[ He shakes his head. Charles isn't dying but he no longer believes he is the drive behind the his dreams. He has shared them with his students and they've taken it up. The X-Men. While he doesn't like the idea of violence, he understands the need for defense.

And it's important not to control every aspect of his vision, whether it belongs to him or not. ]

I've seen it and I certainly believe it.
