I always imagined that out of the two of them, you'd thinl that Cioccolata would fit in better in polite society. But it's actually the opposite.
Like sure Cioccolata believes that he can act normal. But the vibes are just off, anyone who actually pays attention to what he says can tell how little regard he has for people in general. But the only people he's been surrounded with have been either equally egotistical but worse at hiding it, wilfully ignorant, or not in a position to say anything at all.
Secco, Can act normal. He can hold a regular conversation. A bit anxious, a good listener, quite likable in a easy to relate to kind of way, down to earth. Very polite with some suprising wit. He just does not want to at all. Fuck that. He's done it before and gosh he hates it. And he doesn't have to anymore!
Any sort of social interaction that would require a facade of normalcy he just chucks cioccolata at. Most problems can be solved with murder anyway.
I believe over time, yes, cioccolata became more and more deranged and unable to be normal when talking to others due to the excessive amount of fucked up shit he always surrounds himself with after he joined passione but, before, he was a doctor, he had to have had some sort of charisma when talking to others, especially patients. he wants his patients to trust him enough to let him operate on them, so he could kill them. Cioccolata is infact very intelligent, he was at the top of his class. So id imagine hed be good at hiding his truth from others and manipulating them. he was seemingly a stereotypical "good kid". volunteering to work at an olde folks home and not getting into any sort of trouble. He couldnt have, he had to be nice and normal on the outside so absolutely no suspicion would arise. He did document and film all the death he caused after all. i wouldnt say he was social/extroverted since there is no proof for that, there also isnt any proof he was introverted aswell and i dont particularly have an opinion on whether he liked being friendly/talking to people or not since i can see both options being a possibility. But i do think he was at least good at talking to others at one point in his life.
i really like how you see secco, though. i can definitely see him being introverted though, egotistical. Ive thought about this before and havent really been able to form an opinion on what secco couldve been like before meeting cioccolata
whatever he was like, its probably not what we would expect. when diavolo is telling doppio about cioccolata and secco, he says "i do not know what goes on in seccos mind." / "secco is an incomprehensible man" and elaborates no more. considering he sent out an investigation on cioccolata, he most likely did for secco aswell and whatever he found was just nonsensical to him! jk they probably just wanted seccos backstory to be mysterious to make him seem more odd than he already is or something
