[mod note] i am also no longer labeling this account spoiler-free out of caution! more of a yellow flag for ryunosuke here but pretty please actually finish tgaa.... it's really good.......
[mod note] heads up! this account is no longer spoiler-free!
i have finally gotten around to adding quotes from near the end of tgaa: resolve and unfortunately a lot of them are things sholmes says to or about a character whose relationship with him is inherently a spoiler.
Kazuma Asogi, my best friend. Also in his second year at Yumei University. But he's far more clever than I. A star student, in fact. He's even a qualified lawyer. Impressive, considering he's still an undergraduate.
"No, Mr Naruhodo! You must never scrutinise a young maiden's personal belongings."
(But the young maiden might have chocolates, or biscuits, or caramel...)
(What is this, welling up inside me...? I've never felt like this before. It's a sort of conviction to break down all the discrepancies... It's so intense. Almost rage-like... And more than anything else, it's an animalistic desire... to take down my prey!)
Actually, Lord Stronghart gave me a long speech all about this very subject only yesterday. But I sort of lost the will to live early on and didn't really listen to much of it.
Mr Sholmes certainly wasn't expecting the acrid taste that one time. I've never heard anyone let out a scream like that before. Or seen anyone fall down the stairs quite like that either. ...It always bring a smile to my lips when I'm feeling a little down.
Oh! I'm, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any offence! I still can't express myself very well in English, you see. And I'm never sure what's acceptable to say and what isn't, so...
Do you know what it says, Kazuma?
"I think it's French. This must be very expensive water."
Yes, but what does it say? That's what I was asking.
"Then go to France and ask."
...You could just say that you don't know.
W-W-WAX MODELS?! .........AAAAAAAAAGH! I, I read about d-dead bodies and wax once...in a m-magazine about strange phenomena. Depending on how c-c-corpses are kept after death, p-parts of them can turn to wax, apparently. It's c-called a...adi...adip... Adipocere!

Look at the prawns and the anemones gently swaying around in the tank. Regular cleaning, some food and fresh seawater is all they need. And some conversation, of course.
......... I am, to my shame, still a very inexperienced lawyer. So you will have to forgive me, but I consider my assistant's advice essential and her opinions invaluable.
You, you don't think... ...all those p-people who escaped c-c-conviction in court are lying inside them...d-dead, do you?
"What ridiculous notions are going through your head, man? This is my collection of fine vintages!"
Oh...yes, of course. Thank you for clearing that up...
I can't do it. After a couple of minutes of sitting with my legs folded under me, they start to go tingly.
"Don't exaggerate, Ryunosuke. ...We both know you can't even manage a minute."
Hm? Oh, sorry, yes. I...just don't really like blades.
"Oh... Those don't seem like the words of a man with a large katana slung from his waist."
That's not a blade; that's Kazuma's soul.

What causes the most pain to any man? The answer, of course, is breaking one of your favorite plates. 'What am I going to eat my dinner off now?' you cry! ...But no one hears your sorrow.
It seems to me...there are many facets to people's personalities. And like a jewel, the light plays off them in complex patterns, illuminating their actions and their motives.
Yes, the prawns are still swimming and the anemones are still swaying. Obviously, I've been looking after them carefully. At first, I used to drool whenever I looked at those juicy prawns, but not any more. They're like part of the family now.
"One might wonder about a possible relationship between the defendant and this coroner woman. Or perhaps between the defendant and the handsome prosecutor just there."
(This woman...may be more astute than I've been giving her credit for.)
[mod note] sorry the bots are down again, twitter has decided i'm not allowed to use the v1 api endpoint anymore 🫠
i'll *try* to get them back up sometime this week but if it takes longer than like an hour i'm just moving these things to tumblr fuck you el*n
The name of the armband's owner is very finely embroidered here. 'Kazuma Asogi'... One day, when I'm back in Japan and I've earned my official law qualification there... ...I'll wear one band on each arm. ...That should make me a very well-balanced lawyer, I suppose.
