Gunslinger Girl - Il Teatrino - 02
This episode we see the past of a young boy named Pinocchio. It seems that Cristiano took him under his wing and trained him to become an assassin. It’s quite sad that he shoots the little girl after killing her father. Reminds me of that time Rico shot the boy who worked at the hotel in season one.
Pinocchio seems to live near a little girl named Aurora as well. I think it’s quite obvious that she has a thing for him as they walk down the street. However, the feeling doesn’t seem to be mutual. She seems to be brushed off as he leaves for Genoa. My bet is that she’ll become involved somehow, but let’s hope that she doesn’t get killed.
Cristiano also tells Pinocchio to work with Franco and Franca. Franco seems to be overly suspicious as he enters the building. They seem to be working on a bridge bombing that will help Padania. Franca tells Pinocchio her views about not getting innocent people involved and Pinocchio sees this as a hindrance. I now have more respect for Franca at least now.
Section II seems to be following this case and will most likely meet Pinocchio next episode. I have high expectations for the next episode. So let’s hope it has some quality in it.
