( its a tough pill to swallow but jean can admit they have been... rash. that if the dream was sanctuary for all mutants than so must include rehabilitation. )

we didn't have all the information, you're right. but it's a cycle and cycles take two parts. i'm telling you⸺

⠀⠀⠀Ain't you just sweet .. I'm

( a pause, hesitating, as if the next part she isn't sure about. )

you can be more than that, y'know. what they... what we think of you.

⠀⠀⠀Ain't nothing I'm not used to ..

⠀⠀⠀as he had said ... )

it does not justify his every cruelty, his every villainous act but it paints them in new light. she shakes her head. )

no, wait⸺ i shouldn't have stayed. i just didn't know what i was looking at. ( a pause. ) it's... i'm sorry. no one deserves to witness that.

[𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃 ｡ @CLAWNFANG]

⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀I ... sorry you saw that ...
⠀⠀⠀Wasn't your pain to bear ..

⠀⠀( It wasn't hard to isolate the
⠀⠀⠀memory that she had seen
⠀⠀⠀to feel such that she can't
⠀⠀⠀look at him .. The same he
⠀⠀⠀can't seem to forget even
⠀⠀⠀after more than 200 years .. )

i think i can manage.

( she's been in his head before but this is the first time she traverses without brute force.

and perhaps it's that lack of initial defense that has her slipping into his whirlpool of memories, of their many fights, the beastial rage⸺
