A month had passed since you had cured yourself of the disease. Corazón had forced you to be on bed rest as your limbs were all sore once you had woken up from unconsciousness, you barely had enough energy to move so how could you fight the words of a grown ass man. During this period, many people came to visit you, your teachers who helped you out, Doflamingo and co. As well as Naomasa who brought sweets with him.

During this time you found out that if you had your room open for a long period of time, it drains your energy, leading to your month-long bed rest. Though as you were bedridden, Corazón had hung up photos around the house, photos from the six-month journey. He framed them and placed them around the house, there was some in your room as well.

You saw the one where you were chasing him hung up on the wall and the one with the fish framed on one of the many shelves of the house. You practically forced him to frame the one where he was smiling like an idiot. That one was placed next to your fish photo.

The month went by quickly, and you made a full recovery, though during that month you thought about something while you were on that bed. Corazón was not a hero, by name he wasn't, yet he acted more like a hero than any that you've ever met. You wanted to help people, children like you.

One day at breakfast you said your thoughts aloud. "Cora-san, I wanna be a hero." Corazón was quick to start choking on his food, though you were not worried a bit. He does this too often for it to scare you.

After a couple minutes more of choking, he was quick to take in some water then speak up.

"And why do you wanna become a hero?" He asked as he looked at you, who was midway through eating a pancake.

Pausing your eating, you glanced at him. "I wanna save 'em. Like how you saved me." Then the rest of the pancake was being shoved into your mouth.

"There are other ways of saving people, a doctor, you'd be good at that."

"But being a hero means I can fight, like All Might. Plus, even if I became a doctor, I'd have to work in hospitals, I hate hospitals. If I'm a hero, I can fight the villain then heal the citizens after, it's a win-win situation for me."

Biting into an apple, Corazón frowned. He knew hospitals were a no-go, especially after your experiences with them. A thought flowed through his mind, "Does your uncle play a part of you wanting to be a hero?"

"Nope, I wanna be like All Might, winning and fighting with a smile." You said, though deep down you wanted to say something else, that Corazón was really the reason you wanted to be a hero. That in a way you wanted to be like him.

"Well I doubt anyone would wanna see your smile when you save them." He smirked as you glared at him, which did nothing but only widen his smirk. "Well you're pretty set on this so I'll help you, hell if you get good enough you may be able to manipulate your room shape."

Ignoring his taunt you met his smirk with a challenging smile."Of course, I'll be able to do it. I can do anything."

A just like that you were training with Corazón and sometimes with Doflamingo, though your uncle's training was much harsher.

Instead of going to kindergarten, you would stay in Corazón's and Naomasa office. In that time when they were working, you'd be studying medicine or slacking off by reading books, drawing or watching heroes on Corazón's phone, which he gave you to search something up if you weren't sure what it meant. Oh, you also started learning the Spanish language.

How it happened was that you overheard Corazón talking to someone in a language you'd never heard before. So being the curious kid you were, you asked him what it was.
