Ace Attorney Executions: Despair and Retribution

Turnabout Mistakes ~ Despairing Days - Investigation Former, Part 1

—Ultimate Technician Zero Hamada's POV—

Poor Penelopé suddenly got hit with a fever... Now, of all times... Well, I have to check up on him... Maybe I should tell Mattea first.

So, I went to her and tapped on her shoulder once and said, "Mattea?"

She seemed to be in the mood for dancing since she has been dancing for quite the while. This girl dances quite good.

...But what do I know? I don't even know how to dance myself...

Anyway, I told her the following:

"I'll go check up on Pen, okay? He has been sleeping for a long time so he needs to eat."

"Aww, that's sweet," she cooed. "Alright, go ahead. I'll handle things for you here."

She smiled sincerely as I nodded back.

"Arigato," I bowed, "I will be back."

"Bye~!" She waved. "Oh! Tell him I said 'get well'!"

I turned one more time to reply, "Will do! Max?"

He came running and gave me a hug. He looked up with his sparkling eyes.

"What is it, Daddy?" Max chirped.

"Well," I paused, "it's time to check on your Mommy!"

"Yay!" He cheered. "Okay, okay! Let's gooooo!"

At this point, he was dragging me by my hand, pulling me away with immense strength... Hmm, guess I shouldn't have had his strength that high... Oh well!

I love this kid no matter what!

—Ultimate Perceiver Mattea Li's POV—

This is such a fun party! Woohoo! Everyone is having fun! Eating, dancing, playing! Everything! I don't mind the loudness cuz it's fuuuuun!

I was dancing around to the funky music too. This is such a great day! But I'm more glad that Penny and Zero finally confessed!

But I do wonder why Penny suddenly got sick... Of all times...

But they checked up on him. Zero said that he is doing fine. Fever is going down slowly, he said. That's good!

And then the familiar bell rung:

*DING DONG BANG BONG*

"A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time, which you may use however you like, a Class Trial will begin!"

"A-a what now?!" My eyes widened as humanly as possible. "N-NO!!"

The music stopped... Everything...became serious again...

N-no... S-someone...d-died...

"Pen! Max!" Zero suddenly yelled. "I-I have to find them! Pen's sleeping and so is Max!"

Everyone panicked. There were only six people at the first floor: Penny, Flash, Michi, Niamh, Max, and Rhea... S-so does that m-mean that--
