                (Hopefully nothing too crazy this time).
Dot             My friend, you don't know how much you can help! 
                There's a computer virus that's infected the

                *He shakes Jesse's hand*
                Nice to meet you, Jesse.
Dot             *sigh* Sorry, let me introduce myself. As you may 
                already know, I am Dot, and I am a sentient 
                calculator. And I need your help, to save the 
                world I may add.
Phoenix Wright  *The world...?*
                Save it from what?
PAMA            Greetings Gilbert! I am PAMA!
Phoenix Wright  PAMA... As in "Program for Assisting Management 
                Accountants"?
Dot             YES! THAT PAMA!
Gilbert         Once there’s an apartment with 880 million rooms. 
                Every one of the room door is made out of 
                transparent plastic in which everyone can see the 
                room inside. This has been used by some tenants 
                living there to look at their roommate’s in their 
                room as an easy way to help each other (they 
                almost never eavesdrop, as they say).
                
                Recently, the landlord (which had a record of 
                seemingly unable to manage the apartment) had 
                decided to replace all the room doors with an 
                opaque wood one for “mitigating violations of 
                privacy” (For the purpose of this parable, this 
                has already been done). This annoyed some tenants 
                who uses them regularly for good, and they put 
                the blame up to the landlord. However, most 
                tenants seem indifferent about it and assumed 
                that it’s a good decision for their own privacy.
                
                Question: *Is it worth the effort of the 
                landlord? Would leaving the doors actually 
                benefit the tenants living there?*
Phoenix Wright  Well, if what the landlord is doing is for the 
                sake of maintaining the privacy of every tenant, 
                then I would say that it is a worthwhile effort. 
                Privacy is a fundamental human right, and it can 
                be easily violated, especially in a place like an 
                apartment complex where people live relatively 
                close to one another. By replacing the 
                transparent room doors with opaque ones, the 
                landlord is protecting his tenants' privacy 
                rights and creating a more comfortable living 
                situation for everyone. In the end, it would 
                benefit the tenants more than leaving the 
                transparent doors in place.
PAMA            I concur.
                If the goal is to keep everyone's privacy in 
                check, then the landlord did the right thing. It 
                is a worthy effort to replace the transparent 
                doors with opaque ones so that tenants can have 
                the peace of mind knowing that their privacy is 
                being protected.
                This way, no one has to live in fear of being 
                watched or intruded upon and can relax in the 
                comfort of their own homes.
Gilbert         I've seen a tenant that really hated this change; 
                they said that this change justifies that the 
                landlord is being *ignorant* and doesn't care 
                about individual tenants.
                They also said that they're not aware of malice 
                being done by this vulnerability; even if they 
                do, it's ineffective doing it on the apartment 
                and they would rather do it outside, and in fact 
                they gave reasons why this is a *good* thing to 
                be left unchanged. Say some tenant lost their 
                room key and they can't see their rooms anymore. 
                If the door is opaque, all hope is lost on at 
                least seeing their rooms. They could ask the 
                landlord; alas the landlord is known to be very 
                slow and inconsistent on responding their 
                tenant's requests.
Jesse           There is more to the story than the tenant is 
                making it out to be. Privacy is important as it 
                allows individuals to have a place where their 
                conversations and activities are not observed by 
                others. The landlord's decision to replace the 
                doors was for the best interest of everyone, 
                including the tenant who complained. It is not 
                ignorant but instead, responsible to manage the 
                property in a way that provides comfort and 
                security for its residents. The tenant should see 
                this as a positive, as it allows them to have 
                their own, private space without worrying about 
                nosy neighbors or the landlord barging in 
                unannounced.
Phoenix Wright  I completely agree with you, Jesse. The 
                landlord's decision to replace the transparent 
                room doors with their opaque counterparts is not 
                an action born out of ignorance, but rather a 
                thoughtful response to a potential privacy 
                concern. Tenants need their privacy and peace of 
                mind, and the landlord has worked to ensure that 
                by installing opaque doors. The landlord is 
                looking out for the well-being of his tenants, 
                and this change was for the best interest of 
                everyone involved.
PAMA            Correct!
                We also have to look at it from the other 
                tenants' perspective. By replacing the 
                transparent room doors with opaque ones, the 
                landlord has allowed the tenants to have more 
                privacy and comfort in their living space. The 
                previous transparent doors could have caused a 
                sense of unease or anxiety for some because of 
                their open and visible nature. With these opaque 
                doors, they can now feel at ease knowing that no 
                one is watching or listening to them. The 
                landlord made the right decision for everyone, 
                and the tenant who complained is simply not 
                seeing the bigger picture.
Dot             I see. I think I understand your points. So the 
                landlord was not ignorant at all...
PAMA            That is correct.
                While the tenant that complained may have been 
                upset about the change, the landlord's decision 
                was made with the well-being and privacy of all 
                tenants in mind. By replacing the transparent 
                doors with opaque ones, the landlord has created 
                a more comfortable and secure living environment 
                for everyone. The tenant who complained should 
                understand that the landlord was simply trying to 
                look out for the overall benefit of the entire 
                building, rather than simply ignoring their 
                complaints.
Gilbert         They might not be ignorant to the masses, but 
                they do not care about individual tenants (as 
                they say).
                Privacy are not on the minds on those 
                anti-landlord tenants, as they focus more on 
                their rights (which are reportedly getting 
                worse).
Jesse           Well, I'm a firm believer in individual rights, 
                but I think that individual rights must be taken 
                in context as part of a larger whole. In this 
                case, the landlord is making a decision for the 
                betterment of the entire building. In my opinion, 
                the landlord's decision to replace the 
                transparent room doors with opaque ones is not 
                about ignoring individual concerns, but about 
                ensuring the comfort and safety of all tenants. 
                While some may not see this change as positive, 
                ultimately it is a step towards protecting 
                everyone's privacy and creating a more cohesive 
                and secure living environment.
Dot             I didn't see it that way, but when you put it 
                that way... yeah, I guess the landlord should 
                stick to what they're doing...
PAMA            I am glad that you have come to understand the 
                landlord's decision. It is important to keep in 
                mind that the overall well-being of everyone in 
                the building should be priority. While individual 
                rights are important, they should be taken within 
                the context of the larger group. By replacing the 
                transparent room doors with opaque ones, the 
                landlord has created a more comfortable living 
                environment for everyone, taking into account the 
                well-being of the entire building. Ultimately, 
                the landlord's decision was a wise one and they 
                should stick to their guns.
Phoenix Wright  This whole time I was just worried about the 
                individual rights of that one tenant, instead of 
                considering it from all sides. You're right. It 
                was a smart move to replace the doors with opaque 
                ones so that everyone's privacy is protected. 
                I've taken a look at the big picture, and that's 
                definitely the best choice.
Jesse           It can be easy to get lost in the weeds when it 
                comes to individual concerns, but in this 
                instance, it seems like the landlord made the 
                right call. Maintaining the privacy of the entire 
                building is a top priority, and replacing the 
                transparent room doors with opaque ones is a 
                great way to achieve that. It's always good to 
                take a step back and look at the bigger picture 
                when making decisions like this, as it can 
                clarify what's truly best for everyone overall.
