Demo Leftovers

In March 2015, a playable demo version of Aviary Attorney appeared at the convention EGX Rezzed. Although this demo was never released to the public, some scripts that seem to belong to it are still present in the final game's files.

court1.json

Presumably, this script would have run upon starting the demo.

Officer: What chance! 
Sparrowson: I don't think it was fate, officer. We were just out of pan au chocolates.
Officer: Tell me Falcon, do you remember what happened on this spot 18 years ago?
I remember.
Remind me.

Falcon: I remember. Rich and poor stood shoulder to shoulder and cried, "no more oppression! Equality for all!".
Officer: Hah! What a romanticized view of events.
I was there that day, Falcon. It wasn't a rallying cry of equality. It was naive, privileged students and gutter trash

The only music track in the game derived from a Berlioz composition is Volerti's theme, so he might've been the intended speaker here.
