Epilogue A: Una Nuova Passione
Two months later, Roma.
It was a normal morning for most of the thugs that garrisoned the headquarters, but normality had been a difference compared to the previous years under Diavolo's control.
While many in the rebellious ranks of Passione had thought that Risotto would have taken over as the new leader, the damage Diavolo caused him in the last battle for Passione's and Italy's survival had left him crippled and unwilling to pursue an active role within the important administration of the organization. Instead, the leader of the Squadra was keen to put his weight behind Giorno Giovanna and his current hard work.
A fifteen years-old being left in charge may be seen as the beginning of real issues, but it would be a lie to say that these two months hadn't been something of a rebirth for their business. Expansion on the drug-related works had been curbed entirely and funds had been relocated for classic casino-related plans. Companies were subsidized, the government's hold was lessened as per recent agreements and Passione was pretty much taking a more public approach in its privacy.
Giorno was known as the boss, but no one would really believe among law enforcers that he was the real leader, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong. Despite his cleverness and understanding of the general issues of Passione, Giorno was not experienced when it came to specific specialists and their needs- not as much as Bucciarati. From a small squad that had slowly seen a rise through their last job, to the ones that determined Passione's orders.
And while that may sound frustrating from a low-tier grunt's point of view, the pay was good and it didn't feel as horrible to be a criminal. In fact, it was surprisingly better than it had been years ago. While it was true that their business model had reverted to the mafia's traditional roots, investments were made to allow multiple companies to be born. Dirty Money recycled for Legit cash, thus fueling not only the mafia's treasury, but the Italian one too.
New schools were established and old ones restored. Alice la Bella(1) was behind that sort of move, focusing on 'fostering childhood into a safe environment', while the security over the entire organization was captained by her partner, Medra la Bruta(2), as intense drilling was forced upon the enforcers to guarantee efficiency in the system but also quality in their many tasks.
In the span of two months, Passione was reorganized into a state-of-art crime organization which rivaled many all around the world. Giorno had made it, his dream to become a Gang-Star realized before the eyes of many as the rest of his team was quick to capitalize on this matter and provide new ideas.
But as Giorno led for the most part, Bruno Bucciarati was the 'Regent' of Passione, the man that was teaching Giorno about Passione's secrets together with Risotto. The blond was bound to be shaped by their clashing ideals, but the current strong-mind of his made him a good idealist who knew how to apply his ideas within realistic boundaries.
Without even putting much effort, Giorno found himself revered by the entire Passione. Even those that had enjoyed Diavolo's rule the most were quite loyal to his administration as it still favored their businesses in most part. Any loyalist to the old regime was taken into account and dealt with swiftly.
Two months, and the world had changed immensely. Questions regarding the events tied to these changes were instantly shot down without hesitation. Not literally, but no one wanted to ask as the known story was that 'Diavolo did something, and Risotto and Giorno solved it'. Nothing else was mentioned. Nothing about the sight of monsters, the potential end of the world, or the fact that something akin to magical madness had unfolded through that matter.
Only confusion and curiosity, as it was expected by those that brokered that sort of background. Giorno was, of course, unsure if this was good, but his cousin had promptly told him that it was for the best to keep the world blissfully unaware of the mess itself. Especially when the Church had made it clear any 'surprise revelation' may end poorly for him and the entire planet as a whole.
A very unpleasant ultimatum, but one the young man agreed to not go against. There was just so much bad that would come by being stupidly dominant in that regard, and it was best to keep this as a big secret. After all, the truth would feel more like a massive lie than a genuine case of honesty.
With Italy turning away from the years of sorrow that had unfolded after the Years of Lead, Giorno could tell that the misadventures of his cousin and her tiny entourage were far from over.

First Epilogue, two more down the list. With the next one being about Sakura and the last one... a secret.
Glossary:
1- Alice la Bella/Nursery Rhyme: Alice from her Fate Extra's Master, Alice, and 'La Bella' means 'the Beautiful';
2- Medra la Bruta/Mordred: Medra from Medraut which is another name to Mordred's legend, and 'La Bruta' is the feminine version of 'The Brute', to not confuse with 'la Brutta' or 'the Ugly'. She will stab you if you do.
