Summary
This new Francis Crozier’s soft strangeness, borne out of the weeping that cuts him open sometimes still, has been James' slow but avid everyday study for nearly a year in Nantucket, in London, on the ocean, on this their un-Englished white-cliff coast. That it can make him angry all in a rush, like the old Francis' liquored petulance used to do, unsteadies him.
A few uncertain months into their self-imposed exile, Francis and James have a petty argument and make up the best way they're beginning to know how.

Michael, with his aimless reaching, with his whisper of a five o’clock shadow and his gaunt hollow face that looks more Sicilian — it is only men that strike Tom as Sicilian, not in the sense of where they come from but what he’s been taught a man should embody — with every counted week of artificial change, is so swallowed up by the hospital bed it makes him a stranger.
Set in 1939.

Summary
Caliban is suddenly hyper-aware of the little details Logan’s left in his space — his unfinished coffee mug, the bloody tissues and empty T-gel sachets in the garbage. As if Magneto can sniff these things out as well as him. “How good of him,” he remarks, settling again on Caliban with his calm grey stare and pointedly, it feels, not asking where he fits into the equation. “Where is Charles?”
After the Westchester disaster, Logan wants Charles Xavier out of the country. Erik Lehnsherr, newly escaped from prison, has other ideas.
