This was a good trial, the only problem with it is...

What the heck is that Maya sprite? AA6's sprite works better, because you don't just change immensely in 7-8 years after you turn 18

Ill PM/message you with general thoughts later, but first...
Spoiler : case :
The whole Athena stuff kinda goes nowhere... and there's no Note #2, for some reason. Was this a scrapped plot point or something?

Good case.

Wow ! Great work ! You nailed the characters and kept me interested all the way through. You deserve all the praise you got !
Spoiler : :
I laughed at the "My totally-not-fake badge which I will be using to present myself as a totally-not-fake attorney in court." XD
Still, I have a question.
Spoiler : :
The Time-Travelling Athena subplot felt weird to me. I think I found all the notes but I don't understand what it as to do with the actual story. Am I missing something ? Is it related to another case I'm not aware of ?

There are 3.
Spoiler : Spoilers as to the content of certain objects in the game :
#1 is kind of the general set-up.

#2 explains how The Fortune Teller came across his fortune and the hand-off of Magnifi's old tricks Valant had mentioned earlier in the story.

#3 explains why the trial happened as early as it did.

Now as to why I chose to present this information in this way (as in, why even bring this whole plotline of Athena's in the first place...)

well

cuz i felt like it

(that and this Athena is a reference to one of my older trials and I thought that'd be neat; and I felt it sort of fit in thematically with the whole "changing oneself", plus in general just taking jabs at Athena's portrayal in DD.)

In our defense, Note #2 is... rather well hidden. Perhaps too well hidden, honestly.
