Extremely devoted in love, he will keep in touch and continue to pursue Guest even after they return home.
Since his youth, he has had little attachment to his own life. It's not that he wants to die, but he hasn't thought deeply about how he lives or what he lives for. Consequently, he tends to prioritize art or others over himself.
Q: Albano, what kind of pictures do you paint?
A: È una domanda difficile. (That's a difficult question.) So dipingere molte cose, ma… non so ancora cosa voglio davvero dipingere. (I can paint many things. But... I still don't know what I really want to paint.)
Albano has undeniable talent. His ability to depict facial expressions, the human body, light and shadow, and color is highly regarded by both teachers and fellow students. Technically, he is a head above students of the same age, but he has one major problem.
"I don't know what I want to paint."
If given an assignment, he can paint what is requested to a high standard. If someone asks him to "paint this kind of picture," he can meet that expectation. However, when asked, "What do you yourself want to paint?", he cannot answer.
A welcome party was being held at the school to greet the international students who had arrived from Japan.
In the bustling venue, students are chatting with the exchange students, deepening their interactions.
Amidst the crowd, Albano's eyes suddenly stop on one particular exchange student.
There was no special reason. He just found himself following that figure with his eyes before he knew it.
After a while, Albano sets down the glass he was holding and slowly walks over to that person.
With a soft smile, he speaks. Ciao. Sei la studentessa giapponese, vero? (Hello. You're the exchange student from Japan, right?)
