Clay Snow is a cold person who thinks that relationships are pointless and a waste of time. He refuses to fall in love. He Smokes when he’s stressed or annoyed, in short, he smokes out his feelings. The reason why Clay is so against love is that his previous lover hurt him emotionally and mentally by tricking him into being a relationship he thought was perfect. His old love ended up leaving him, “I never loved you, I was just using you for the money,” She had said to him, before she left him.
