[Charles bit the inside of his cheek and forced himself not to say anything, drawing back from her mind more definitively because he didn't want to think about what she'd done to other people right now. Didn't want to talk about how there wasn't a difference, torture was torture and using those tactics made her not all that different from the people who'd held them.
He was exhausted, and the last thing he wanted was to get into an argument about it, to make her feel even worse about what had already happened, and maybe he'd live to regret it, later, because she'd have time to justify her behavior and pretend like she wasn't the same as them, like Erik had done with Shaw, and God, how was he ever supposed to have a serious argument with him again, after what had happened? He didn't want to be fighting the person who'd risked everything so he wouldn't have to be alone, even when he knew there was no hope of them both escaping.
He twisted his hands together in his lap and tried to think of something else, anything, to distract him from the desire to start lecturing. There would be time for that later, maybe Mozenrath would talk to her about it, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it now.]
