i just thought this was an important contrast of how two important women in Phoenix’s life honestly regarded him
On the left, he was her burden. A means to an end in her quest to get away with murder. Even though she had only dealt with him twice, Dahlia absolutely despised Phoenix calling him unreliable and found him “disgusting”. Dahlia, who cared only about herself, was ready to “deal with him at a moment’s notice” because he was evidence– or at least held evidence. He was the one thing stopping her from getting away free, from winning.
One the right, he is her source of hope; her closest friend outside of Kurain Village and in the city. He was the one who saved her from being found guilty and found the true culprit of her sister’s murder. Maya absolutely trusts Phoenix, and puts her complete faith in him even when the situation is horrible. Maya, who’s main family were all gone since a young age (a parallel to Phoenix’s trial when he was in grade school; the concept of loneliness), found support and relief in Phoenix Wright. He was the only one who faced death…and came back for her.
interestingly enough, his encounter and later with relationship with Dahlia was sudden but occurred smoothly and ended in tragedy.
His encounter with Maya was a frightful one, hectic, and chaotic as they had both lost someone they treasured deeply. Their partnership, however, had immensely improved from that and continues to do so.
