[He quickly deflates.]

Um... er... maybe, I guess?

...

...There was no way to win this, was there.

[The status quo has been reestablished so she's happy again.]

Nope!

But that aside, you did pretty good. I'll give you an A+ for effort.

[Why do I feel like a crushing regime has just re-asserted itself above me?]

Thanks... I think.

...So are doing any apologies, or...?

[She thinks about this for a bit, because she knows she did something wrong. And that Minamoto probably would get really angry if he knew that she hadn't apologized...

So she shrugs in the most nonchalant way possible.]

Sure! I'm sorry.

[The cheerful grin on her face doesn't really make her seem sincere.]

There we go! [He smiles despite the utter lack of sincerity. At least it's finally over with...]

So, uh... I guess that settles that!

Sure does! [It puts him below her on the heirarchy, so she's very happy about it.]

You know, you're an okay guy, mister.

Thanks... I think. [More like an okay doormat.]

My name's Phoenix Wright, by the way. [He presents his badge.] I'm a defense attorney.

I'm Sannomiya Shiho. [Looks at the badge....looks at him.]

A lawyer, huh...is that why you were yelling "objection"? [Like it was some kind of catchphrase??]

Yep, you got me! We lawyers... um, we object to things...

It's nice to meet you, S- ...Er, I'm sorry. Which one is your first name? [He's trying to adjust to the number of Japanese names around.]

[That earns him an amused eyebrow raise and a laugh (at his expense). Lawyers, huh...she hadn't had a lot of experience with them so this should be fun.]

It's Shiho.

Right, sorry. ...It's nice to meet you, Shiho.

It's nice to meet you, too, Mr. Lawyer.

[What is it with people using occupations as names...]

I'm glad to hear it. So, um... Do you need any help, now that that's settled? Or should I just be on my way...

[She's trying to seem like she doesn't care a whole lot about his actual name.]

Nope. You can go now, if you want to.

[She's the very picture of a very well-behaved, well-mannered girl again.

But wait....didn't lawyers have a lot of money....? Maybe he'd come in useful later.]

[Thank you for your permission, o great one...]

I guess I'll move along then. Take... care? And... stay out of trouble?

[Nope, these words sound about too futile. So he'll just leave now.]

[That may have been the most mature and adult-like thing he's said to her so far. So she tries not to laugh as he leaves.]

I'll try my best!

[Which is not a yes, because staying out of trouble was boring.]
