Inside the dark room, brown-orange eyes glowed. The machine that was monitoring his heartbeat beeping in the same, calmed pace.
Tsuna sighed and blinked his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, a surge of images came attacking him so he had to pause for a long time to analyze them.
It was Yoshi's memories. He was a happy child that didn't need a father. He was all alone but he was happy even with just his mother. There was this blonde kid that he presumed to be Ietsuna. He was the only person who would constantly approach him and try to talk to him. Yoshi didn't exactly need friends. They weren't just cut out for him.
Tsuna was the same. He didn't have friends. He was happy, with his mother. He was happy not knowing anything. But that only difference is that he was a failure, and he wasn't strong. Yoshi was strong and he didn't need anyone at all. He could stand up and fight for his own self. They were exact opposites.
Even now, he needed his guardians. He needed his friends. He needed his precious person who had helped him change, Reborn. He needed them.
Finally feeling the overwhelming pain of loss, heavy sobs cracked out from Yoshi's already frail body. He wished he could have had even just one last supper with them. Have fun with them. But fate didn't exactly planned that out for him.
He cried throughout the night as he felt Yoshi's encouragement inside his heart. At least one person knows. Who he is, who he was, and how he was. It was enough for now. It was plenty enough.

"Tsunayoshi-kun, can you tell me what this is?" The doctor said. He waved a pen in front of him. "It's a ballpoint pen. Probably a blue colored one basing on the color of the tip of the pen." Tsuna answered.
The doctor smiled at him. "That's brilliant. Your brain is functioning normally after three years and a few months of being a comatose patient. Do you remember where you live?" The doctor asked while scribbling some notes on his file.
"I don't exactly remember the address but I lived in a two-storey house with a small backyard. The color of the house was creamish yellow and a brown roof. I remember it being near a junior high school." Tsuna answered. The doctor nodded and kept on taking notes.
"You don't remember your address but you remember what your house looked like. You remember basic things. You don't remember anyone else except for your mother. Do you have any recollections of what happened to you before you went into a coma?" The doctor asked.
Tsuna pretended to be having a hard time remembering. "No...I only remember walking with a boy with the same age. His face is fuzzy so I don't know what he looks like, I also don't know his name. We were walking together and I fell unconscious. That's all I remember." Tsuna lied. The doctor just nodded again.
"Well, it seems like you have some amnesia. We don't know but it might be just a short-term memory loss or a trauma that made you forget certain events. But don't worry, the memories will just come to you." The doctor told him and patted his shoulder.
"Minoru, tell the police that he can't give any statement regarding the incident. He has amnesia. And also tell them that it might be just a short term memory loss so the hospital wishes to not have officers pressuring the child to remember." The doctor said to the intern doctor that was beside him.
Tsuna couldn't hear the most of the conversation but he heard the important parts like, incident, statement and police. It must be about the kidnapping incident and the police wants to interrogate the victims about what happened. Thinking that the police are going to interrogate the victim, the culprit must have not yet been caught.
But then, remembering Yoshi's story, the kidnappers should have at least been caught or something. And also basing on Yoshi's memories, he heard sirens. Someone must have called them, someone has to be. And that someone is definitely some person from the mafia. And that means the culprits should have been caught.
And again, the police wants a statement. Now the first conclusion is that the kidnappers would have to be a high ranking mafiosi and if Tsuna would base that to his world, he would have three big candidates. Estraneo, Rosa Sanguinante, and the organization behind the Balestro incident. Or maybe just Balestro is there was no one behind the Balestro incident.
Thinking back, Balestro was never the bad guys. Tsuna knows it. There must have been something to push them to attack the Vongola. Or is he just not aware of some hidden history?
Going back, Tsuna thought of the second conclusion. Whoever came to their rescue that moment might have annihilated the kidnappers and the police might have gotten some traces but not enough to sue the main perpetrator. But then, who was the person who saved them? Or were they saved in the first place?
He needs the whole details of what happened and that equals to some investigation. And it was troublesome for Tsuna who's just a civilian in this world.
He would have to practice hacking and start being an information broker in the underground world.
"We have contacted your mother and she will be here any moment now. We'll be discussing more things when she gets here. For the time being you should rest. I'm sure you're disheveled by the fact that you were in a coma." The doctor said.
"Thank you doctor, but I don't think I'm disheveled by the fact I was in a coma. Will it be okay if I read some newspaper? I want to know what's happening recently. I also would want to know what happened these past three years." Tsuna said.
The doctor paused as if dumbfounded by his behavior. "O–kay...you don't feel any pain anywhere right?" He asked once more. Tsuna just nodded. "I feel perfectly fine." He said. The doctor just nodded, looking a little disoriented. "We'll bring you some newspapers. Rest while you wait." The doctor just said and left the room, closing the door behind him. Tsuna breathed out a long sigh.
"Now that I think about it, my mother is not mom...I wonder where's mom?" Tsuna mumbled to himself.

"Mom, Dad said I can stay and study there!"
"O-oh really? You'll come home?" Nana said.
"Yeah! You can finally meet my friends mom, they're a bit crazy but they are fun and lovable!"
"It's good to be young, you guys are so energetic. Oh Yoshi-kun I still have some things to do, can I talk to you later? Tell me what time your flight is, I'll come pick you up at the airport. Bye."
"Okay mom, bye."
Nana sighed as she put down the receiver.
"Three years, four months, one week and two days. If he doesn't wake up today...that makes it three years, four months, one week and three days." Nana said.
She picked up the sunflowers she bought a while ago. She had thought that it was too dull in her son's hospital room. Maybe the sunflowers would make it more lively there.
"Please...wake up soon Tsuna..."

"You called your mother?" An old man said.
"Yes, ninth. Thank you for convincing my father." A blond haired teen said.
"No problem, just for my future heir. Though I'm afraid I'll have to send your tutor with you." The man called ninth said.
"I knew you would say that. I would still need to train." The teen said.
"I am feeling very guilty for dragging you into this world when you were still 14. Now four years have passed and you're 18 now. And you even have your brother in hospital because of the mere reason of your identity. I am truly sorry about it." The older apologized.
"It's already been three years about that accident ninth, you need not to apologize about it. What's happened has happened. And it's the ones who attacked who should be apologizing. They had cost my brother his life. They had put him into that state, unmoving, unresponsive state. Not just that, they had to involve someone who doesn't have any correlations to whatever they're seeking. Someone outside of the alliance." The teen clenched his fist, his face morphing into a detesting expression.
He closed his eyes shut to calm himself down. "Do you have any word from Cielo Rosa, ninth?" He asked. The older man shook his head. "They are unresponsive at the moment. The last word we got from them was a year ago. They only said they're gonna collect the price. Just that. But I heard some rumors that Cielo Rosa's Wolf has found and now chasing down the famiglia. We're still doing our best to get them to respond, and maybe finally make an alliance." He said.
"They're lucky to have gotten past the Vindice for years. But then they are unlucky to choose to be hunted by the Cielo Rosa, and by the Vongola." The younger said.
The old man smiled at the boy. "Why don't you go tell your guardians to start getting ready for the flight Ieyoshi? And you should also do so. I'll be taking care of this matters as of now. You should concentrate on your studies and training for now." The ninth said.
"Yes, ninth. It was nice to have a short conversation with you. We'll come visit when we have the time, though I'll have to apologize for the future destruction of some personal properties." Ieyoshi said. The ninth just smiled softly at him.
"You may be dismissed." The older said and the younger just excused himself out of the seemingly large room which was the ninth boss of Vongola's office. The old man admitted that it was lonely to let the boy go and be alone inside the large room.
And he was also sorry that the child will soon experience the same loneliness as he passes down the title to him.
