There's only one access point. Always has been, it just...changes into whatever it feels like.

[slobjection]

Hm... I was under the impression there might be another way in.

[ he kind of wonders how the house decides on its tests.... ]

The room of req-whatever is the one that's been most on my mind..... But maybe the changes to it themselves aren't relevant.

[cluedin]

...what does your gut tell you, exactly?

[slobjection]

That it's trying to throw us off and conceal its true nature, basically. Transforming into anything you want... that's a pretty convenient trap. Good way to keep people from looking too closely, too.

[cluedin]

Exactly. So, how would you go about breaking that trap and getting around it to see the truth?

[slobjection]

Hmm, well the classic move I was taught is.... to turn things around.

[cluedin]

And how do you do that? [...] That sounds a lot more certain than other things.

[slobjection]

[ the magic of the orange sometimes red text. ]

Thinking outside the box.

[ stop spouting generic ace attorney mentor lines. ]

The house likes to feed on our fear, from what I'm getting. I wonder if it's afraid of anything, itself.

[cluedin]

I've never thought to ask. [Dryly. But hm...] I doubt it's fearless though. Otherwise it wouldn't protect itself as well as it does.

[slobjection]

I doubt it'd be much for conversation.

[ this is pre house meeting so i can't make jokes. ]

That's my feeling. It defends itself so viciously... almost like it's got the most to hide.

[cluedin]

But drawing out the weakness is the hardest part of all. That's where so many other groups fell short no matter how hard they tried. It's unfair.

...you guys might have been luck at least.

[slobjection]

Hard to fight against the house if it's making you fight each other, I suppose.

I do know a thing or two about muscling through on pure luck, though....

[ and then he fucking dies immediately ]

[cluedin]

Just make sure you use that luck where it counts, okay? You're gonna need it if things really get bad.

[It's a joke because she trusts Phoenix. AND THEN HE FUCKING DIES.]

[slobjection]

They usually do, with me.... but I try to find a way to power through.

[ then he dies ]
