for the book being so specific about ilya's affection for shane's freckles in the book, they really paid no attention to it in the show even when they drew such visibly beautiful freckles on him
Funny that there was discourse just weeks ago about Troy Barrett having changed and grown and how his past actions should’ve had no bearing on Shane’s or anyone else’s current opinion of him. I guess it’s easier to have more empathy for a fictional character than a real person.
