Consider a cubic surface cut out by equations $x^2y - z^2w$ inside $\mathbb{P}^3$. This gives a cubic surface with a line of nodes, it is toric and has normalisation $\mathbb{F}_1$, a Hirzebruch surface.
My confusion is two fold, I am having difficulty spotting which two torus invariant lines of $\mathbb{F}_1$ are being glued together.
In addition I would like to understand how this degeneration works with respect to the 27 lines on a cubic surface and see where degenereate to.
** Edit:** Sasha's answer has made me delete some of my post as it has clarified why it is wrong, and now it is unhelpful and long.
