[ Luca's right to assume Alberto might put all his eggs in this basket, now that the realization has hit him. As it settles, his hopes start attaching to this theory...

Yeah... Yeah. Dolores said maybe it's not like that for everyone, but, I mean — so many Madrigals have been here. Bruno's sisters, all his nieces, his nephews... Dolores even showed up twice. So it seems pretty likely he'll show up again, right? I mean, it might be a while, but— Th-This place loves burping up this family! Hah...
[ He's trying to affect some weak levity, but despite his wan smile, his eyes look purely worried still. It's a panicked hope, grasping at straws, just as Luca anticipated. He may not start counting the days until Bruno's return... but Luca knows Alberto's got that inclination in him, when the going gets tough. Delusional optimism works wonders sometimes. But probably not for this. ]
