12. He Looked Like a Magazine Model

Jose underwent such a drastic metamorphosis that he virtually disappeared in his old neighbourhood. He might have easily been mistaken for a fashion magazine model rather than someone who had spent a quarter-century living on these very streets because of his immaculate look and sophistication. The responses from onlookers aptly captured this drastic shift: those who knew him just passed by, noticing only a well-dressed, dignified gentleman. The few who knew him couldn't help but remark, one person saying "No Josette?" playfully and another teasingly asking about his Ferrari. These playful remarks covered a deeper respect of the amazing nature of his change. His appearance in the past and the present was so remarkable that it disproved people's assumptions regarding the possibilities of personal change.
