“Love is merely a madness."

Shiro-chan's been living with me for a long time, now. I still get chills thinking about all the love I expressed for her both before and after Sorae's death. Somewhere in that little birdcage in her head, the Wretched Egg's waiting to come out... I only wonder how long that's going to take. Shiro herself thinks that I really am her friend 'Toto,' and I've been content to let her think that. After all, the closer she gets to me, the further away I can try to pry her from Ganta. ☆ Till then, I'll keep giving her candy, sweets, and attention. This is, after all, the first time she's been outside the walls of Deadman Wonderland in a long, long time. At least, without killing anyone.

Just thinking about the Wretched Egg sends a shiver up my spine. The love I've felt for her since the moment she awakened and painted the halls of the medical research facility red with the blood of almost all of the scientists except for myself and Sorae... my mouth waters at the thought. I can only hope she repeats that, here, in Genessia. She's been oddly quiet, actually letting the Shiro side of her personality out. I wonder why... whatever she's planning, I can't wait to see it. It's been far too long since I've been able to properly express my love for her.

Crow's a good Deadman, and he's got an impressive win-loss ratio in the Carnival Corpse. He was actually favored to win the third tournament before Woodpecker showed up, and before Tamaki ruined everything with his stupid Forgery project. That's about all I have to say about this guy, though. He's not Shiro, he's not Woodpecker, and he's certainly not my beloved Wretched Egg. So as far as he goes, I've got zero percent interest.
