Save Him || Klapollo

Ch 2. "Das Leben ist wertlos"

Chapter 2

-

Apollo Justice POV:

Prosecutor Gavin was standing there wiping what appeared to be his face and I heard soft sobs coming the thin man. I nearly felt awful for him having to return to see he sibling like this. I walked over and saw Kristoph was on the opposite side of the thick bars doing his standard pose and pushing up his glasses. Klavier caught me staring at him and he clumsily fell backwards into a few crates. He managed to get the words, "Don't come closer.." I watched the prosecutors heart breaking every crack in his voice as his tears stained his face. I wish I could pull him into an embrace and let him melt all his pain away. As of now it felt like my obligation to support Klavier. That is when it hit me, I nearly overlooked that I was standing directly before my previous mentors solitary cell.

I went to peer inside and I found him sitting on a velvet seat and drinking what looked like tea. I checked out his cell and it looked comforting and altogether different from the other prisoners. His brick walls were lined with bookshelves and a little vase of perfectly arranged roses were perched on a little desk. I was stunned how did Kristoph Gavin get such a delightful lone cell. Kristoph got up gradually and put his teacup down on the table and walked over to the bars. I walked back practically tripping on every step.

"Greetings Justice." says Kristoph who is walking closer. I can't even look at him so I wind up looking at my shoes. "Justice dear, you know it's not polite to turn away from somebody when they are talking." I keep on gazing downwards, anything is better at that looking that man in the eye. I nod slowly and let out a "Why...Mr. Gavin" seconds go by of no response. Suddenly I hear a soft hum, "You know Justice, I am proud of you." I shoot him a look and he has that same irritating grin. "Shut up!" I shout back. I didn't intend to show this side of me before Klavier, yet he was making me upset. "Hm, you sure have changed since the last time I've seen you." I let out a grunt and fold my arms to gaze at him. "Fine, play filthy Justice, yet recall that I always win." He let out a chuckle similar to the one we heard during court that day. He says he always wins as he is laughing like a mad man in this cell! "Anyway, Justice why are you here?" I glance back at Klavier he is sitting on the crates he bumped into earlier with his twisted hair loosened still crying softly. I fix my gaze at the man before me. "I am here because..."

What am I doing here?.. For what reason am I even here?

I search for some reason to explain my appearance and then Klavier breaks the silence and says, "Das Leben ist wertlos.." (Life is worthless) I am not quite sure what the means but it surely made Kristoph a bit startled too. Klavier got up from the crates and walked down the dim hallway letting out a few sniffs. I watch as he left and me and Kristoph were alone.
