Case 1, Part 2

I normally dislike witnesses that can't communicate to you in english. Machi in 4-3 is the obvious example. I like what they did with this woman though, who speaks in English to everyone else's Japanese. her character design is pretty fun, though I wish she had more animations. I'm guessing she'll get more as we peel away the layers. that hat is dying to go flying.

my first "oh, I'm an idiot" moment happened while trying to solve the story behind this woman. a photo is produced with a burn mark. for some stupid reason, I thought the arm here was the woman's, and it took me entirely too long to realize that it was actually the victim's. I presented the evidence and walked through the motions, completely confused, until I realized that I'm just a moron.

it was completely obvious that Brett (weird that they call her by her male-sounding last name given how feminine she is, but I guess it fits the japan theme) was going to be able to speak Japanese, but I still loved the way they teased it out. the font for English was fun and I really liked when they dropped "No" out of nowhere. Brett's milkshake clearly brings all the boys to the yard, and they even love it when she mocks their barbarism.

we get a new "pursue" mechanic that seems like it'll be the game's main twist, and suggests that I'm going to have a lot of multiple witness testimonies going forward. not sure how to feel here yet. regardless, this case gets a lot more fun once Brett drops the facade. her "SHUT UP" is amazing and I love her snobbiness. usually these kinds of uppity witnesses are painful but the way she does it kind of exudes style. it helps when the audience is a Payne and my idiot protagonist.

we're just about to lose when we get a new "hold it" voice sample, which as everyone knows is a Big Deal. Susato Mikotoba seems like she'll be important from her first sentence. an immediate "to be continued" only further confirms that point.
