You’d think Michael would have looked into mutant studies more, seeing as he is one. But even over the last few months his disconnect from the community hasn’t changed much; most of his time is invested in either his job or practicing his abilities (so that he can keep his job). Any leftover hours are devoted to wandering aimlessly around town or attempting to sleep.
It seems like Wolfgang is interested enough for both of them, though—interrogating strangers, holing up in District X, digging around their shop for research papers or something. Do they do this every time they see someone’s abilities? Must be exhausting now that they live in a place like this and do what they do.
