We get that unique brand of homecoming that happens when you go back to your college/home town where you're big shit, but you've grown significantly since the last time you were there and you're growing past the people there. Oh, and a major shadowy magical conspiracy that you've gotten caught up in because your mentor has called you in to be his Phoenix Wright. It's a great turn to watch Aelis realize that the place she wants to be is in Lone Pines, and what looks like hopefully set up for the future at the end. Would love to see more of this, but if this is where we leave her for now, it's a great place to take a deep breath.
