[ Luca's question sideswipes Alberto. He wasn't sure what he was expecting, but that's a much nittier-grittier question than he'd anticipated, for sure. He chokes a little, smiling awkwardly at the both of them as he searches for his words, but manages an honest, earnest response — as per the game rules, after all. Just another marker of how much Alberto has grown since coming here...! ]
W-Well, eheh... I still think it's boring — sometimes, not always! Buuut I definitely don't think it's dumb. Anymore...
[ He glances at Luz. She wasn't there for the 'boring thing that takes us to the terrible place' outburst that led to their huge fight in Portorosso. He glides right over the unspoken memory, seeking Luca's eye again. ]
I've learned so much, and it's not easy, but— it's fun. Sometimes, not always! Hah! I know I wouldn't have made it without you, though. Both of you.
[ He smiles at each of them, warm and sincere, more open than he usually is. Cuz that's the game. Right? But he can't let well enough alone and of course has to tag on some joke to damper it, for his own comfort. ]
Though I do wish we were allowed to move around. I still hate sitting in one spot. I'll always hate sitting in one spot. It's a very stupid rule.
[ Very matter-of-fact. An important complaint he has never let up on since Day 1. Both Luca and Luz have heard his Opinions™ on classroom etiquette, his grievances about not being able to move around as freely as he's used to. It's almost physically painful for him to stay at his desk without disruption for hours. He fails at it. A lot. That... may never change, it's true. ]
