...from Logan's historical ties here. It's wishful thinking, but the less time we spend in Logan's... honestly, Orientalist past... (at least for me), the better.

Just Yukio and Mariko content from here on out, please. (I did love Yukio instructing Logan to remind Storm of her.)

...helping to bring it to a more fully satisfying conclusion.

Here, Mariko is allowed to be more than dutiful, but is instead a woman keenly aware she's operating in the world of men.

Logan's personal stake in this fight is also important and may end up being the death of him. (It won't.)
