He can remember (which was far, so, so, far) when there was a time when wasn't sick. No it hadn't always been like that, in his memory he can remember how once when he barely reached his mothers knees his absentee father returned for the seemingly first (even with is long memory he couldnt remember his father visiting before then even when his mother said as such when he came) and last time for many years the only interaction after was hasty phone calls and phony postcards and expensive presents.

With him he brought a few men although only one stayed the night, he said his name was Timeteo but he said to call him Nonno or ojiisan and with them brought a bad feeling.

One where Tsuna had only felt that bad was when he and his mother was going to but grocerys and he got lost only for a man to offer to help him and tried to give him candy only for Tsuna's mom to show up and wack him with her purse and call the cops. (Tsuna then had a long. long talk with the police and his mother about stranger danger.)

To the five year old mind back then was that if he got the feeling then the man was bad too but when he tried to tell his mom, she just laughed and told Tsuna he could trust his new Grandfather. (A choice that she would forever regret and one that made tsuna first know the bitter taste of betrayal.)

So even though he was wary tsuna trusted him, because his mother said he could.

(Tsuna would then have his flaed sealed. He would later find out that his flames were so strong and pure that they harmonized the very sickness so that it wouldn't hurt him. After his flames were sealed, well there was nothing holding them back.)

(He would later be rushed into the emergency center when after his Father and Grandfather left his mother went to awaken Tsuna only to find she couldn't do so.)

(Tsuna would later find that everything now took energy that he didn't have, so he did poorly in school causing him to be bullied and ridiculed by his fellow students and his teachers. It is at school that he learned that having what looked like a tattoo is not normal and for that he was ridiculed and named a 'Delinquent'.

Tsuna was accused of faking his illness from then on and was failed for every missing assignment and missed class further lessening his grades even when every time he turned in something it was an A+. Tsuna was also later accused of cheating so Tsuna figured why put in effort that he didn't have if he was going to fail anyway, so from age 6 and on he was known as Loser Tsuna, Dame Tsuna, Faker Tsuna, and Cheater Tsuna.)

(It is for that reason that Tsuna first met his best friend, something that made his sickness and failure in school so, so worth it.)
