I suppose the hero's mentor rarely lasts long

Either the weather's getting warmer, or the air conditioning in the office is getting worse. Or possibly both.

Have finished the first case of Apollo Justice. The protagonists of the Phoenix Wright series really do have problems with their beloved mentors, don't they?

To Tu Fu from Shantung

You ask how I spend my time --
I nestle against a treetrunk
and listen to autumn winds
in the pines all night and day.

Shantung wine can't get me drunk.
The local poets bore me.
My thoughts remain with you,
like the Wen River, endlessly flowing.

-- Li Po, tr. Hamil
