This was everything I could have hoped for and more, m'dear. You get in Henry's head in a way that makes sense. Black and white science versus coloured reality. It's a lovely contrast.
And then you deliver the killing blow: He wanted to give her the world. And then she told him she did not want the world. Oh, goodness, ouch. That hit hard, fast, and well.
These two are perfectly tragic, and I've got to say that this feels so very right in the X-Men: First Class context. I was so choked by how the relationship between them got so very little, and how the fallout wasn't given a good deal of time...mainly because I wanted to ship them so hard. (I may still want to, even post-film. "Mutant, and proud," she tells him. She still cares for him and it's wonderful) Here, you give them -- and Henry specifically -- the moment they deserved. Thank you.
