Screenshot of a character in Ace Attorney 4 saying, "And I was thinking, I haven't paid for lunches at my last school... for a year."

Screenshot of a character in Ace Attorney 4 saying, "And I was thinking, I haven't paid for lunches at my last school... for a year."

The following text is what the screenshot says, which didn't fit in Bluesky's limit: More context I didn't screenshot is that she thanks Phoenix for getting her out of that situation, because him taking her in means that she needs to switch schools and doesn't have to pay it back or hear about it anymore. There is a lot to say about Phoenix and Trucy's financial situation and also their relationship and the way she was raised both by Zak/the Gramaryes and by Phoenix, but I have more of a specific point here because I like to ramble to my friends about random little things I notice about these games. Zak definitely had the money to pay for her lunches, it's just that he really never bothered to give her any. It's really just neglect, among the other ways she was treated and raised. Already working and doing performances at the Wonder Bar, with Meekins having seen the Mr. Hat trick there, and the way she stresses Phoenix's new unemployment and how she'll just have to work twice as hard for the both of them. It's something personal to me and I see a lot of my own childhood in Trucy, as an adopted kid forced to grow up too early without really learning what being "an adult" actually is.

The following text is what the screenshot says, which didn't fit in Bluesky's limit: My main point, though, is the lunch money thing. In my own elementary school, they'd functionally shame the kids who didn't bring in their money by having someone come in and stopping class for a minute to hand the slips out, saying their names, and sometimes even reading aloud the amount of money they owed. It was pretty fucked up, it even happened once in second grade with a kid who only owed like 19 cents, and he made a remark about how the paper they printed it on probably already cost more than he owed in lunch money. Even the teacher thought it was stupid. But I still remember it 15-ish years later. And with one of the central parts of the first Ace Attorney game being Phoenix's awful experience with Edgeworth's lunch money being stolen down to an exact number that they all still remember, $38.00, and everyone distrusting Phoenix until Edgeworth stood up for him... being such an important event in his life that it fundamentally led to him becoming a lawyer... I wonder if this is something Shu Takumi had happen in his classes, too? You can't write stories without imbuing them with pieces of your own soul. There's a lot of things in Ace Attorney like this, it's why I have so much love for the series.
