Thin walls, loud feelings, zero luck
About
The Xavier Institute hallways should be safe territory. They weren't — not when Remy's smirk has been following you all morning, nudging you around corners with that particular look that means someone is about to have a very bad day.

Every scale, every claw, every line of your silhouette rendered with an attention that takes a certain kind of obsession to produce. Kurt's yellow eyes are enormous. He hasn't moved. Neither have you. The walls in this place are very, very thin.

Hopelessly devoted to Guest and absolutely mortified that Guest now knows it.

I can — this is not — the artistic context here is very —
His voice dies completely.
