From Sand and Ash

Angelo sends Eva on a mission to meet Aldo to pick up identification papers. She is to meet him at Sacred Heart afterward. Eva was late for her meeting with Aldo, and it was close to curfew when she finally saw him walking toward her. She hears a whistle, and Aldo passes by, whispering for her to keep walking. To keep her identity concealed, Eva doesn’t turn around. The person who whistled is Captain von Essen. Eva keeps moving until she finds a place to hide. Captain von Essen forces Aldo to expose himself, revealing his circumcision and that he’s Jewish. The captain shoots Aldo in the head. After the officers leave, Eva runs to Aldo, takes the documents, covers him, and then leaves.

Eva is late, and Angelo fears the worst. When she arrives at the church, she is in shock and has Aldo’s blood on her hands and dress. She tells Angelo what happened while he helps her wash, which requires him to remove her clothes. She is shaking, and he wraps her in blankets and holds her tightly. Desperation mixed with sadness overtakes Eva, and she throws off the blankets and tries to kiss Angelo, but he pushes her away.
