[ The reminder of the time left just deepens his scowl. He’s still stuck on being accused of being untrustworthy, ahem. People who are totally trustworthy probably wouldn’t be so hung up on it. Between his hubris, his hot temper, overexcitable impulses, his ignorance of the human world and just life and people in general, plus a complete lack of foresight and relatively weak emotional regulation, uh… it’s probably a fair assessment to say Alberto’s probably not the most trustworthy. Even if he is pretty good at keeping secrets under his hat and usually has good intentions toward the people he likes. That’s not all that goes into trust.
He can’t help but think of that day on the beach with Luca and Giulia, after commandeering Giulia’s bike out of jealousy and crashing it into the sea, and… everything else that came after. He learned from that experience, but still could stand to learn more in hindsight. Just because a problem was resolved, doesn’t mean it’s no longer relevant; he’s still got plenty to learn about trust. Burning Massimo’s boat was also a breech of trust. He’s done a lot to break people’s trust, come to think of it… And—
Silenzio, Bruno. Basta. Enough of that.
Alberto steels his pose, determined to win this stupid dare, but he doesn’t offer another response — well, not a verbal one, anyway. He just glowers at Chara (AKA: pouting) and that look says all, says even more than he’d like it to, probably. Why does Chara know how to push all his buttons?! Five minutes really is a long time.
Regardless… it’s Chara’s turn to choose truth or dare now, so whether Alberto speaks the words to explicitly redirect the conversation, he’ll just, uh, glare this invitation at them. Yeah. ]
