?

Ah, of course I knew that! I just meant, well...the last time I saw you, you didn't have one. A-And I've never seen you dressed like this in person. To be honest, though, you were kinda more impressive on the court tapes.
[ he makes sure his hair is still firmly glued to his head before he speaks again, uncertainly. ]
Though if this is some sort of joke, Mr. Wright, it isn't very funny. It's Justice. Apollo Justice?

I don't know anyone by that name. And beside, why would I joke about something like this?

L-Look, don't you think you're taking this a little bit too far? I mean, I know you like to tease me, but this is a new low. Even for you.

Well, er, Mr. Wright--or whoever you are--do you know why we're here, at least?

Th-Then maybe you could tell me who you really are, if you aren't the Mr. Wright I know.

Er, it sounds silly but-- [ he clears his throat anxiously and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly. ] --the only explanation is that you're from the past.

[Phoenix pauses when he hears Apollo's suggestion. Really, he might have laughed, to be honest-- though only nervously, not mockingly, except that nothing about this place made sense. So why not have him from the past?
... the idea of losing his badge made him feel faint.]
The... past? I mean, I -- with this place, it might just be plausible, but-- I'm having a hard time processing all of this.

B-But, er, yeah--I mean, you look like Mr. Wright from seven years ago. It's a stretch to say that you really could be him, but I guess I've seen weirder stuff happen in the courtroom.

[he looks awkward for a bit, here. The thought of losing his badge is still making him a bit upset.] Well I'm not sure how exactly I'm supposed to prove it, so you might just have to take my word for it. Where's Maya when you need her?

I guess I believe that you're Mr. Wright, no matter what sort of crazy dimension you come from. Though I'm still sure I'm dreaming. I usually can't hold a conversation with Mr. Wright this long without being ridiculed...or worse.
