Reaction: Chapter 53

[hemoeroticism]

Ahh... well... that was ironic. [ And that looked rather painful, even by his standards. But... he suddenly claps his hands. ]



At least I got my wish in the end, though, right? ✩ Even Toto and that girl did.

It's all up to her, now. I kept my promise. Now let's see what she'll do with her new freedom...

[hemoeroticism]

[ Of course she'd be upset. She loved Ganta, Hagire wasn't stupid, he knew how she felt about him. He just thinks it's hilariously cruel how Ganta wants to kill the Wretched Egg without realizing that she and Shiro are two sides of the same coin, and at this point are completely inextricable from one another. Especially without the Mother Goose System. ]

Sshh... don't worry. There's a reason I went to find you right away... ✩

[ ... just not the reason he's implying. Sorry, Shiro. ]

[taintedwhite]

[That's mean, Hagire. Trying to deceive poor Shiro like this, especially when Wretched Egg can here it.

Shiro clutches Toto's suit in her hand, clinging to him as she keeps her face buried into his shoulder.]

W-what reason?

[hemoeroticism]

[ He knows. And even if he's fully away Wretched Egg is listening, he hasn't lied once. ]

To make sure you were safe, of course. ✩

[ ... which is technically true. ]

[taintedwhite]

Safe?

...Shiro doesn't remember Toto coming to help Shiro back then. Shiro only remembers tears and pain.

[hemoeroticism]

... okay, so maybe I wasn't there right away. But when I came to the Tower, finding you was my first priority. ✩

[taintedwhite]

Ah. Okay...

[She's not going to doubt what he says.]

[hemoeroticism]

Humans are funny things, aren't they? ✩ But don't worry, you'll be safe on my watch!

[ ... for the most part. ]

[taintedwhite]

Shiro can defend herself alone. Shiro's strong!

[hemoeroticism]

Aceman seems to think you need protecting. Is she wrong? ✩

[taintedwhite]

But Shiro is Aceman. [It is hard to explain. But it's true nonetheless. Shiro is sure of that: She's Ganta's Aceman. And whenever she meets Aceman in her dreams, she looks just like her.]

[hemoeroticism]

Right... fair enough. ✩

[taintedwhite]

Ganta can rescue Shiro too, now. Because he's a Deadman. Like Toto.

[hemoeroticism]

He'd have to show up first.

[taintedwhite]

[Low blow.] Hmpf.

...He's being slow. But he'll come.

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, I don't doubt that at all. Hummingbird is there, and somehow I don't think he'd want me to be the only one taking care of you. ✩
