SERGINO READS LORENZO’S enthusiastic reply while sitting in the business-class lounge: “Williamsburg next week is ok! Exited!” (No c). Sergio accepts his friend’s request and puts him on the restricted list, so that he can post whatever he wants about him.

So Sergino calls the detective and asks him to find out if Lorenzo is in Rome. “I don’t know the address. It’s fine if you can’t find him.” As he gives him instructions, he sends an email with the victim’s Facebook profile link.

“So what do I get in return?”

“Love,” Sergio whispers.

BEFORE TURNING OFF his phone for the Milan–London flight, Sergio stares out at the runway and tweets, “First class.”

AFTER CLEARING CUSTOMS in Ireland, he pulls the curtains closed, stretches his legs in his pod with his wine and his iPad film selection and his thirty drops of Xanax, and surrenders himself to the sky. He thinks of his mother, feels his blood warm up, smacks a kiss with his thin lips, and if the sun is bright and the clouds are dark on the bottom and golden on top, he sheds a tear while the drug kicks in.
