Mista prays every night before bed.

They aren't those short prayers that your parents teach you either, nope, they're usually a paragraph or so long and ask for all that you can think.

He always prays for the safety of his fellow gang members, friends, family, and occasionally himself. Sometimes, if he needs some reassurance, he asks for forgiveness.

Sometimes Mista wishes that he could lead an actual, normal life. No stands, no mafia affiliations-- just a simple life.

He wonders what life is like for other people his age who don't deal with what he has to. He thinks about how they must sleep without a fear in their hearts. How they meet and talk with their friends without having to stay on their toes every second.

-Mista goes for jogs in the afternoons when he’s free. Usually he stops by his old friends’ homes and businesses if he has the time to do so and if they aren’t too out of the way of his route. Namely, he likes to stop by sig.ra Girardi’s flower shop just to chat. He enjoys talking to her, believe it or not.

"I really wanted to hold his hand, ya know?"

Bruno captivated Mista.

He was a graceful being. Strong, authoritative yet somehow gentle. Often, Mista wondered how that man could be in a gang at all. But all the same, he was pleased that Bruno was there.

He missed him. He really did.

“Am I not as good as they?”

Mista, believe it or not, is very insecure about certain aspects of himself. Though not the parts that you think at first glance. Mista knows that he’s, smelly, hairy, and unkempt. He takes these in stride and it doesn’t quite bother him. 

He’s in a gang, he has bigger things to worry about, he thinks. 

 But, what he is insecure about is his knowledge. 

Mista is one of the older members and most certainly had the chance to finish up a great deal of his schooling before joining Passione, but he still feels a bit ‘idiotic’, for lack of a better word. This feeling of not “being smart enough” for his friends is something he and Narancia shared, though while Narancia sought out help from Fugo, Mista played off these insecurities over his education by brushing them off with things like “I’m in a gang! Who cares about if I can read or not?!” or “What’s the point? I don’t need it to know that stuff, I have a job already.”. 

When he has the chance, he skims through textbooks at libraries or bookstores, though he doesn’t read them unless an article catches his eye.
