Summary
So. Here are the facts as you see them.
Fact number one: Giulia is going to be on the train for Genova in two days. She's going back home--because Genova is her home, apparently, and you're still grappling with the idea that there are places outside your island and Portorosso, BIG ones, they keep telling you, all over the globe--where she'll spend the next nine or so months going to school.
Fact number two: You and Luca now own your very own Vespa. It's not road-ready yet, and it might not be for a while, which is fine actually because it turns out now that the Paguros aren't going to send Luca away to the bottom of the ocean, you're going to have to whittle them down into giving him permission to run away with you.
Fact number three: That's not even really a plan that makes sense, if you think about it for more than a few minutes at a time.
Fact number four: You haven't forgotten that Luca doesn't actually want to run away with you anymore. He's just pretending he never said it.

Summary
Alberto scoffs and says I’ve seen television, which is a clear indication that he’s being literal. He’s never sat down and actively watched anything on one before. He still climbs over the back of the sofa to sit beside her. He throws his arm behind her shoulders, and Luca leans into her side, and Giulia sighs and smiles, squashed comfortably between the two of them.
She’s going to miss this the most when she goes to London.
But even knowing that it’s going to end, she can’t wait for summer to begin.
/A culmination of some things.

Summary
"I think it would kill me," Luca says after a while, quiet but certain. Alberto can tell by his tone that he's not joking, and he props up on his elbows to listen while Luca rubs his thumbs together and stares up at the dappled sunlight that ripples over them as the waves go in and out, that warms the water all around them. "If I had to live like this all the time. Never going above the surface, never seeing anything of the world, never learning anything new, for the rest of my life? I really think it would kill me."
Alberto doesn't know what to say.
So he says, "Jeez, is that what you've been lying here thinking about?"
/ Alberto is trying so hard to move on, and to be better.

Summary
Newly moved to Genova with his strict parents, Luca Paguro has a hard time being comfortable in the huge, overwhelming city and being a Sea Monster certainly doesn't make it easier. Luckily, his friend Giulia Marcovaldo doesn't have a problem with it.
When Luca gets hit by a motorcycle one afternoon he doesn't expect the mysterious and boisterous driver to turn out to be a Sea Monster as well. Bonding over their experiences as (literal) fish out of water, the two decide to meet weekly and go on not-dates around the city.
But past wounds seem to have stained the relationship between Giulia and the biker Alberto, making it all the more difficult for Luca to carelessly trust his new friend. Luca comes to realize that the more he learns about Alberto, the less he feels like he actually knows him - and the more dangerous it seems to develop certain feelings for the biker.
Or: Alberto is in a Biker Gang and hits Luca with his motorcycle. Shenanigans ensue.
