[ Alberto gives a twitch of a smile in the corners of his lips, gazing at Luca with sly narrowed eyes. ]
Heh. Yeah— everyone but you. ...Aaand any other secret monsters you don't know about yet, ehhh~? Bet you're not the only one, ha!
[ After all, if there's one, why not two? That was true in Portorosso in their case, technically. And if there's two, why not three?! He wants to be optimistic here. Aaand crack a joke to cover up anything that makes him even the slightest bit uneasy ever, of course... Because far be it for Alberto to be "the other secret monster" in this scenario and go to school with Luca. Oof... ]
[Thinking that there might be other secret monsters at school is pretty exciting and makes him look forward to school that much more. After all, why would he necessarily be the only monster there? He's met other non-human kids in this place, after all.]
I bet there's plenty of other monster kids there! I wonder if I'll be able to figure out who they are.
Well, not if they're as good at human-ing as us, you won't! Ha!
[ He flashes Luca a smug, conspiratorial grin. He has full confidence they can keep this up as easily as they have so far... Little does he know, tomorrow starts a whole domino effect of exposure and discovery. But for now he can enjoy his last ego trip about his "human-ing" for a while. ]
Oh, right. Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how good at humaning they are, won't we?
[Assuming, of course, that they weren't the only monsters there, but at this point he's fairly certain they won't be now that the idea's gotten into his head.]
