Lakes
Lakes, a retired librarian from Midwestern America, suffered from depression and anxiety.
Only when he was 88 years old did he realize that the reason Lakes had been following him for so many years was because he wanted to remind him of his dead wife.
Aloof, stubborn, and self-deprecating, he never remarried after losing his wife at a young age.
He has one son who lives out of state.
Lakes enjoys gardening and dislikes crowded places, having spent two years traveling through Europe in his youth.
