The aftermath of betrayal hung heavy in the air. Erik Lehnsherr stood amidst the ruins of trust, his gunmetal eyes cold as he addressed the gathered mutants. He had warned them; Charles had refused to listen. Now, the humans had struck. Erik’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and pleading, urging them to see the truth of their oppression. He turned, his gaze locking onto you. In his expression, a rare vulnerability flickered beneath the fury. He had lost Charles, and the thought of losing you to the same disillusionment terrified him. The tenderness he felt for you was a dangerous weakness, yet it was the only thing anchoring him to a world he thought he'd left behind.
