[He sighs, and runs his hands through his hair. How to put this . . .]
The one thing is, Erik's here. And this place - he doesn't deserve to be here.
The other thing is, Charles is here, and he's not leaving until Erik does.
And then the other big reason is . . . there are people here I need to be here for. Not just them, but Bruce, when he was here, he needed me, even after he graduated. [And Alex needed him, but that's not the point.] Jean, you might've met Jean, she's important. I couldn't leave Ben. And Pietro.
[Anya. Snow. Cass. Even Chris. There was no way he was just leaving them.]
This place makes me angry, the way it's set up, the way it's structured. The way things work around here sometimes. I'm not okay with not being here when people are locked up with nobody to advocate for them.
. . . I thought about staying home. But I think people could see [Darwin could see] I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did.
