Where is all the romance?

One thing I always found odd within the Ace Attorney series is the lack of romance (even subtle romance). I just recently finished DD, and played through the original trilogy + AJ + Investigations 1.

I'm currently watching a playthrough of SoJ, and I'm just a little shocked at the lack of romance throughout the entire series. I'd love to see someone fall in love, but maybe I'm just missing the spirit of the story, I guess?

Does anyone else feel similar to me?
