Latte place a bouquet of flowers in front of a grave. The gravestone bears the name of Pericolo - her former capo who took her in. A small smile appear on her face when she stood up. "It has been a while, Pericolo." She signs to him, "A lot of things had happened. Giorno is the new boss of Passione." She wonders what his reaction will be if he was still alive. Silently giggling at the thought, Latte signs to Pericolo again. 

"...I am able to find a path for myself. A path with people I call my family. Now, I found happiness once again." She looks up at the clear blue sky. The gentle wind flow past her body. It is comforting to know there are people by her side through thick and thin. Latte brush the top of the gravestone. "I'll visit again, I promise. Watch over us." She thought then left the grave site. She drove her black Mercedes to her new home. 

Returning to a large mansion, Latte park her car to approach the front door. Entering the mansion, Latte walks down the large hall to arrive to the large dinning area. "Welcome back, Latte!" Narancia greets her from the large table. Next to Narancia is Leone listening to his red headphones. Leone took off his headphones to glare at Narancia. He saw Latte at the doorway then nods his head to Latte in greetings. "Welcome back." He spoke up, "That didn't take long." Latte shrugs her shoulders. She take a seat next to Leone. Then, she notices that Giorno, Bruno, Mista aren't present. It is a shame Trish isn't here right now as she decides to take a short trip to her hometown. 

"Where are the others?" She signs to Leone. He took a sip from his cup of tea. "They are in a meeting right now." He replies. After their mission, Leone was the first one who study sign language due to his experience being in Latte's shoes. It was a surprised for Latte when he first sign to her. Leone didn't forget the sight of Latte tearing up. They are able hold a decent conversation in sign language. Leone pours a cup of tea for Latte. She thanks the man. 

They turn to Narancia struggling to do his homework. It was a slow start but he is able to get a grasp. It only took the unrivaled patience of Latte for Narancia to get it. "I need help, Latte." Narancia whines. Holding up his notebook, it displays his math homework. After the fight, Narancia return to school to get his education. Latte left her seat to assist Narancia in homework. It took a few minutes for Narancia to figure it out. At least, she didn't stab Narancia with a fork like Fugo when he made a mistake. 

"Latte, you're back." Giorno's voice made her lift her head to see the others at the doorway. Latte smiles at them. "Of course, I hope I didn't take long." She signs. Giorno shakes his head. "It's fine, we don't mind if you take long." He replies. Mista's stands made their presence known as they move to the mute woman. They happily greet the mute woman. Latte silently giggles at the sight. They are adorable in their own way. 

Mista quickly intervenes, "Come on, guys. Don't bother her." Latte made eye contact with the gunner. He flushes when he made contact with her. The men watch Latte shakes her head. "I don't mind. I find them wonderful." She replies. Her words made his cheeks darken. Bruno and Giorno grins at the sight. It is quite obvious to the men that Mista has feelings for the mute woman but lack the confidence to ask the woman out. "W-well, if you don't mind." Mista mutters, glancing away from to see the others at the table. 

While Latte's attention is on his sex pistols, Bruno begins to sign to Mista, "Go on and take to her somewhere else." The look of hesitance from Mista made Bruno glare at him. "Now." He finishes. Mista shivers then looks at Latte. "Hey, Latte. Can we talk?" He felt the heat on his cheeks grew stronger when she looks up at him. Latte nods her head. She let Mista guide her out of the dinning room to the mansion's garden. His sex pistols disappears as it is important for Mista to have alone time with Latte. 

Mista felt his palms sweat when they approach a wooden bench. He could feel his heart quicken when trying to plan out what he should say. This is nerve-wrecking compare to his job. After all, this is a vulnerable moment for himself. He doesn't know how she felt about him. Mista has a couple hints from their time together but she doesn't know if she serious about him. The memory of her kiss on his cheek burns in his head. 

"Right..." He thought to himself, "Come on, I can do this. How hard can it be?" Mista's hands shake. He wants to do this right. Mista turns to Latte who is patiently waiting for him. His cheeks warm up to see the mute woman in front of her. He held up his hands which made her pause. Her eyes widen as Mista slowly signs to her. "I like you, Latte. I really do." He tries his best to stop his hands from shaking any further. "I know, we don't know each other much but I want to learn more about you." He finishes then looks up. 

His heart quickens to see Latte's cheeks flush pink. Her hands moves up to her chest level. "...I...I know it is strange but I like you too. I would like to know more about you too, Mista." Latte replies with a heart-warming smile. Mista tugs the top of his hat, feeling his cheeks burning. "...Why you have to be so cute?" He whispers. Latte moves closer to him to tug his sweater. On the tip of her toes, she pulls Mista to her level. The feeling of her lips press on his left cheek. He thought he died and went to heaven for a moment. 

She releases Mista to enjoy the sight of his red face. Mista saw the amusement on her face. He frowns then pulls her into his arms before she steps away. "Don't you think you can get away with this again." Mista spoke up, sudden change of confidence in his face. Latte's eyes widen then his lips made contact with hers. The feeling of comfort and affection overwhelms the both of them. 

They part away for a breath of air. Mista grins at the sight of Latte's face turns tomato red. He could have sworn he saw steam coming from Latte's face. Covering her mouth with her hands, Mista chuckles then holds her in embrace. Her face press against his chest. "...Dinner tomorrow at 6pm?" Mista asks. He looks down at Latte who nods her head. 

"FINALLY!" The couple jump the sound of Narancia's loud voice. Three feet from them is the whole group who watch the scene unfold before them. Bruno shakes his head, looking down at Narancia. "Now, you interrupt their moment together." He spoke up. Giorno chuckles at the sight, "At least we saw the confession." 

"Latte! You know how long it take for Mista to say anything?!" 

Mista let go of Latte to run towards Narancia. "Shut up!" Mista shouts at the teenager. Latte watches Mista chase after the fleeing Narancia within the mansion. She giggles at the sight. Bruno left his spot to approach Latte. He place a hand on top of her left shoulder. "Congratulations to both of you." He gave her a smile. Latte returns the smile with her own. They turn to Leone who sighs out loud. "Wonder how long until they will tie the knot? You know how they look at each other." Latte's face turns red. 

"I bet after a year." Giorno spoke up. Her mouth drops up in shock then looks up at Bruno who chuckles. "Don't mind us, we are just happy for you guys." Leone scoffs loudly at Bruno's comment. "You mean finally, Bucciarati. Mista always chicken out when he had the chance." He adds. They heard the sound of glass breaking from within the mansion. "Well, let's stop them before anything else happens." Leone mutters under his breath. Latte agrees as everyone returns inside the mansion. She is able to stop Mista from chasing Narancia with a small kiss on his cheek. With the mixture of laughter from the others, Latte smiles at the sight of her familia.
