Ace Bruno Is CANON

Y en español también para los hispanohablantes jejejeje💃

In the larder at Bruno’s home, there was a loose floorboard. Hidden underneath, he kept a box with memorabilia that he collected throughout his childhood.

Colourful pebblestones, a ribbon from his mother’s wedding dress, a hook that he caught his first fish with, a postcard from Capri; the small wooden container was bursting at the seams with the memories from his youth.

After his father’s death, Bruno took the box out to the beach and set it on fire. Not to break with the past; he thought it was the only way to move forward and set himself free.

In Bucciarati’s home, there’s a cabinet that no one has the key to; he says it’s for highly confidential documents no one aside from him should have access to.

It’s a lie.

Hidden inside is a box full of small keepsakes from all of their family members, that Bucciarati meticulously collects and saves.

A copy of Fugo’s university acceptance letter; the eyepatch that Narancia wore when he first joined the gang; the shell-cases that were used as the evidence in Mista’s trial; Trish’s hairpin that she wanted to get rid of, as it reminded her of her past life; an old, faded photograph of teenage Abbacchio, originally taken for his police badge; the lighter that Giorno used to pass Polpo’s test and join Passione.

Sometimes, when he’s home alone, Bucciarati takes the box out and reflects on those memorials of the past; all those useless things that are testament to how far they’ve come, from nadir to the top of the world.

And how he’s grown from a boy with big dreams into a man who made those dreams come true.

And you keep holding yourself together, no matter the cost.

Space prompt for @brunoweek day 2! I took space to mean outer space and drew my star wars au Zygerrian, a cat like species, Bruno.
