I really don't know why, but there's something so comforting to me with the way Gina holds Toby. Just looking at it usually makes me happy. I could literally sit and watch Toby's tail wag away for hours and I would be happy. It's just so cute. They both have silly little happy faces, and Toby's little tongue sticking out just makes it cuter. The way Gina has both her hands holding him up is just so cute. A hand for him to sit on, and another holding up his little legs. (Which are actually strangely long if you screenshot the part where he jumps at Ryunosuke. You know what I'm talking about.) It's kind of like a constant little hug. I'm saying little too much but I really don't know what else to use.
The sniffing mode hold is super cute too. She's literally holding him like a gun. His hind legs are standing on one of her hands, and her other hand is holding him up by the middle of his body, just behind his front legs, which are kind of pushing against her hand, like how cats will do when they're about to jump. (I guess "as dogs will do" is better wording, but I'm more familiar with cats and I don't think I've ever seen a dog begin a jump like that before, but I'm sure they probably do.) And of course, Toby's tail is still wagging super fast.
I seriously love them so much, they're so adorable for no reason. Toby is my second favorite video game dog. If Missile from Ghost Trick didn't exist, he'd be my #1. Chief Inspector Toby, I love you.
Even when Gina is mad, it doesn't stop her from holding Toby, just as a cute little puppy like him deserves.
TLDR; Gina and Toby are adorable and the best characters in TGAA and nothing will change my mind
