I kinda realized that even before objecting to THAT character going through with the trial and Apollo’s thoughts and I was like pls tell me I am wrong judge… It was the only fricking time where in an AA game I hoped to get a penality…
More like a special announce the truth theme preserved for a special moment, and that moment was Dhurke announcing the truth in the way no one would realize on the moment, but when the pieces be in place, it will shake everyone's heart well everyone's except those people in the jury who thought Dhurke was the bad guy, but anyways, those people were fooled foolish fools and you see my point right? IT WAS SUPER EMOTIONAL TO HANDLE MAN! T_T | | | | | | (those lines are tear streams)
"Are you sick?" " . . . Something like that." That was one of the few pieces of writing I'll remember from this game. the whole conversation was really well written.
When 'that moment' happened...Then with this music and Apollo's reaction... I seriously couldn't stop shaking... I've haven't felt that way with a game in a long while.
Yeah and when it showed the actual moment from Maya's POV... There have never been animations so specifically crafted for a single event, it only added to the weight of the moment.
"Why... what was i even fighting for?" I felt a heartbreaking shiver when i read this line. What have you been doing this whole time? Did it all even have a purpose? After all what is there to defend if the man youre defending is already gone? A crushing realization.
@@whisperstar13 Wait... where did you get that info from? I don't remember anything in the game mentioning that, but maybe it's from some other source material, Just curious about your source. Also, if thats true... that means that Apollo was gonna be prosecuted for all things Dhurke was accused of doing?
@@pkmntrainerred4247 *SPOILERS AHEAD* It’s mentioned in the report you’re given about Amara’s assassination attempt. Since Dhurke was accused of the crime, Nahyuta was expelled from the royal family and had to work to get to where he was as a prosecutor. This is also how Nahyuta was forced to do Ga’ran’s bidding; the secret of Rayfa’s parentage was being used against him. If it came out that Dhurke had fathered her when he “kidnapped” Amara, she would’ve been disinherited and shunned by the people. Apollo’s potential ruination isn’t really brought up, though. I guess we have to assume that Ga’ran doesn’t consider him Dhurke’s child, whether that be because Dhurke adopting him was never officiated or just because he wasn’t biologically related.
Not counting the time Dhurke’s big secret was revealed, this theme immediately associates me with the opening of the civil case. Seeing two main characters have to fight against each other was heartbreaking enough but learning that there were major consequences if any of them loses really just broke me.
It makes me wish it wasn't used in 6-3 because no one actually thought Nick was going to die in that one. If this song only played ONCE and during the 6-5 twist, it would have been soooooo much more impactful
@@mega20able rather than thinking he was going to die, this song really drove home the severity of the situation. For me this was the first time in the whole series Phoenix was well and truly cornered. No last minute gambit to make, no evidence or breakthrough at the end to save him. He was all out of luck, all out of chances, all out of hope. And then they slammed him with the guilty verdict. He'd failed, and more than his own death he was probably stricken by the thought that Maya was going to die because of him. Every time the song was used (Trucy's trial, Maya's, and the final case), it was done to great effect. Using it only once would have been criminal.
I'd say this is more a theme of when, instead of the witness, you are cornered, with a narrow line of sight out. Of course this is used in other parts besides that
Never thought that a game about lawyers would actually make me shed tears, along with becoming one of my favourite game series of all time. Well played Ace Attorney, well played
(SPOILERS) People forget that this theme plays when Phoenix loses his composure after bluffing and fighting so hard, so long, so painfully, all to save the life of Maya, and finally breaks down when that stress plus Apollo's unsympathy and misunderstandings become too much. Nothing will beat the big reveal, but this to me was the second saddest part in all of Spirit of Justice. Seeing Phoenix break and apologize to Apollo made my heart cry.
@@jesuisunfrancaiss yo I wonder what people would talk about in a comment section of a music piece of a game, wait they talked about the game??? NO WAY!!!
This and "The Basics of the Case" are unforgettable. AA6 truly has some of the best tracks in the series, maybe on par with Trials and Tribulations as a whole.
SPOILERS well, y'see, i whole heartedly love the ace attorney series, but i made the mistake of spoiling most of the series before i played it..SOj was the first main series AA game i played fully blind...i had absolutely no inkling of dhurkes death and i had the whole game for him to grow on me as an attorney, as a character, and as a father figure to apollo..i could feel every bit of apollos despair..
+ThatRandomGamer it's not the music. It's what happened while it played. I, for one, cried since I really got attached to dhurke since I never had a real father. I haven't cried at anything else before though even if I feel like it. Don't hold on to your worthless male pride; let it go and move on. Let it out! :P
The first time I teared up was in investigations 2 when Raymond bowed to edgeworth's death father (He bowed to a photo of Gregory edgeworth) That moment had me almost cry.
Everyone's talking about the scene in 6-5 but I also liked it when this theme played during 6-3 during the moments leading up to the first ever time Phoenix ever received a guilty verdict for a non-evil client and how both he and Maya would then be on death row
scovelme First of all, all I said was "No Dhurke", nothing else. Second of all, why would anyone be looking at this comment section of they haven't finished the game. Third of all, you just revealed that my comment is a potential spoiler, not me.
Apollo's gone through so much shit, man. From memory: His father died when he was a baby. This'll come into play later. He was adopted by Dhurke. Later, he almost drowned. The Ga'ran regime on its own is a bad thing. He moved to the United States to start a law career, where he met Clay Terran. I think it was around here that his mother got shot (not like he ever knew her), causing her memory loss. He graduated, and started practicing law. On his very first case, his mentor, Kristoph Gavin, was found out to be a criminal and arrested. On the same trial, he met former courtroom legend Phoenix Wright and his adopted daughter, who is coincidentally Apollo's half-sister, Trucy. Later on, he proved Kristoph guilty of another crime. He met Athena Cykes, along with a newly reinstalled Phoenix Wright. They proceeded to solve a few cases. Clay Terran was murdered at the space center, and Apollo suspects Athena did it. It all goes downhill from here. Apollo starts doubting his ideals and everything the Wright Anything Offices stand for, begging for Phoenix to clear his doubts with evidence while imitating the coldest person he knows, Kristoph Gavin. His doubts are cleared, as he sets out to solve the case with Phoenix and Athena. Trucy's framed for a crime she didn't commit and, in Phoenix's absence, defends her succesfully. Dhurke, his adoptive father, leader of the Defiant Dragons, returns from Khu'rain in search of the Founder's Orb. Apollo and Dhurke go to Kurain Village to search for the Founder's Orb. After a gruelling journey where they start to bond with each other, they find it... only for Phoenix Wright to claim that it belongs to Paul Atishon, willing to take it to court. Take it to court they do, and Apollo manages to beat Phoenix, only to find out that Maya had been kidnapped and Phoenix coerced to work for them, revealed to be Inga Khar'kuul(?) Khu'rain, Khu'rain's justice minister. They all go to Khu'rain, where Dhurke goes to save Maya... only to apparently kill Inga himself. The following trial goes on as normal, until... the possibility that Dhurke was dead all along arises. It then becomes the only possibility... which turns out to be right. Dhurke had been shot to death by Inga days prior. Apollo has a breakdown. Apollo recovers shortly after, and finds out that his biological father had been hired by Dhurke to play for Amara, former queen of Khu'rain, and that current queen Ga'ran was responsible for the fire that killed his father. Apollo then goes on to corner Ga'ran and, later, stay in Khu'rain to start rebuilding the legal system.
Slight correction, I'm pretty sure he never got Kristoph on that other crimes because of stuff regarding the definitive piece of evidence that otherwise would've gotten him.
@@entrypointman9628 No he's not???? An uncle is a sibling of one of your parents, and last I checked Jove Justice and Zak were not brothers (and I sure hope Zak wasn't Thalassa's brother... which we know he wasn't anyways, but still)
I was shocked and really sad when they revealed Dhurke's..."state". I would slam my head on the bench too.... Hearing this song now feels exactly like it's called.
@@superfightingrobotmkx7776 Everyone has recommended me to play Undertale and I finished the normal route and they told me about genocide and pacifist but I got bored trying them and stopped playing. Might try it again later tho
This isn't heard much, but it really is used at the right times for this game. Probably the top 3 moments were When Nahyuta destroys Phoenix's reasoning and he gets a Guilty verdict, When Dhurke reveals that he's going to die soon, And of course, when Apollo finds out that Dhurke is dead. *Apollo* (What... ...was I fighting for?) (What am I... supposed to do now?)
Everyone speaking about when this played when Dhurke is discovered to be dead. But for me, this theme reminds me of when Nahyuta beats Wright in case 3 and you just have to watch as Maya and you can't do anything to defend yourselves.
Powerful ... And damn this scene ... one of the most memorable of the whole Ace Attorney serie. My favorite Spirit of Justice soundtrack, along with Mr Reus and Uendo Toneido theme.
( How can Ace Attorney be so fucking powerful. It's a visual novel. A fucking visual novel. With lines that sound like they could be taught in a goddamn college level English class and characters you could ABSOLUTELY write essays on. They really need to market it better so more people can experience the sheer unbridled pain, strife, etc. that the games deliver. It's fucked up to me how people often can see the classic Objection! bubble used in popular culture, but never know where it comes from. )
When playing the game and before I put down who it was. A tear had hit my hand because I realize that was the only possible answer. By doing that I broke a rule. "The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over"
I feel that this would also be very suiting for the end of the 1st trial day for JfA's final case. Knowing that the Judge is about to end the proceedings, knowing that Maya's not going to live if Phoenix doesn't get an acquittal, seeing him desperately trying to get the judge to continue the case... When I heard this music in SoJ's 3rd case, it reminded me of that moment...
A somewhat similar moment occurs at the end of Trial 1 in SoJ's 5th case, and it does indeed play this song, which is cool. Made me think of Farewell, my Turnabout.
Every one of those deep piano chords at the start of theme hits sharp into your already hurting heart. You can hear the despair. You suffer with them as you feel how hopeless everything suddenly becomes.
Phoenix: lowers his head in despair and holds his head down Miles: grabs his arm and looks down and away Athena: holds herself, Widget shuts down, blank eyes of despair Apollo: pulls head back, BANGS it full force on the bench... Then rises up to finish what he started.
I remember hearing this in the case with the high priest and his wife, so when I heard this again in Dhurke's revelation I was quick to mistake it for a Khura'in Tell TheTruth theme.
the title of this fits so well. "cornered heart"- someone not wanting to believe what is happening, their heart desperately not wanting it to be true, and is backed up against the wall.. by the truth.
just listening to this makes my heart break... "A Cornered Heart". really the perfect name. this case made me feel different than any case before. as emotional as 3-5 was, it could never compare to the intensity and sadness of the moment dhurke's secret was revealed. i almost felt as if i was in apollo's place. i don't think i've ever cried more.
A Cornered Heart may be one of my favorite songs in the series. This song is perfect for almost any situation it’s used in. I love how well it conveys any despair and desperation. Especially when it plays for Apollo in Turnabout Revolution. Holy shit, that entire sequence made me love Apollo that much more. He has not only Chords of Steel, but Balls of Steel by continuing and winning the case after the revelation of Dhurke’s death
Spoiler warning I really didn't want to believe that Dhurke was dead. It hit me during the second trial after remembering how the memories worked for Tahrust, and I really didn't want to think the same thing happened to Dhurke. When I was told to select a profile on who was being channeled, even though I predicted it, it still hit like a truck. It felt like Apollo could finally meet with his long-lost father, and Dhurke's last wish was not only to see the revolution succeed, but to see Apollo one last time. And to think you could grow so attached to a character after just one case.
Spoiler Warning Also, as Apollo is breaking down at the scene, I thought it was a perfect interjection to have the 'Queen' make her evil remarks on celebrating Dhurke's death. It showed how irredeemable and evil of a villain she was, and how she had to be taken down.
This along with van zieks realizing of his true family curse and Athena trying to fix her mother is one of the most heart wrenching revelations in the series.
I sense a bit of Announce the Truth in here somewhere, like how 2001 was in this game's ATT. ...This is literally so much better than the actual Confess the Truth.
For me it was something similar. When he slammed his face I smiled and giggled, but that was out of reaction because I didnt knew how to react to the sudden feels, and since on the inside I was practically dying, 2 seconds later I started crying a fucking river.
That Cyan Dude Me tho xD that whole case was so sad and espacially at the very end... SPOIL: When Apollo left the agency I was just like noooooooooooo our little chicken is all grown up T-T
Ollie Green When I first saw Apollo slam is head into the desk, I was just sitting there with a really sad and surprised look on my face and my sister was just like "um, are you okay?" XD
that really was a shocking moment, when dhurke said he doesn't have much longer to live and apollo thought he was joking or lying and he was waiting for his bracelet to react but his bracelet didn't react. that really was a moment that would send chills down you
When I came up to this conversation, I acted it out (on my own) and it was really hard to not cry when I put on the crack in my voice. It was heartbreaking. This entire conversation, and the big reveal that he's dead. I could barely contain it.
Imagine quite literally fighting to death in court in order to defend a person you love - and then it's revealed that the person you're defending is a ghost and has already been dead for 3 days. That's fucking crushingly tragic.
It's strange, I usually see tons of comments spoiling stuff on videos where you shouldn't expect to get spoiled, and then this video which you should go into expecting spoilers is relatively clean
I was impressed that this theme played in case 5, but I realized when I re-watched case 3 this theme also played when Nahyuta said that Maya was the culprit of both murders

That was one of the few pieces of writing I'll remember from this game. the whole conversation was really well written.
i started crying at this part, i couldnt contain the feels
Are you sick?
...Something like that. I'm DEAD.
At first it irked me that they were pulling the "I'm sick and I'm gonna die" card... then the reveal happened.
Poor Dhurke... died like a hero.

Yeah and when it showed the actual moment from Maya's POV... There have never been animations so specifically crafted for a single event, it only added to the weight of the moment.
**slams head with depression**
That moment and Godot twist in AA3 are the only things in Ace Attorney that made me tremble fr

And the answer is: The cause. The symbol. What the now dead man stood for.
*The revolution.*
In Khura’in, the crimes of the father are visited upon his children. The revolution wasn’t the only future you were fighting for.

Fodimin Layton Still. It implies something happens to Dhurke. And I myself went to this video many times before I finished the game.
scovelme Not a smart move tbh
Fodimin Layton You're probably right. But my point still stands
Apollo's gone through so much shit, man.
From memory:
His father died when he was a baby. This'll come into play later.
He was adopted by Dhurke. Later, he almost drowned. The Ga'ran regime on its own is a bad thing.
He moved to the United States to start a law career, where he met Clay Terran.
I think it was around here that his mother got shot (not like he ever knew her), causing her memory loss.
He graduated, and started practicing law. On his very first case, his mentor, Kristoph Gavin, was found out to be a criminal and arrested. On the same trial, he met former courtroom legend Phoenix Wright and his adopted daughter, who is coincidentally Apollo's half-sister, Trucy.
Later on, he proved Kristoph guilty of another crime.
He met Athena Cykes, along with a newly reinstalled Phoenix Wright. They proceeded to solve a few cases.
Clay Terran was murdered at the space center, and Apollo suspects Athena did it. It all goes downhill from here.
Apollo starts doubting his ideals and everything the Wright Anything Offices stand for, begging for Phoenix to clear his doubts with evidence while imitating the coldest person he knows, Kristoph Gavin.
His doubts are cleared, as he sets out to solve the case with Phoenix and Athena.
Trucy's framed for a crime she didn't commit and, in Phoenix's absence, defends her succesfully.
Dhurke, his adoptive father, leader of the Defiant Dragons, returns from Khu'rain in search of the Founder's Orb.
Apollo and Dhurke go to Kurain Village to search for the Founder's Orb. After a gruelling journey where they start to bond with each other, they find it... only for Phoenix Wright to claim that it belongs to Paul Atishon, willing to take it to court.
Take it to court they do, and Apollo manages to beat Phoenix, only to find out that Maya had been kidnapped and Phoenix coerced to work for them, revealed to be Inga Khar'kuul(?) Khu'rain, Khu'rain's justice minister.
They all go to Khu'rain, where Dhurke goes to save Maya... only to apparently kill Inga himself.
The following trial goes on as normal, until... the possibility that Dhurke was dead all along arises. It then becomes the only possibility... which turns out to be right. Dhurke had been shot to death by Inga days prior. Apollo has a breakdown.

When Dhurke reveals that he's going to die soon,
And of course, when Apollo finds out that Dhurke is dead.
*Apollo* (What... ...was I fighting for?)
(What am I... supposed to do now?)
Without a doubt, one of the best and most memorable tracks ever.
This might just be my favourite Ace Attorney song ever.
Everyone speaking about when this played when Dhurke is discovered to be dead. But for me, this theme reminds me of when Nahyuta beats Wright in case 3 and you just have to watch as Maya and you can't do anything to defend yourselves.
Powerful ... And damn this scene ... one of the most memorable of the whole Ace Attorney serie. My favorite Spirit of Justice soundtrack, along with Mr Reus and Uendo Toneido theme.
Ah yes, Mr Retinz/Reus - The third culprit who belongs in hell.
First: Von Karma
Second: Dahlia
Third: Reus
( How can Ace Attorney be so fucking powerful. It's a visual novel. A fucking visual novel. With lines that sound like they could be taught in a goddamn college level English class and characters you could ABSOLUTELY write essays on. They really need to market it better so more people can experience the sheer unbridled pain, strife, etc. that the games deliver. It's fucked up to me how people often can see the classic Objection! bubble used in popular culture, but never know where it comes from. )
When playing the game and before I put down who it was. A tear had hit my hand because I realize that was the only possible answer. By doing that I broke a rule.
"The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over"
A Dragon never yields, BUT MY HEART AND SOUL ARE YIELDING RIGHT NOW GODAMMIT
One of the best Ace-Attorney songs ever. Each time in the game this song was played I had goosebumps!
Apollo’s breakdown in trial 5 was just heartbreaking…
I feel that this would also be very suiting for the end of the 1st trial day for JfA's final case.
Knowing that the Judge is about to end the proceedings, knowing that Maya's not going to live if Phoenix doesn't get an acquittal, seeing him desperately trying to get the judge to continue the case...
When I heard this music in SoJ's 3rd case, it reminded me of that moment...
A somewhat similar moment occurs at the end of Trial 1 in SoJ's 5th case, and it does indeed play this song, which is cool. Made me think of Farewell, my Turnabout.
I think I speak in the name of everyone when I say (Spoiler for case 5)
R.I.P Dhurke NEVER FORGET.
Every one of those deep piano chords at the start of theme hits sharp into your already hurting heart. You can hear the despair. You suffer with them as you feel how hopeless everything suddenly becomes.
Phoenix: lowers his head in despair and holds his head down
Miles: grabs his arm and looks down and away
Athena: holds herself, Widget shuts down, blank eyes of despair
Apollo: pulls head back, BANGS it full force on the bench... Then rises up to finish what he started.
I remember hearing this in the case with the high priest and his wife, so when I heard this again in Dhurke's revelation I was quick to mistake it for a Khura'in Tell TheTruth theme.
I cried like a 4 year old child hearing this theme
capcom always hits us with the damn feels
i dont see anyone talking when this plays in case 2 when the gallery is accusing trucy
the title of this fits so well. "cornered heart"- someone not wanting to believe what is happening, their heart desperately not wanting it to be true, and is backed up against the wall..
by the truth.
just listening to this makes my heart break...
"A Cornered Heart". really the perfect name.
this case made me feel different than any case before. as emotional as 3-5 was, it could never compare to the intensity and sadness of the moment dhurke's secret was revealed.
i almost felt as if i was in apollo's place.
i don't think i've ever cried more.
Hearing it kinda makes my heart bleed every time. Oh dear, the feels.
This is the game’s true Tell the Truth theme for me
A Cornered Heart may be one of my favorite songs in the series. This song is perfect for almost any situation it’s used in. I love how well it conveys any despair and desperation. Especially when it plays for Apollo in Turnabout Revolution. Holy shit, that entire sequence made me love Apollo that much more. He has not only Chords of Steel, but Balls of Steel by continuing and winning the case after the revelation of Dhurke’s death

Favorite ace attorney song ever.
Spoiler warning
I really didn't want to believe that Dhurke was dead. It hit me during the second trial after remembering how the memories worked for Tahrust, and I really didn't want to think the same thing happened to Dhurke. When I was told to select a profile on who was being channeled, even though I predicted it, it still hit like a truck. It felt like Apollo could finally meet with his long-lost father, and Dhurke's last wish was not only to see the revolution succeed, but to see Apollo one last time. And to think you could grow so attached to a character after just one case.
Spoiler Warning
Also, as Apollo is breaking down at the scene, I thought it was a perfect interjection to have the 'Queen' make her evil remarks on celebrating Dhurke's death. It showed how irredeemable and evil of a villain she was, and how she had to be taken down.
@@Superhero18
Just making sure [potential spoilers for some]
I was so mfing pissed when she celebrated his passing
i have been lookibg for this ost everywhere... my favourite ost in the game
the moment i had to present the bloodstains… in my head, i knew where it was going. i didnt want it to go there.
The chills
This is also the Civil War case between Apollo and Phoenix.
Finally! I've been searching for this one all morning! XD
They *really* need to arrange this for one of the orchestras, it'd sound fantastic.
Bro for me this is the greatest twist in ace attorney history and this theme captures it so well
This along with van zieks realizing of his true family curse and Athena trying to fix her mother is one of the most heart wrenching revelations in the series.
When I first heard this I was like HOLY MOTHER OF.... KHURA'IN!!
I sense a bit of Announce the Truth in here somewhere, like how 2001 was in this game's ATT.
...This is literally so much better than the actual Confess the Truth.
I really love this theme .
(Wait... why isn't my bracelet reacting?!)
that part from 0:48-0:59 is the BEST
Spoiler:
When Apollo slammed his face into the desk I almost laughed... but everything was so messed up already I just felt awful for him instead Dx
For me it was something similar. When he slammed his face I smiled and giggled, but that was out of reaction because I didnt knew how to react to the sudden feels, and since on the inside I was practically dying, 2 seconds later I started crying a fucking river.
That Cyan Dude Me tho xD that whole case was so sad and espacially at the very end...
SPOIL:
When Apollo left the agency I was just like noooooooooooo our little chicken is all grown up T-T
Ollie Green
When I first saw Apollo slam is head into the desk, I was just sitting there with a really sad and surprised look on my face and my sister was just like "um, are you okay?" XD
Same xD I guess he isn't called Herr forehead for nothing
did you just
To me this is the best track from SoJ
Headbanging fun for everyone.
Jeez, at this rate Apollo is gonna get more than a mere call from Murphy. He's gonna get sued for copyright infringement.
This song fits the shock soooo well
The moment where Dhurke died... and Apollo breaks down of sadness
I wanna cry now
I feel the urge to replay all 6 games now..
"Wh-Who... What... ...was I even fighting for?"
“If you believe in me enough to put your life on the line.. then I’m going to believe in you too!”
that really was a shocking moment, when dhurke said he doesn't have much longer to live and apollo thought he was joking or lying and he was waiting for his bracelet to react but his bracelet didn't react. that really was a moment that would send chills down you
I literally chilled right now with your comment, holy.......
@@thedarkva9925 it was one or two years ago, but i remember playing it and getting chills myself, I think
plus, sorry for spoiling
@@weirdface1846 Nah, ur good
I beated the game, so I knew what you were reffering
@@thedarkva9925 good to know. but it was a pretty powerful moment huh
When I came up to this conversation, I acted it out (on my own) and it was really hard to not cry when I put on the crack in my voice. It was heartbreaking. This entire conversation, and the big reveal that he's dead. I could barely contain it.
People tend to forget this also played in the first case when Ahlbi finally starts talking
Imagine quite literally fighting to death in court in order to defend a person you love - and then it's revealed that the person you're defending is a ghost and has already been dead for 3 days. That's fucking crushingly tragic.
This comment section wholesome, not spoiling important parts of a very good game that gets ruined if spoiled. The community is great for this game
It's strange, I usually see tons of comments spoiling stuff on videos where you shouldn't expect to get spoiled, and then this video which you should go into expecting spoilers is relatively clean
Sheesh this is even giving me chills now.
sounds nice
woa srry
This is one song that I have absolutely no clue what it's titled, even after the OST came out.
I was impressed that this theme played in case 5, but I realized when I re-watched case 3 this theme also played when Nahyuta said that Maya was the culprit of both murders
Because this track plays during a spoilery part of the game, expect major spoilers in the comments.
"There is a truth that you will not appreciate"
... I wanna cry
When Dhurke was revealed to have already been dead, I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach...
This sounds uncannily like Crisis of Fate from Investigations (especially when the bass drops)
The big reveal was probably the biggest “NO FUCKING WAY” moment in the whole series
FACEDESK
Dhurke? _D-Dhurke?!_ *DHUUUUUUURKE!!!*
N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Why?! Wh-WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN??!
Dammit, Dhurke! ANSWER MEEEEE
As I said, the kid gloves are off, and come what may, they’ll stay off.
I honestly thought the big twist was going to be that apollo started the fire that killed Jove, but this twist was much better, seriously tear worthy,
Logan Spejewski apollo was still a baby though
Apollo was 1
an accident wouldn't be so choking
