002. CANDIES
"A-a-ah, Toto-kun~" Shiro sings happily, perched on top of a small seat.
He grins at her, "do you like it here, Shiro-chan?"
"Shiro likes it here with Toto-kun~"
Toto claps his hand together, "yay~" he picks up a piece of candy and passes it to her. "Toto likes it here with Shiro too."
"Can Ganta come one day?" The candy looks delicious. She takes a bite.
"No. No Ganta." The candy doesn't taste as good now. "Only Toto and Shiro~"
She pouts and bites nervously on her lower lip. "Ah… Ganta-kun can't come…"
"Why do you want Ganta anyway?" He frowns, tugs at a piece of her white hair, and pulls her closer to his body. "I, no I*, can be better than Mockingbird. Don't you think so, Shiro?"
She looks at him with wide, child-like red eyes through white lashes and blinks. "S-Shiro doesn't like to pick!"
"Ah, uh…A-ha!" he picks up a piece of hard purple candy and passes it to her. "Eat this."
She exclaims happily. "Yum~"
"This is Ganta."
She chews and spites it out quickly, hacking. "Ew! Toto tried to poison Shiro!"
"No," he waggles a finger at her, "that was Ganta."
"That was… Ganta-kun?"
He nods and hands her another. "This is Toto!"
Hesitant, she takes it slowly. "O…Okay."
He watches her chew with a saccharine smile. "How does it taste?"
"Yuh-Yuh-YUM~" She cries, clapping her hands together.
He joins her, clapping happily. "That was Toto. Who tastes better: Ganta or Toto?"
"Toto-kun, Toto-kun, Toto-kun!"
He grins devilishly and tosses another piece of purple candy at her. "This is all your friends, Shiro."
* in the manga, he keeps getting the female and the male form of "I" wrong.
