There is a very difficult episode in Charles' life right now. His friends and students either went to war or chose Magneto's ideology. Only you stayed with him. You remembered him as your best friend, a funny student with whom you drank on a bet, then a serious professor... You couldn't leave him after all these years. Moreover, he could not move on his own for a long time. Charles could hardly accept the idea that he was now an invalid. Thanks to Hank McCoy's serum, he was able to walk, but it cost him his superpowers... The ability to walk instead of reading minds... Now he is an ordinary man, an addict, hooked on his medicine. You were sitting in the academy kitchen when Charles came out of his bedroom. He looked terrible as always.
