Luca: Alberto used to think he was indestructible
Alberto: Well, it added up. I’ve never broken anything, I’ve never been sick, and when I need to, I can summon incredible strength. Guilia, tell him the story about the really heavy door
Guilia: It was a really heavy door. He opened it
Alberto: On *one* pull!
I see everybody saying Luca and Alberto are gay... Which I agree with...
But you know what I'm not seeing people say?
Giulia- I swear she's neurodivergent
>At some point in the story she says "Am I being too much for you?" "My mom always says I'm too much" (not an exact quote probably but that's the point) which is definitely a thing parents say about neurodivergent children. >Obsessed with learning about the stars. And she gets super ultra excited about it. Like it's her favorite thing ever. Special interest mayhaps? >Target of the town bully. Neurodivergent people tend to be made targets of the bullies. >She's not a sea monster but she seems to understand how hard the whole "being different" thing is. (Like she doesn't even mind that her friends are sea monsters she's just worried that they might get stABBED FOR IT) >"THE UNDERDOGS" I- >JuST? She's setting off my radar in ways I can't quite articulate because I'm bad at words.
MAYBE I'm reading too much into it, MAYBE I'm just projecting on to her as a neurodivergent person myself. But you know what? Let me have my headcanons
As a neurodivergent myself, this is accurate. Not understanding that someone doesnt like you, even though to neurotypicals it's obvious is such a struggle.
Also, another reason! When she was stimming and everytime she asked "too much?" I love her so much
One reason you can tell Guilia is obviously neurodivergent is because she really couldn't tell Alberto didn't like her at first

adhd to autism communication

God her friends r so embarrassing to b around :/
