You did have an advocate in me. You still do. [And he means it, even if there's a huge communication issue here, and even if Felix is still going to be playing the mutant card here.

It had been so much easier with Tony, in that he hadn't really cared what Charles could do. He still treated him like a person, not some adversary just waiting for the right moment to crush him under his heel.]

We didn't - it's likely we still don't - agree on how things should proceed, but that doesn't mean I think you're a monster, or that you deserve to be seen as the villain in this scenario, or that it's wrong that you want justice for what happened. Far from it. But I don't think it's just to have everyone here write you off as just another madman with a grudge to settle, and that's what would have happened if you had succeeded in killing him because people here are too often ridiculously narrow minded. It's not fair to you or the people he killed, and maybe you genuinely don't care about yourself, [And he wasn't sure he believed that.] but I know you care about them.
