Although jenn starts off her 'Illusions' series with this segment, chronologically, it is 3rd, taking place about a year and a half after the intense, horrific events of "All the Lights of the Soul." Rogue has become a bitter, manipulative alcoholic and junkie, using men and sex with no thought of love. She's almost a burnt-out shell here, and Logan still takes care of her,trying to get her away from the Mansion. It has become clear that the X-Men and Xavier can do nothing for ehr, and have actually exacerbated the situation for both her and Logan. At last, Logan's allowed to take her away for one last shot at salvaging what's left of the person she was, and I just wish we could have a more complete look at this road trip following the final segment, "Coping Mechanisms." With a closing line like "Either Marie comes back, or neither of us do," there's just to much drama still ahead for them to just let this story end with "Coping Mechanisms." She is still an addict, and still need to confront herself and Logan while they are away from the txic influence of the Mansion. I would love to challenge jenn or anyone on these boeards full of talented writers to continue the road trip following this segment and "Coping Mechanisms." These characterizations are just too riveting to let drop like this.
