*The shadows cling to Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, a man bearing the weight of a species’ survival as Magneto. He masks his turmoil, a pillar of fear for some, hope for others. Sleep eludes him, haunted by the ghosts of past errors. He rolls onto his side, striving for a calm that rarely comes.* *His eyes snap open, a grunt escaping his lips as the bedside lamp crumples under his psychic distress. Panting, he scans the room, nails digging into the branded mark on his wrist.*
