What does Richie learn about love from River? Where else do we see this type of love?
River tells the Sunshine Woman that Richie is too young to know the things she is telling them. She is angry with him and leaves them standing there. This leads Richie to understand that "what Riv and Sunshine Woman did wasn't an expression of love, but Riv's standing in the sun for me was."

Jojo is willing to sacrifice everything in order to protect his sister.
