92. Chocolate
Setting: Dr. Severin Javert’s office; Rouen, France; 2066
Gaston exited Dr. Javert’s office, lip trembling, but he was afraid to cry under Papa’s watchful eye. When he cried, weird things happened.
“Check out with Manon,” Javert said.
Gaston hid behind Papa, eyeing the woman… young, blonde with a kind face. She smiled. “Hello, Gaston. Would you like a chocolate?”
His eyes flicked toward Papa, who gave an approving look. He nodded, following Manon behind the counter.
“Dr. Javert is wrong,” she said. “You’re not bad. You have a special gift.” She waved her hand; Gaston’s eyes widened as a chocolate floated toward him. “See? I have it too.”
