Lou lives his life as if time and ageing are not a factor. He lives the decadent lifestyle of a famous man, unaware that it will have devastating consequences later in life. This fact is furthered by Rhea’s attention to his body—time has already lift “footprints” on him, though Lou denies it. Rhea scares Lou because she is not subjugated by his power. Rhea sees through Lou’s image, while Jocelyn doesn’t. Lou also sees through Rhea, though, recognizing her insecurity. As an adult, Lou at least has a broader perspective than Rhea, and understands that freckles are not the defining factor of her identity.
