Location: Casa Hotel
Room #270
Tsuna screamed into the pillow on the bed while Nana is currently in the shower. Tsuna couldn't believe it, he could not believe that his secret has found out by Reborn, the devil spawn. The petite model sat up with frustrated and worried as he runs his fingers through his hairs messily. 'He said that he won't tell but…' he mused with concerned. He has thought about telling his mother, but he can't because he doesn't want to make his mother worried.
The tiny model groaned as he fell back on the bed. He doesn't know what to do with this situation at all. He stared at the ceiling with a contemplative face. Then the ringtone heard which belongs to Tsuna's cell phone. He sat up, reach for his cell phone from the nightstand and saw the caller ID. [Skull's Calling]
Tsuna accepted the call and placed on his ear. "Hello, Skull." He greeted slightly happy and upset.
"Hey, Sora! How are you? Are you alright? Reborn didn't do anything to you?!" Skull blurt out the questions with concerned.
"I'm alright, Skull. Thanks for asking. And…" he grimaced when he thought about Reborn. "Reborn… didn't do anything to me." 'Yet.' Tsuna added the last part to himself.
"That's a relief to hear! Sempai isn't actually the best person to be around." Tsuna could understand why. "As long as he isn't interested in you, then you should be fine!" Tsuna dropped his head, it was too late already. He had a feeling that Reborn is too interested. "Tomorrow you will meet Top-Hat sempai!"
"Who?" Tsuna blinked, he never heard such a nickname before in his life.
Skull chuckled. "His name is Bermuda, but I usually called him Top-Hat sempai. You'll understand when you'll see him. Anyways, he's a decent guy and – oh!" Tsuna could hear the loud crash through the phone.
"Skull?" Tsuna is concerned. "Is everything okay there?"
The other side of the phone, the noise has calm down and Skull sheepishly answered. "Sorry about that. I was watching an action film and I forgot to turn down the volume."
"Oh? What are you watching?" Tsuna asked with interested.
"It's an American film, called 'Extreme Risk'. If you haven't seen it, then I highly recommended that you should watch it." Skull said with excitement.
The petite model smiles. "Is that so? But I don't know English."
"That's fine! This movie is one of the Best Picture awards and had quite a few multiples languages. It has Japanese subtitles in it. Plus, it has Gelaro in it!"
"Gelaro?" Tsuna's tongue just rolls it off awkwardly. It is a rather interesting name and he doesn't recognize it. And it seems Skull could hear that tone and was surprised to hear it.
"Don't tell me you don't know who Gelaro is?! I'm surprised! Everyone knows him, he is one of the international celebrities. He is not only popular with his looks, but also his skills and talents. And not only that, he is a multilingual included the lost languages. It was ridiculous but useful for any kind of films to be in. I'm pretty sure he was in a couple of Japanese films…" Skull trailed off as he was thinking about any films in his mind.
The model was surprised to hear such a big shot of this Gelaro character. "Wow. That's-" a yawn broke out unintentionally and Tsuna blinked the stray tears away. He glanced at the clock and was surprised to see how late it has gotten. "I'm sorry, Skull… it's getting late." He apologetic said.
"Oh no! It's fine, I didn't notice the time as well. I should let you go to sleep, you do have work tomorrow. So, goodnight Sora-chan."
"Hmm, goodnight, Skull." Tsuna farewell his friend and hang up the phone. He went to the nightstand and charge it. He stretched his arms above his head and settle to get ready for bed. 'I wonder what's tomorrow going to be like? Hopefully, it won't be like Reborn.' He grimaced.

Location: Mondo Studio
Time: Morning of 7:54
Nana and her son walked inside of the studio they have grown comfortable with the place. The mother glanced around to spot the teal-haired man while Tsuna rubbed his hands together in attempted to warm up. The morning in Italy sure is very cold, but then again it is almost the end of August.
"Sora, darling!" Tsuna turned around and saw Kikyo walked toward them with a smile on his face. His eyes sparkled when he saw Nana. "Hello, Yun." Nana greeted him with a sweet smile.
Kikyo the photographer turned his attention on his petite model. "Are you ready for today new theme?" Tsuna nodded his head.
"Hai, Kikyo-sensei."
The photographer nodded his head and then glanced around in his surrounding to find his other model. "Now he should be here by now with his manager." Kikyo mumbled.
After a few minutes of searching until Kikyo's teal eyes spotted his target. "There he is!" He beckoned his petite model and the manager. "Follow me, please." Kikyo leads them to the direction of where his other model is.
Tsuna noticed the tall model standing next to Lal and he didn't expect to see such different model. The tall model has milky pale skin, oval-shape onyx eyes, black ruffled hair, and wears professionally black suit along with black trench coat and white gloves. He is holding a black top-hat which Tsuna assumed that must be why Skull nicknamed him, 'Top-Hat sempai'.
"Good morning." Kikyo greeted them happily and glanced at his petite model. "Sora, he will be your partner for the today theme. Meet Bermuda." The photographer glanced at the tall model. "Bermuda, meet Sora and her manager, Yun."
Bermuda tipped his head greeted at the young model who bowed shyly. Nana greeted the model friendly. Kikyo clapped his hands to get their attention and beamed at them. "Alright! Now, today theme is Night. It's an outcast element because it's impure however, the Sky won't be taint easily since its stronger than the Night. The story of the Night theme is called, 'Notte Solitaria'. It means 'Lonely Night' in Italian. Notte and Cielo are already married and were happy however, tragic has happened to the Notte. Notte was murdered, and Cielo became the widow after only six months married with him. Cielo was in too much agony and sorrow that she couldn't let her love go. She didn't notice that her Notte is watching her very closely. No matter how many times that Notte tries to touch his love, she never notices until she finally felt his kiss. Cielo figured it out that her Notte is with her in a spirit which made her happy yet sad. That's the story of Night theme." Kikyo explained.
"What a sad romantic." Nana placed her hand on her cheek with glazed eyes.
Lal tilted her head. "From what this story told was that Notte is a ghost?" Kikyo nodded his head and Lal hummed with slightly interested.
The photographer turned to his models with warm smiles. "Now, please head to your dressing room and we shall start first set." His models understood and went to their own dressing room.
Kikyo turned around to the managers. "Follow me, please." He leads Lal and Nana to the first set for the Night theme.
When they arrived at the first set, Lal was impressed while Nana gasped with amazed. The first set was the small graveyard. It's similar to a film set except this has the dark sky with grey clouds and multiples gravestones on the background sheet. On the set was a vintage gravestone with beautiful craved that resembles of a crescent moon and had engraved black bold, 'Notte'.
"It's beautiful…" Nana never has seen such lovely tombstone. The photographer glanced at her with a pleased smile.
"I'm glad that you like it. This is one of my few ideas." Kikyo explained briefly. Lal and Nana were impressed with the photographer's creative thoughts.
Then they heard murmured from the staffs and workers. They turned around and saw Bermuda walked toward them quietly. He wears a white dress shirt with buttons except a few unbuttons on top to show off his elegant neck and collarbones, black slacks, black dress boots, white uniform gloves wrist lengths, and an elegant black knee-length ulster coat with double-breasted unbuttoned. He also has black eyeliners hat made his black eyes popped out mysteriously, and his hair is free from any hat-wear except that his hair was nicely neatly combed back. To simply put about his appearance is that he is an alluring and sophisticated young man.
"You look very charismatic, Bermuda-san." Nana complimented on the model's look while Lal agreed and Kikyo was beamed with satisfied.
Bermuda thanked them by tipped his head gracefully. Then he glanced at the first set with small interested in silent. Meanwhile, Nana was wondering if this model isn't very much of a talker or maybe he's shy? She narrowed her eyes as she examined the model. 'He looks rather confident in himself and has an aura of… being enigmatic. So, not shy… maybe he's a man of few words? More action than words? I've heard there are people like that but not very often.' Nana mused as she decided that he must be that kind of person.
Then Nana snapped out of her thoughts when she heard praised from staffs to her son. Her blue-contacts eyes spotted her sweet son and nearly squeal out loud when she saw how pretty her son's looks.
Tsuna's hair is half-braids pig-tails with black ribbons, black eyeliners, black lipsticks, and black lace choker with a silver crescent moon on the middle. He wears a black scalloped neck dress with 3/4th sleeves, black pantyhose, black ballerina flats, and a silver ring finger with black crescent moon-shape diamond that proved of 'marriage'. He looks simple yet very pretty.
"You look lovely, Sora, darling." Kikyo is defiantly satisfied with his models' looks. Tsuna blushed softly with a shy smile. "Alright… now, this is the first part where Notte's grave was when Cielo is mourning for her love. Without knowing that Cielo was being watched by her Notte." Kikyo explained before one of the staffs handed him his previous camera with mild-flash features and special effects. "Sora, I want you to pretend that you've been mourning for a while as you are staring at the gravestone. Bermuda, I would like you to watch over her closely as if you try to get her attention, however it was futile. Understand? Bene." Kikyo lifted his camera to his eye. Click. Click. Click.
On the set; Sora stood in front of the gravestone with her hands clasped together on her chest and her eyes closed. As if she's praying to Kami while Bermuda stands on her side with half-way eyelids as he stared at her.
Bermuda lifted his hand to reach for her, however, unintentionally, Sora took a step forward and reached for the tombstone and gentle touch. Her eyes open and slowly kneel. The male model watched her as he dropped his hand back to his side. Sora was softly mumbling to the gravestone then lean her forward to touch the crescent moon.
The male model frowned then turned away as his eyes closed while his hands shoved in his coat pockets.
It was the most bittersweet scene that Kikyo absolutely pleased with this. Click. Click. Click.
Nana leaned to Lal with curious. "Bermuda-san doesn't talk often, does he?"
The manager hummed as she crossed her arms. "No. He preferred to stay quiet and watch things from the backgrounds. He is more of an action kind of guy, however, if he says something, people listen to him. He doesn't waste his breath." Lal shrugged her shoulders. "He's always been like that since I've met him."
"I see…" Nana placed her index finger on her cheek. "Is there anything you know about Bermuda-san?" she is curious about this model.
Lal thought about it. "Not much there is to know him. All I know is that he was from Vindice company, but it was disbanded about a decade ago, and he was a freelance model until an Arcobaleno company recruited him a few years ago."
"Ara? Disbanded? Why?" Nana asked with curious.
The manager furrowed her eyebrows. "I'm not sure exactly, but I've heard it was because of the illness. Some say it was retirement but others say it was bankruptcy. I'm honestly not sure what the real reason behind this disbanded company."
Nana hummed with slightly interested then snapped out of it when the photographer shouted happily. "Bello! Now, Sora, please head back to your dressing room." Tsuna nodded his head and went back to the dressing room where Sandy is waiting.
Kikyo glanced at Bermuda. "Excellent job, Bermuda." The male model tilted his head as Iza reapply the make-up.
'Bermuda-san won't change? Well, he is supposedly a ghost, so it would make sense that he won't need to change.' Nana mused.
Kikyo jerked his head. "Please follow me to the second set." He led them to the next room that Nana was familiar with. She remembered this set was from Sun theme bedroom. Except for this time, the bed was covered with black blankets along with black pillows and grey throw blanket across the bed. The floor was dark marble, and the wall was completely black with white lights that resembled of stars. It made the entire bedroom shines by the moonlight and stars in gloomy manners.
"Wow… seeing this set feels kind of lonely." Nana mused out loud and Kikyo heard her comment.
He turned to Nana with a small smile. "The Night theme is supposed to be a sorrow love between Notte and Cielo."
The manager sighed softly. "Must it be?"
The photographer examined the short manager with interested. "Night is a unique element. Usually, there are only sky, sun, mist, rain, storm, mist, and lightning. Night has the distinct appearance of heavy, inky darkness. It has very high energy, easily overpowering any other elements. It filled with bitterness, detestation, miserable, solitary, and loss." Nana frowned sadly. "It takes a pure, powerful sky to tame the night element and not let it influence it by. Sky is the one and the only light that can provide the night for warmth, acceptance, and comfort." Kikyo explained.
"I see…" Nana beginning to understand the night element and the story behind the night theme in this project.
After a few minutes, Tsuna arrived in a different outfit. His hair was changed to short braid princess ponytail. His outfit is black high neck short top with long sleeves, black skater skirt below his mid-thighs, black thigh socks, and his fingernails are painted in black. It was simple outfit and Kikyo definitely approved of it for the second set. "Alright, for the second part is when Cielo is still mourning as she has fallen asleep on the bed while Notte watches over her and comfort her with hugs. However, Cielo didn't feel anything from her love." The teal-haired man turned to his petite model. "Sora, would you please go lay on the bed and pretend that you've been nap for a while. Good, and Bermuda, I want you to comfort her… that's it… Bene!" Kikyo quickly picked up his camera and shoot. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Sora lays on the bed, on her side with her hands curled up a front of her face and her knees are bent slightly. She looks like she has been laying on the bed for a while. Her eyes fluttered shut and control her breathing pattern as she is feigning sleep.
Meanwhile, Bermuda walked to her in silence as his black eyes observed her face. Then, he calmly climbed onto the bed, over the petite model and lay behind her. He could feel her uneased stiff as he placed his arm draped over her stomach while his other arm propped up as he stared down at the petite model. "Relax." Bermuda whispered as he watched Sora flinch slightly then slowly relaxes her body.
Bermuda hummed slightly in content and shifted close to Sora. His arm moved above Sora's head as his other hand placed on her tiny hip and gently moved his thumb as if he's comforting her.
It was a beautiful scene, yet it seems gloomy. Which it was perfect for the photographer needs. Click. Click. Click.
While Kikyo was busy snapping his camera at the scene. Nana and Lal quietly discussed the schedules. "After this theme… and one more theme… it will be done officially?" Nana whispered to her friend with curious.
Lal nodded her head. "Hai. After that, we will meet with the Boss."
"That's right, I remembered that she couldn't watch the progress of this project."
"True, but I've heard she might try to come for the last part of this project for a few minutes. Although, I'm not too sure since her schedules are quite full and busy that needed her attention." Lal explained.
Before the manager could continue their talk, Kikyo exclaimed. "Lo adoro!" he beamed at his models. "Sora, darling, head back to the dressing room and change the next outfit, will you?" Tsuna nodded his head and obeyed the photographer after he climbed out of the bed with a blush.
Bermuda slipped out of the bed gracefully and adjusted his coat. The Make-Up artist overlooks at his appearance and fixed his hair.
Meanwhile, the photographer checked his camera in the tiny screen to check the pictures he has captured so far.
After ten minutes later, Tsuna came out which is surprisingly quick, but the outfit was easy to change, and he wears simple clothes once again. His outfit has changed into a dark grey sweater mid-thigh dress with high collar and long sleeves, black over-the-knee boots, black nails polish, and black stud diamonds of earrings. His hairstyle changed to messy, flowery side bun with fringes and braided headband. Simple yet very elegant for the petite model.
"You look so graceful, Sora-chan!" Nana praised her son's lovely appearance. Tsuna smiles shyly at his mother as he thanked her quietly.
"I agreed with him." Kikyo said with a smile. Then he led his models to the third set as he started to explain the part three for the next set. "Alright, this is when Cielo was taking a walk on her own while her Notte was following her, watching her as usual. It's a little short, so it won't take too long for the photoshoot in this part. After this, we will take a lunch break, understand?" he doesn't want to overwork his models and knew he will make sure they are taken care of their health and less stress. When he arrived along with his models and their managers to the third set of the black background.
"Alright, now I want you both to pretend that you are walking except that Cielo doesn't know her lover was walking with her." Kikyo lifted his camera. "Sora, I want you to go near the black sheet and slowly walk to my direction and Bermuda, walk behind her until you reach to her side. That's it… bene." Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Sora close to touching the black sheet. She walks toward the direction where Kikyo instructed her to. She fiddled her fingers close to her chest as her eyes are half-way with a frown. She looks tired and sad while walking, unknowingly Bermuda walked behind her to the side where the camera could see the clear view of two models.
Sora then gently halted her steps as she stared at the ground. Bermuda continued to walk until he stopped by her side. He raised his hand as he nearly touches the petite model's cheek. Very light feather-like that Sora had to surpass her shivers.
Bermuda paused his touch while stared at her face then gently dropped his hand to his side and glanced away with his eyes closed. Sora lifted her eyes up and tiled her head as she wrapped herself to attempt to comfort all by herself. Click. Click. Click.
"Ben lavoro." Kikyo lowered his camera. "Now we will take thirty minutes break." He announced his surroundings and the staffs dropped what they were doing and went to get their lunch or off to the restroom.
Nana clasped her hands in front of her chest as she smiles at her son. "Want to join me for lunch?" Tsuna accepted the offered with a nod and a smile.

Time: Noon of 11:36
Tsuna and his mother sat down on the table with umbrella that provided the shade from the warm sun. "Do you enjoy your job so far, Tsu-kun?" Nana whispered her son's name as she leaned forward with curious.
"Hai… it was fun. Although, Bermuda-san doesn't talk to me at all… but that doesn't make it uncomfortable though… more like… ease atmosphere?" he doesn't know how to explain, however, luckily that his mother understand.
"Lal-chan explained that Bermuda-san doesn't talk often. He's more of an action kind of guy." Nana said. Tsuna hummed as he picked up the sushi roll with chopsticks. "No one knows much about Bermuda-san except that he used to be part of Vindice company a long time ago. It was disbanded, and Lal-chan doesn't even know the real reason behind it. Lots of rumors that there wasn't any determine the truth." Nana added.
"I see." Tsuna swallowed his food then paused when he felt his phone vibrate in his over-jacket pocket that he put on before he grabbed his lunch. He placed his chopsticks down properly and picked up his phone. He blinked with confusion at the caller ID. [Unknown Caller].
The petite model flipped his phone open and accepted it. "Hello?" while Nana focuses on her Caprese salad with pesto sauce that she grew fond of recently from Kikyo's recommended.
"Ciaosuu~" Tsuna's eyes wide as he shivered down when he heard the dangerous purred from Reborn.
"H-h-how did you get my number?!" Tsuna stuttered in shocked as he tilted his head away from his oblivious mother.
"That's one of my many secrets… Dame-Tsuna."
Tsuna jaw dropped. "H-how…" he is in a loss on wondering how in the world did Reborn know about his awful nickname.
"Who would've thought that Sawada, Tsunayoshi, preferred Tsuna yet he was known as Dame-Tsuna. It was a common referred in the Namimori Middle High due to poor grades, wimpy attitude, bad luck, and lack of athleticism. An only child to Sawada, Nana and Sawada Iemistu. However, they have divorced a while ago to the reason unknown according to my research. And your mother is also disguise of a male as Sora's manager, Yun." Tsuna was sweating hard and nervous. "I have thought I could figure you out easily, however…" Tsuna could see Reborn's glint of mischievous eyes and dangerous smirk. "Something tells me there's more in you than my reports… I'm really looking forward to seeing it in my own personal touch." Reborn darkly purred.
The petite model gulped with fear. "W-why?"
"Simple. You intrigued me. It's not often I hold onto that fascinates me. You are one of the few, Tsunayoshi." Tsuna shudder when Reborn dropped dark, huskily tone of his birth name. Tsuna has a bad feeling about this. "I'm really looking forward to seeing you soon." Tsuna is not looking forward to seeing Reborn. At all. "Don't think you can hide from me easily… I can always find you." Tsuna felt like crying in his miserable soul. Why? Oh, why did he have to attract Reborn's attention? "I'll let you go, I know you are still at work. But remember this, Dame-Tsuna… You are my prey." Tsuna froze and then the phone has disconnected when Reborn hangs up.
The petite model slowly dropped his phone in his lap as his eye twitches. He wants to go home, go back to Namimori, to his house, in his bedroom and curled up in his bed and cry. Away from the world and Reborn. Tsuna groaned as he dropped his head in his palms.
"Is everything okay, Tsu-kun?" Nana leaned forward with confusing and concerned.
Tsuna lifted his head and smiles weakly at his mother. "H-hai." He doesn't want to trouble his mother. Nana blinked but smiles back and finished her lunch.
'Why me?!' Tsuna mentally cries out loud.

Location: Mundo Studio
Time: Afternoon of 12:06
Kikyo observed the fourth set as he is standing next to Nana, Lal, and Bermuda. The fourth set is a beautiful garden, there is a central bed in the middle, the front of it is a grey vintage bench, there are dark grey stones ground circled around for the path to walk on. There are glossy green grasses that were filled with beautiful roses that were lightly sprayed of black paints upon the red roses tips. The background was colored dark cloudy sky in the distance. The garden was very lovely to look at, it looks like it could be part of the movie film.
"It's a stunning garden." Nana said, and Lal agreed. Kikyo was pleased to learn that Nana likes one of his creative ideas of the sets.
Then, a petite model came out in a new outfit. He wears a grey slip dress that reached to his thighs, a black cardigan that reached below his thighs with long sleeves that barely touch his fingertips, black infinity scarf with silver crescent moon patterns, black pantyhose, black combat heeled mid-calf boots, and silver crescent moon dangling earrings. His hairstyles changed to double-braided low side bun with black crescent moon brooch.
"You look pretty, Sora, darling." Kikyo approved and Tsuna blushes shyly. Then the photographer pointed at the garden set. "Alright, now this is when Cielo liked to spend time in the garden along with her lover in the past. It was hard for her to be here, but she still comes here for the memory's sake. This garden was Notte's favorite to hang-out because of the calm atmosphere. Plus, this was when Notte's first date, along with first kiss, and proposal. It's a special garden between Cielo and Notte." Kikyo explained gently, even he admitted that this part is rather sad. "I would like you, Sora to walk into the garden and take a sit on that bench. And Bermuda, I want you to continue to follow her and watch her. Feel free to improv from there… Bene." Kikyo instructed then snapped his camera with a button. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Sora walks down on the path as she examined the red roses with black on the tips. When she reached for the bench, she sat down on the middle with her ankle crossed. She stared down at the ground front of her while her hands were fiddles on her lap.
Meanwhile, Bermuda followed behind her quietly in silent footsteps as he doesn't want to spook the tiny model. His onyx black stayed on the petite model until he shifted his eyes on one of the roses. He bends down, gently pluck one of the roses and give it a twirl of a beautiful rose. Bermuda stood up on her feet and walked to Sora from behind. He placed the rose on the edge of the bench and stood back as he shoves his hands into his coat's pockets.
From the corner of Sora's eyes that she noticed something red. She turned her head and saw a red rose tipped black laying innocently on the bench within from her reach. Sora stared at it with confusion then reached for the rose. Sora grasped the rose and took a sniff at the real rose. Her eyes closed when she gently allows the rose petal touches her lips. It was an enchanting scene. Click. Click. Click.
Out of the set, Nana and Lal watch quietly. "I feel like I'm watching a movie." Nana whispered with amazed.
Lal could understand that. "Bermuda is an excellent actor, he doesn't get involved too much in films, but when there's dark films, angst, drama, and tragedy films… he is a perfect role for it."
"Wow." Nana was dazed by Bermuda's act.
Kikyo leaned back with a nod. "Ottimo lavoro! Now, Sora, please go change the last outfit." Tsuna nodded his head and set the rose down on the bench and quickly left the set to head back to the dressing room.
Bermuda watched his partner left until out of his sights then glanced down at the stray rose on the bench. He reached for it and picked it up. When he noticed Iza went to him to check his make-up as usual. "Yes?" Iza raised her eyebrows when she saw the model's attention on her.
"Wrap this with a bow and pressed and placed in a frame." Bermuda said lowly and Iza just nod her head. She has worked with Bermuda before and knew what his character is like. So, she took the rose without any complaint.
"It'll be done after the last set." Iza promised.
Bermuda nodded his head then walked to the photographer who is chatting with the managers. Kikyo noticed his tall model and half-grinned at him. "Nicely done with the improv, Bermuda." He praised the model who tipped his head back.
After a few minutes later, Kikyo lead the managers and Bermuda to the last set. When they reached the destination. The last set was simple yet elegant in the air.
It was dark in the background, dark grey stones ground, and in the middle of the set it a street vintage lamppost with five lightbulbs heads.
The photographer made sure the lights outside of the set were in different tones and colors, so he could use his camera properly to capture the moments during the photoshoots. After that, he heard the petite model came while the praises from the staffs. Kikyo turned his head and smiles when he saw his model's appearance.
Tsuna is wearing a white blouse shirt with buttons tucked into a black skirt with suspenders, white knee-socks, black flats Mary-Jane shoes with silver crescent moon clips on the side, and black maxi coat. His hairstyles changed to a tousled low ponytail with a black ribbon, black beret, and mismatched silver earrings of a star on his right ear and a crescent moon on his left ear. His fingernails are clear, a silver ring with a black moon in his left index finger, and a simple black ring in his right pinky finger.
"Beautiful." Kikyo mumbled as he, as always, satisfied to see his petite model's appearance. He cleared his throat. "Alright… now, this is the last set of the Night theme." He got his models' attention along with their managers. "This is when Cielo took a walk during the nighttime while Notte was watching. Cielo has prayed, begged to see her love even though she knew it was futile. Notte wants to comfort her and let her know that he is always there for her, always loves her no matter what. With all his strength, he managed to touch, a special kiss that made Cielo realized that her love is always there, next to her which made her happy yet sad with accepted that she must move on. For him and for her."
Kikyo explained, then he adjusted his camera. "Now… Sora, I want you to walk to the lamppost and lean against it. Look up as if you've been praying to see your loved one. And Bermuda, I would like you to improv from there once you follow her, got it? Bene." The photographer leaned forward slightly and upturn his camera close to his eye. Click. Click. Click.
In the set; Sora walked to the lamppost as her hands were in her coat pockets. She stopped next to the tall lamppost, turned slightly and leaned her back against it. Her eyes glazed upward as if she's staring at the sky.
While Bermuda is staring at her then walked toward her. He paused next to her and glanced up then closed his eyes. For a couple of minutes in silent between the models until Bermuda opened his eyes half-way. Noticed that Sora's eyes are closed.
He leaned forward, slightly turned his head and placed his soft lips touched Sora's cheek. The petite model gasped in surprised as she fluttered her eyes open. Bermuda waited a few more seconds then removed himself away from her.
Sora reached to her cheek where the tall model's kissed. Blushes appeared on her face as her eyes somehow glazed. Then Bermuda leaned down to place his forehead on Sora's.
Sora whimpered in slightest embarrasses as she shut her eyes while Bermuda stared at her uneasy face. "Relax." Bermuda's lips barely move. He felt Sora's flinch but then forced herself to relax. Then, Bermuda leaned back away from Sora and walked away quietly.
The petite model opened her eyes and glanced around as she pushed herself away from the lamppost. She is curious where Bermuda go when she is all alone in the set. Click. Click. Click.
"Splendido! Nice job everyone! That is the last set for the 'Notte Solitaria', great job!" Kikyo praised his models, along with the staffs and workers while others applauded for this.
Nana beamed while Lal hummed with approved. "Night theme is succeeded!" Nana chirped, and Lal allowed a small smirk appeared on her face.
"It is." Lal glanced at Sora. 'I can't believe with this far, she manages to get the job done… I guess the boss was right, Sora does have raw potential.'

Luce leaned back against her comfortably spinning chair with a calm smile. "Is that so? I'm glad to hear that the Elementi Project is doing well." She said to the monitor through the video-camera.
Through the screen, Kikyo beamed at her. "Sora is such a sweet darling and has a wonderful talent. I can't wait to see how she grow as a model." Kikyo tilted his head. "Also, possibly more than just a model." He said with a secretive smile.
The boss giggled. "I agreed with you, Kikyo. Something tells me that she won't settle as a model. I believe there is more in her talents."
"I'm curious, are you going to recruit her as part of your company?"
Luce shook her head. "As much as I would love to have her join my company and be part of Arcobaleno group. I believe it's best to leave her as a freelance model, I want to give her a chance to explore herself more in the stardom world. It will help her grow and have many experiences. It's part of the deals I've made with Vongola."
Kikyo raised his eyebrows at this. "Vongola wanted her, huh? I can understand why they want her too, Sora is a natural… a perfect Sky." Then he frowned. "Plus, not only your company along with Vongola, there will be other companies that wanted her once they learn and see her talents."
"I know." Luce sighed. "When it comes to that, Vongola and Arcobaleno will have another meeting before we could recruit her officially. It'll probably it led to sharing her."
The photographer hummed. "I guess we'll see what happens in the future." Luce nodded her head. "Now, back to the Elementi Project… we will be in the last part of the project. This last part is a big key that must be successful. I truly believe it will be perfect as long as we have Sora as our Sky." Kikyo said with a smile. "Are you going to come and visit? Take a quick peek at the project?"
"Maybe. I could take a small break and check it out with Gamma." Luce said with a smile as she thought about her loyal bodyguard/driver/friend. Then a slightly playful appeared in her eyes. "By the way, what do you think of Sora's manager, Yun?"
Kikyo blinked, he didn't expect that question but then shrugged it off and smiles. "He's very friendly, open-minded, and has a lovely smile. He isn't like any other managers, he is… different. A good kind of different, I mean."
"Is there a chance you might have at least a small interested in Yun?" Luce asked with curious. Kikyo is one of her good friends and she wanted him to be happy with someone who accepts him for him.
Kikyo just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. He is very cute and has a charming personality. I can see that we both will get along well. As for the love interest, all I can say… we'll see what happens with our relationship as the time goes on." Kikyo said with a mysterious smile.
Luce just nodded her head as she accepted Kikyo's words and patience. She really wants her friend to be happy and find someone with being with, unlike his ex. She mentally shook her head and changed the topic to Kikyo in more business discuss. 'I hope Sora and Yun got their chance to spark the lights in people they've met so far… they needed it.'

"It's nice of Bermuda-san to gave you such a lovely gift." Nana said she examined the small frame and gave it back to her son.
Tsuna is out of his disguise in his comfortable pajama as he gently took the frame. He observed the gift from Bermuda. It's a pressed rose with the black tip inside of the small frame. It would be a wonderful place to put in his bedroom as a decorative. The Make-Up artist, Iza delivered it to him and said it was from Bermuda. 'Mama is right… Bermuda-san is more of an action guy then words.' Tsuna's heart warms up the thought that this might mean a token of friendship.
The petite model is beyond happy that he has gained another friend during this job. Although, he was a little sad that the project is almost over but at the same time. He was very excited. 'I can't wait for tomorrow!'
