Nah, it tracks. In a bizarre, backwater country where homosexuality is persecuted, it is possible that the kidnapper (perhaps both men)....to borrow from your words...enjoy acting on the tip. 😏

Things aren't always as they appear & we might not know the truth. We know only what they tell us. A man being restrained in a sheep pen for 26 years? A man "put under his captor's spell"? At this point, it is remotely plausible that this great war was seen as an opportunity to run away from his family, disappear entirely & be presumed dead, to live with his lover that he knew. ¯\(°_o)/¯
