[AAI2 SPOILERS] Somewhere I Belong — Ace Attorney animatic

After the backstory animatic (Run Boy Run) and the end of the game animatic (Mastermind) here's the post-canon animatic because there's apparently still a lot of things I have to express about Simon Keyes! (i might actually be slowly going insane how did I spent so much time on this why can't i make narumitsu animatics like everyone else) There are in fact a few people that are equally if not more insane than me about Simon and I have to thank them for this, your comments on the last videos and on instagram motivated me to keep getting very little sleep in order to make more content!! (that's a good thing... i think) I have no idea if everything makes sense on screen so I can explain a few specific things in more detail! Aside from Dogen (who first decides to give Simon some space, and the realizes leaving him alone will only make things worse) Sebastian is the first one to want to have a conversation with Simon a few months after the events of the game. He visited Blaise once, which didn't make him feel better, and then realized he might have more to talk about with Simon about shitty father figures..... He thought about it for a while, and told Kay, who had the same idea a while ago but had no real intention to carry it out. Worried about Sebastian, she decides to go with him. Simon really isn't willing to open up the first time they visit, but that encourages them to keep coming a few times, together or separately. They slowly make progress as Simon realizes that he does need people to talk to, not about the heavy stuff at least initially (he keeps that for Dogen), but just to maintain human contact as he already isolated himself among the prisoners. Eventually he starts to really appreciate the effort Kay and Sebastian make to come talk to him, works on his trust issues and becomes more comfortable interacting naturally showing his real personality and not the one he faked with Kay, Miles or Regina during aai2. (the only one with whom he was almost natural was.... Knightley..... and well that's an all other problem) I also thought of a few things with Miles and other characters but as a non-english speaker writing this has already taken me way more time that it should have, I'll update the description later if I bring myself to explain more stuff! Hope you enjoyed the rambling and the animatic in any case, don't hesitate to share your many complicated feelings about the man who masterminded our hearts, and i'll see you around!
