If you have the power to pause time, do you enjoy absolute freedom? Even though he can manipulate time, he cannot manipulate her mind. His world is all about her, yet there is no room for him in her world. So close, yet so unattainable. His superpower gets him into troubles and it endangers her life. Time stolen has to be repaid, eventually. He may be able to do whatever he wants when time is paused, but he may not enjoy a happy ending like the people in Paris qui dort or Cashback.
