Most would assume, that with the nature of the work he did, Risotto Nero would avoid any emotional attachments, to other mafiosos, or civilians. But, they would be wrong. His relationship with his family, while shrouded in mystery, was as strong as his relationship with his team, and he carried an intense sense of responsibility and protectiveness for all of them.

Risotto himself carried a flame for you, though you would never be able to tell under that Stony disposition. He recognized his own feelings, and was unbothered by them, believing the right moment would come along. But, not yet sure if you felt the same way, he only gave vent to his affections in that stern, understated manner of his so as not to scare you off.
