Her hair always reminds me of speghetti. Pretty, speghetti, but still. Lol
Anyway, I know Devon takes issue with Kenny and Lou's relationship, but that's actually not necessarily a bad thing for him to be releasing what sex is with someone he trusts and loves. Although it can create a dependency that's unhealthy, Lou is so far abused and traumatized that it's going to be near impossible for him to ever process any emotions normally. He also stopped developing mentally after seeing his parents die and then Judith. And then the person who "saved" him, groomed him, kept him locked away and isolated him without giving him an education or socially adapting him, and then he raped him continously for years. He may never be able to process emotions beyond the confines of the mind of an 8 year old. He'll feel the emotions and have the urges of an adult but he's going to react like a child would. He is, unfortunately, damaged beyond repair psychologically. He may develop some stability, but I doubt Lou will ever be able to be independent. It's really sad what was done, and the effects of it, but this author is portraying that reality very well.
