Summary
It’s up to Matthew to make sure no one at the 1956 Winter Olympics finds out Alfred just gave himself retrograde amnesia with his latest stunt, and somehow hide the fact Alfred thinks and acts like it’s the year 1790.
Above all else, Matthew has to make sure America’s current rival, the USSR, doesn’t uncover this fact.

Summary
Marco Bodt has a problem. He has the biggest hero complex out there, and though it gains him friends he isn’t thought of kindly by the police: they don’t appreciate a scruffy wannabe bohemian trying to do their job. He helps people, and then he vanishes. But when he saves a rather hostile man from being mowed down by an over-enthusiastic bus driver on the streets of Trost, he doesn’t get the reaction he expects. He gets shouted at for helping, for saving, and realises that sometimes people don’t want to be saved, or worse still, don’t think they should be.
He also begins to find that no matter how hard he tries, he can't pull himself away from the one person who destroyed his universe... and then put it together again.
One thing's for certain: it's going to be a hard pill to swallow.
