When Bruno mentions the sand, Alberto nods exaggeratedly in agreement, looking between the both of them pointedly, having seen the tower himself: "can confirm, lotta sand." Likewise, he waves a hand demonstratively at Bruno, looking at Luca with his brows raised high, when Bruno mentions his hammock in his tower — like Alberto's had had. The weird coincidences just never end.
