Case 4, conclusion

I have to say, Joan's conclusion wasn't as good as I had hoped. it was... fine. but I wanted to really dig in the screws. instead, John Garrideb -- who I like a lot! -- shows up to be her witness partner. it seems like both of them are a little more remorseful than I would have expected from the lady who was abusing her husband not two days prior. apparently it's just that kind of relationship?

we prod John, find a piece of a blade and eventually tie it to the weapon. it's pretty much over there. the last piece of evidence - the book in the victim's hand -- didn't even really make sense to me. I got it fairly quickly, because you don't have much evidence, but I didn't really get how that was the big piece of evidence that put the case away. instead of Joan going down with a bang, she... faints, and John catches her, and probably hurts himself more in the process? I don't know. like most things with this game, it's unfulfilling.

we reach the end of the case and take up residence in Sholmes's attic. this is to be our law office, I guess. the game loudly hints at some Bad Stuff coming in the near future, much like it did with Kazuma. case 4 feels more like a case 3, very middle of the road, and it's weird to think that this might be the conclusion.
