[ Charles is feeling many things about this, none of them good, all of them guilty or regretful, but worried above all things. In truth, he's glad Scott replied to him in the first place, but what to say or do to make this better is beyond him.]
I don't want you to be alone.
I know he's Magneto, but I also know that Erik cares for you, and he was upset about your situation. Would you consider reaching out to him if you have no one else?
[ The mention of Erik surprises Scott a little. While he's generally fine with the guy, and actually managed to let him in that one time, he's one of the last person he'd want to confide in or turn to. Even when he doesn't doubt Charles' words. ]
I don't think so.
I'm fine alone. [ Sorry, Charles. He's going to be pretty stubborn about this. ]
[ Scott almost replied another I know to Charles' text, but he ultimately deletes it, and chooses not to reply at all. Sorry Charles. It's hard to remember he's not alone when he feels like he is, consumed by a kind of grief and anger he can't quite get a hold of. Can't quite fathom during some days.
In the end, he's just not ready to come out of being a hermit. Not when his misery clouds his judgment. ]
