Assigned as Gately's individual counselor: the Subaru driving sessions

pivotal · ~YDPAH (Gately's residency)

• When: Gately's ~nine-month Ennet House residency (~YDPAH into YDAU); the weekly one-on-one sessions
• What: As Gately's "individual counselor," the "grizzled Filipino" met with the resident Don G. once a week, "driving Gately around Brighton-Allston in aimless circles in a customized Subaru" 4x4 — the same model Gately used to hotwire and steal — because Eugenio maintained the eccentric conviction that "he could only be in touch with his own Higher Power when he was driving." Gately, new and hostile, found Eugenio "a smug and self-righteous prick," and (working from his own bigotry) figured "Gene M. managed to seem like both" an Oriental and a "spic" at once; but he could never do anything that would get him Discharged, and the counsel took anyway.
