so you guys might remember me playing through AA6 earlier this year? I stopped after 6-4 for some reason, but inspired by a surprising conversation about AA with work colleagues this week, I started 6-5 a few days ago!

finished with the Khura'in investigation day now, just the Dhurke trial left (presumably). damn this case has become bleak as hell, I'd need to go back and play some of the other epics to see if any of them feel as tragic and sorrowful as this one (maybe 5-5 might). even the Armie Buff narrative in the prelude was heartbreaking! I started with the day 2 investigation this evening in a fairly melancholic mood, and if anything I think I feel even worse now. super gripping stuff though.

current thoughts, so I can laugh at my mistakes later:

- the queen has to be the mastermind between both crimes. it would seem fairly absurd for her to be physically murdering people herself (surely she has people for that), but I can't see any other suspect. if there's nothing in the sarcophagus, I wonder if she could enter/exit the tomb through there?
- I think Rayfa might be Dhurke and Amara's daughter and yet another psuedo-hostage for the regime
- I have no real idea what Dhurke might be talking about when he says that the trial might have some uncomfortable truths for Apollo. maybe he did kill Inga? Maya said he saved her, after all.
- seems like Inga has prosopagnosia (that thing that Ace from 999 has) and can't recognise faces. doesn't really seem to have any relevance to the case itself yet, but it'll surely make the Divination Seance fun!
- given what we know about Edgeworth, Apollo and Athena's pasts now, it feels amusing and incongruous how little we know about Phoenix's childhood and family. is there anything at all besides the Butz class trial? I guess it makes him a better avatar, but at this point he almost feels like one of the least fleshed out main characters in the series, which is bizarre. maybe if I returned to the original trilogy I'd feel differently.
- if 6-5 sticks the landing, it's a top three case in the series for sure, no? not even 3-5 felt this massive in scope.
