It's unfortunate when peer pressure lands him into a deep tunnel he will also struggle to get out of. Elvis is of the coming age where he realizes that everyone was created widely differently, and Tomilola's tenacity is what would take her places, keep her from going to places and get her in a situation she didn't plan for.
