I'm glad you're enjoying GAA! :D I played the games with my brother a while back and loved them; they're so much fun.
TBH, my very first thought when you said "second case" was "oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss". Ace Attorney mentor is such a fraught occupation... I'm even sorrier to hear about poor Zuko! :( It must be especially hard when your fave is the only canon catboy representation in the game so far.*
* GAA's artist gave the main cast official fursonas, and Kazuma's is Nyasougi.
Wait, now that I double-check, Ryunosuke actually can understand the English spoken in the first case! It was a confusing decision to put it in an unreadable font; I suppose it was just to make it clear that Brett was speaking a different language from everyone else? I wonder if it was in plain English in the original Japanese version.
It's the same incomprehensible font in the Japanese version; the only parts in plain English are "Shut up!" and a few words of gratuitous English (indicated by cursive font in the localization). My brother and I were also confused initially, given that Ryuunosuke is the PoV character and is clearly fluent in English (for a brief, exciting moment, we speculated that she was secretly French and banking on no one being able to tell the difference), but I guess they just wanted to show that she was speaking a foreign language and needed a translator.
IIRC, the localized script indicates which language is being spoken through honorifics: Ryuunosuke says "Miss Susato" when speaking English and "Susato-san" when speaking Japanese, for instance. And yeah, since Sholmes says he doesn't know much Japanese, I assume they speak English with him.
Frankly, making Ryunosuke sleep in the wardrobe on the ship is a tragic waste of an 'only one bed' scenario. Come on, let me believe he and Kazuma shared the bed at least sometimes. Maybe they tried sharing the bed for a few nights and then Ryunosuke insisted on sleeping in the wardrobe because he was having too many feelings.
It is entirely implausible that Kazuma wouldn't at least suggest sharing the bed. Ryuunosuke probably would freak out about it, but there is no way that Kazuma of all people is so risk-averse he'd draw the line there.
