"Your thoughts become your attitudes, which become your actions, which become your behavior, which become your habits, which become your lifestyle, and inevitably determine your outcomes.

Previous Chapter. Anaconda di Nebbia.
"Kanna-san said that she did not remember her life before Cervello. Besides, our world is not the same as hers anymore." Tsuna said. "I don't think she had any idea on how to find her past self."
Of course, the information about her past self was not the only thing they want to know. But, Tsuna was adamant in not asking Kanna anything more.
In the end, they have to find her past self by themselves without any clues.
Fortunately, Reborn realized that they do have a clue and he knows someone that designed Box Weapon. From there, the next step was obvious.
But, it seemed Verde has no intention to share the identity of the user of Anaconda di Nebbia.
Chapter 2. The Cervello.
10 years later.
Tsuna was inside his office alone. He was sitting on his reclined chair behind his desk with his eyes closed as if sleeping.
A few months ago.
"Decimo, with the war over, you can't postpone this anymore." An older man said.
Tsuna frowned unhappily. "We are still recovering from the war. You can't possibly ask me to marry at a time like this."
The man sighed. "Decimo, this is necessary for the future of Vongola."
"Brow-san, must we do this now?"
"Decimo, you are not the first Vongola Boss to do this." Nie brow reasoned. "Besides, the higher-up gave you a year to find your own bride."
Tsuna sighed. "I don't want to marry yet, Brow-san."
Brow sighed. "This isn't about what you want, Decimo since you failed to find your own bride. It will be up to the higher-up to decide that."
Tsuna clenched his fists. "Fine, but I will only marry the one that I approved of."
"The higher-up will not like that, Decimo."
"No, Brow-san. The higher-up will not do as they please without my approval." Tsuna said firmly.
Yesterday.
"We have found another candidate to be your wife." A man said amusedly.
Tsuna frowned at him. "Already? It's only been 3 days."
"Decimo, I am sorry to say this, but it needs to be done." The man said apologetically. "No matter how many candidates you have refused."
"Who is it this time?"
"We don't know."
Tsuna raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean by that, Ganauche-san?"
"Well, the higher-up is getting desperate," Ganauche said with a sigh. "They consulted the Cervello."
Tsuna looked surprised. "What! Why!"
Ganauche grimaced. "Decimo, Cervello is often involved in a marriage contract."
"Are you telling me that they going to get me stuck in a marriage contract." Tsuna frowned. "How could they do this?"
"Calm down, Decimo. It isn't as bad as you think." Ganauche tried to calm him. "The Cervello will send someone to meet you to discuss the content of the contract."
"When will they come?"
"Tomorrow."
"That is very soon."
"Well, Cervello isn't the type to waste time."
Tsuna sighed tiredly.

Tsuna opened his eyes when there was a knock.
"Come in." He said.
His storm guardian entered. "Juudaime, the Cervello representative has arrived.
"Sent them in, Hayato."
Hayato frowned. "Juudaime, are you sure about this?"
"Not really, but I will see this through," Tsuna said comfortingly. "Don't worry, Hayato. I won't get involved if I don't like it."
Hayato hesitantly nodded and left the office. Then, a woman who looked like a Cervello entered.
She has long pink hair and dark skin. She wore a long sleeves black dress and black high boots.
She walked confidently to him. She stopped near his desk and tilted her head in greeting.
"Buongiorno, Signore Vongola Decimo (Good morning, Sir Vongola Tenth)." She said placidly.
Tsuna was intrigued. Tsuna did not know why, but she was definitely different from the other candidates. It might be because she was a Cervello, which was the problem because Tsuna did not trust Cervello. After the war with Millefiore, he could not exactly like them after all.
But, Tsuna will give this one the benefit of the doubt.
{K~H~R}
Present.
Tsuna was inside the infirmary, where his future children resided. Usually, he would sit beside Suiren's bed because her condition is more critical, but that day he decided to sit beside Suzuran's bed.
"Suzuran, how are you feeling?" Tsuna asked cheerily.
Suzuran, who was sitting despondently on the bed only grunt at him. Tsuna ignored his unenthused responses and continue to talk to him.
"Do you want to eat?"
"No."
Tsuna sighed in disappointment.
Suzuran had been like that since he woke up 6 days after they arrived in Italy. It seemed his body went into an early sleep cycle after Suiren donated her flames to Suzuran. Though, Ryouhei was sure that his condition was better than before.
But, unlike Suzuran, Suiren is in a coma and that was the reason for Suzuran's bad mood. We did not tell him about the cause of her condition, but, he somehow certain that it was his fault, probably, his intuition.
Tsuna hummed and ruffled Suzuran's hair comfortingly.
"Please, Suzuran. You would not get better if you continue acting like this."
Suzuran bowed his head and clenched his fists. While Tsuna continued combing Suzuran's hair with his hand.
"Don't worry about Suiren. We are doing everything to get her back." Tsuna said in comfort.
"Tsunayoshi-san." Suzuran suddenly spoke.
He rose his head and looked at Tsuna with teary eyes. "There is nothing I can do to help her."
"It's all right. You don't have to do anything."
"Tsunayoshi-san, I am so useless." Suzuran sobbed.
Tsuna looked at him sadly. He slid into Suzuran's bed and hugged him.
"Just rest, Suzuran. Everything will be all right."
"I don't want to sleep." He protested.
"Don't worry you will wake up soon," Tsuna reassured him.
"You will wake me up?"
"Yes, I will."
Tsuna rubbed Suzuran's back comfortingly and soon he fell asleep on Tsuna's lap.
Tsuna then turned his attention to the chair he occupied before and found Kanna was sitting there. She gave Suzuran a sad smile.
Near Suiren's bed, he saw Corvo was sleeping on a chair. Tsuna pitied him for falling asleep again because of Kanna.
"Kanna-san, how are you?"
She tilted her head in greeting. "I am fine."
They were both in silent after that.
Until Tsuna spoke. "Do you thing Reborn will get the information from Verde?"
She shook her head. "I am not sure Signore Verde will share that kind of information."
Tsuna raised his eyebrows. "You sound like you know Verde."
"I read a lot about his research on flames."
"Oh, I see."
They were in silent again.
"You're right that I have no idea of the whereabouts of my past self. But, I think that my past self might be around Signore Verde." Kanna informed him.
Tsuna looked at her thoughtfully. "Oh, why do you think so?"
"In my youth, I often stalked Signore Verde." She admitted unashamedly.
Tsuna was surprised. "Did you have a crush on him or something?"
She looked at him uncertainly. "I can't say for sure because I only remember it vaguely."
"Oh." Tsuna looked sad at that. "So, there are some things you still remember."
"I only forgot my memories before I joined Cervello. While the rest I only remember vaguely." Kanna explained. "I remember that I used to stalk Signore Verde a few months before I got married."
Tsuna looked intrigued. "Really?"
Kanna nod. "I used to think that Leader chose me to marry Decimo so I will stop using Cervello's funds to stalk Signore Verde across the countries."
"Seriously." Tsuna raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
"Well, that was not the reason of course," Kanna said.
Tsuna shook his head in amusement. "Then what is the reason?"
Kanna smiled mysteriously. "That's a secret."
