Flashback. In 1927, Jack (by all evidence a future version, not stuck on [[The Slow Path]]) was on a mission in the USA. At immigration, a handsome young Italian named Angelo tried to steal his identity.

1927. Jack and Angelo found an apartment in New York, Little Italy. [[There Is Only One Bed|There was only one bed]]. Jack quite magnificently seduced Angelo, and after one rather nice sex scene, Angelo was surprised to learn that gay sex could also be followed by gay cuddles and gay pillow talk. Jack showed him the tenderness and love that Angelo never got from his catholic community.
