Alberto nods in agreement at what Luz says about misunderstandings, smiling; it's a fair point to make, especially here. He's far less socially experienced than Luz even knows, but he's become so adept at learning how to navigate differences in people's experiences. This whole experience living in Kaisou is an excellent practice in empathy, on top of everything else. He's definitely a problem-solver as much as he is a trouble-maker, that much can be said in Alberto's defense.

But a nod and a smile is all he needs to convey those softer sentiments, not being one to err on the schmaltzier side, as Madonna is a far more pressing conversation to pick up. His sweet smile turns to more of a smirk again, giving Luz a teasing look.

"Ha. About which song from her album Ray of Light has the best music video. It got very involved... Hard call to make. Too many good choices, haha."

The boys' journey in self-exploration and finding their place in modern human society as American teenagers may have just begun, and while they've not tuned into even the concept of queerness at all yet, they're clearly well on their way, getting off on a good gay foot by arguing about Madonna superlatives already. The signs. The signs...
