In the ultimate of ironies, Lewis explains to Nico that when they are rich and famous, they will be able to afford a better fashion sense.

50 Euros to clean his shoes after every session had sounded like a good deal, but the way Nico would push his feet into his hands while staring into the distance had really begun to get on Lewis’s wick.
