It doesn't. [ he agrees, bluntly, ] But you can't blame yourself for stuff out of your control. You weren't the only person who saw Sieghart's bad description of his relationship with his wife.
[ it's a little reluctant, but he nods. god knows he still feels bad enough about ben... but he can't get so bogged down in regrets about things he did or didn't do before that he fails to do the things he needs to do now. ]
...Hey, uh... while I'm thinking of it, can you give me your opinion on something?
[ ... ]
I mean, I don't have a question, just... I need an opinion on literally anything.
Yeah, that's why it made me think of it! I just don't know if that counted or not since it was more of a mutual conversation than me just listening to you? Ugh, these requests are hard.
[ fucking gemini ]
Uh... Lup gave me her opinions on law, so I guess you could do that? Or... I don't know. You can tell me why you think big swords are the best weapon or something?
[ sebastian asking how the law can be corrupted from an ace attorney franchise is
so funny. baby. ]
... Like using their power to pin their own crimes on someone else. Creating laws that oppress people who go against them just because they can. Shit like that.
[ he wants to indignantly argue that stuff like that would hardly ever happen (while aggressively not looking at his father who is definitely a perfect upstanding citizen who couldn't possibly have been in the middle of doing EXACTLY THAT when he was taken hostage) but—
right. he's not supposed to be arguing. SIGH. ]
I-I see...
I don't... think that happens very often, but I, uh... I guess maybe it might happen sometimes...
W-well, in my world, the people enforcing the laws are people like me and Justine and my pops!
...But... there was that police chief and that one prosecutor who got arrested for murder a while back... a-and that cop who was a thief or something...

[ but. ok. the law. he pauses ]
I guess I'm technically a wanted man twice over. Laws are made by people in power, so it's easy for something like that to be corrupted.
