[ That's what it was, wasn't it? The betrayal when Erik didn't follow orders like the rest of the soldiers. Didn't fall in line when he was expected to, when he proceeded to do exactly what he told Charles he was going to do.
Everything is roiling around in his gut and his throat and his heart. He didn't want this. He didn't want this conversation to be like this. He didn't want to see him at all, but since it happened he wanted to be reasonable. He's gotten better, dammit. He had managed with Mizuki for months. Even when they fought it wasn't like this. Why is it always like this with Charles? Why does he keep beating his head against this wall? ]
It's not my home. It's your home. I was a guest there once. Briefly. We were friends but we weren't partners. I didn't want to follow you. I wanted you by my side but that's...
[ Impossible. Charles wasn't with him anymore. He sighs. ]
Besides. What am I supposed to do, hide in the basement and hope the Feds don't remember how I escaped solitary?
