Oruche is a visionary,’ said Julian. ‘Her work is unparalleled. There’s nobody in film who’s doing what she’s doing. And you know – I don’t say that often.’ So what else would Achike do, but sing?

And how he fed him. Ekene often dreamed about Achike when he was gone. He was gone too much.

The rest of the cast and crew of Here Again Now had spent time together in hotels, but now that Ekene was home from Berlin – now that Oskar was gone – Achike could only race home to see him after every day of shooting. Who knew when either one of them might disappear again? Any more distance between them would be too much. The material of their relationship was already so fragile, and it might disintegrate one day, if the two of them found themselves in different cities, countries, hemispheres. It was for this reason that, as soon as Ekene had asked to stay with Achike while he looked for work and a place of his own, Achike had told him, ‘yes’.
