Little things, things that in France would have been unremarkable, but since he’d left January had had to lower his expectations. Sefton's conversation, the music, and the gin were like pieces of Paris returned to him – a Paris that hadn't been destroyed by Ayasha's death. First meetings for Benjamin, Hannibal, and Rose. (Set pre-canon, but taking off from the flashback scene at the beginning of Days of the Dead where Ben and Hannibal meet.)

Ben still has a scar, a pale twist of flesh on the inside of his arm. He doesn't remember what the mark looked like before Livia burned it off. He only knows that she has a similar scar; hers is on her upper arm, made by a mother or grandmother or auntie in that long-ago, hard-to-imagine time when she, too, was a child.It is something that was done for every child on the plantation.
