Izzy vows not to allow this to happen and willfully sets about forcing circumstances his way.
Good! I hate when characters try to force things their way without any will at all.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm particularly fond of the "hilarious yet deeply committed" bit, especially when you pair it with the inevitability of leading his love to a tragic end.

It's so incongruous! But I like the tragic end part.

Well, hell, if you're a Spaniard frittering away your vital juices or whatever the nasty stuff was as a bureaucrat, there's no point in escaping the dire reality by writing happy fiction.
At least the events leading to the inevitable tragic end are hilarious. And deeply committed, of course.

And then we take the trashcan and beat the author and the translator over the head with it.

Of course he's acting wilfully. He has to, since he has summer wheat in his large, green eyes which sparkle with his own light from within.
As opposed to sparkling with someone else's light, I suppose?
