During chapters 7-12 we meet Joseph Russo, whom considered himself a good friend of Nathaniel. He talks about how he made it all the way to Julliard and his experiences, memories, and relationship with Nathaniel. He also says that the first time he ever thought something may have been wrong with Ayers, is when they were at a party and Ayers got furious when Russo referred to him as “kid”. Ayers thought Russo was being racist towards him, even though they were close friends and he had invited him over for the holiday. This part of the story really gave some insight into the life of Ayers before he became homeless and schizophrenic.
Lopez at this point has become more than just a reporter. He has become Ayers’ friend and he cares about him and tries to help him out and he also acts as a guardian by looking out for him and worrying about his safety. Although it seems as if Lopez truly cares, it makes me wonder whether he cares for Ayers personally, or because he is so talented; and whether if he weren’t so talented, if he wouldn’t even bothered with him.
