This photo consists of a middle-aged woman holding up a baby in front of her. She has her eyebrows wrinkled and mouth half open, seeming intensely unhappy and irritated. The middle-aged woman and the enfant would represent the characters of Lou’s mother and Lou’s baby sister, Chloe, from my novel “No and Me”. since this picture strongly reminds me of Lou's mother drowning in a forceful state of depression after Chloe passed away months after she was born. This tragedy broke Lou's family completely, to the point where her mother hasn't left her little apartment in years and her father secretly cries behind a locked bathroom door. Lou describes her mother as “She's so far away from us that we can't talk to her. Anouk hardly recognizes us. For four years she's been living in a parallel world that we can't reach, a sort of fourth dimension, and she couldn't care less about whether or not we're alive." Lou's practically "non-existing" family has deeply affected her and left an awfully dark shadow deep in her young 13-year-old heart. This caused her to not want to come home and see her destroyed family, but to go to the train station, where emotions actually do exist while varying departures and arrivals take place. This is where Lou met homeless No and had a fairly interesting interaction with her, which is described later in the book.
