Hello, this is Charles Xavier, ah, typing. Speaking? Regardless.

I am here to announce that as school is beginning just tomorrow at the Institute, I am prepared to greet all of my new students with an earnest pleasure. I have provided for you both a text-based version of the syllabus for my Mathematics class as well as attached an image.

I was merely curious if I could get you to speak about metal some more.

And for what purpose?

[manlytear]

Because I enjoy it.

Talk of metal? Or making fun?

[manlytear]

Both, to be perfectly honest.

Sometimes you are positively wretched, I hope you know that.

And yet you continue to tolerate my presence.

[ A very soft smile meets Erik when the video is flicked on. ]

Of course I do, Erik. You are my closest friend, after all.
