[Ritsuka POV]

Ritsuka stepped into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. He took a deep breath, feeling the comforting warmth of the steam as he ran the water into the tub. He lowered himself into it, letting the hot water soak into his muscles, releasing the tension he'd been carrying. With the events of yesterday swirling in his mind, he finally let himself relax, if only for a moment.

' Everything's been moving so fast… the prophecy revelation, the plans with the team. I figured everyone could use a break, so I gave them the day off over at Fou's Delight Bakery. Even Fou seemed happy about it.'

Ritsuka leaned his head back against the tub's edge, his gaze drifting to the ceiling. His mind wandered back to a moment he rarely brought up but often reflected on.

' It's strange when I think about it… That YouTuber's consciousness vanished from my body after he summoned Morgan using me and my body. And yet, his memories—the things he knew about this Marvel world—stayed with me. Thanks to him, I know things here that no one else does. His knowledge... it's been invaluable.'

But there was so much still to come. Ritsuka could almost feel the weight of the future looming over him. He took a slow breath, his mind drifting to people who would soon be caught up in that future.

'There are so many villains on the horizon… but right now, there's one story I'd like to look out for—the one between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. I know this year will be the year Peter becomes Spider-Man. Thankfully, he, Gwen, Ned, and their friends have become regulars at Fou delight's. If I keep an eye out, I'll know when they're planning their college project visit to Norman Osborn's lab. I'll be ready when that moment comes.'

Ritsuka remembered how he'd even arranged a job for Peter. The kid worked hard and always had a hopeful look on his face, like he hadn't yet seen the darkness of the world.

' I gave Peter a special pass, letting him join us part-time. It feels right, making sure he has a stable job. And adding an online order service to the bakery… yeah, it was a good idea for more reasons than one.'

As Ritsuka closed his eyes, a sharp memory surfaced, one that struck him every time he thought of it.

' I can't just let Ben Parker be killed. Peter doesn't need to go through that tragedy for the sake of some character development or "hero arc" nonsense. Ben deserves to live, and Peter deserves to have him.'

His thoughts turned darker as he considered his own abilities.

' I'm fortunate to be able to scan all of New York. Practicing and training with these Dark Phoenix powers—it's been intense, but it lets me see things others don't.'

A memory flashed in his mind from one of his scans. He had seen the mutants—mutated children hiding in the underground drainage systems of New York. The sight had torn at his heart.

'Those children… the ones hiding because of their X-gene mutations. They're just kids, and yet they live in the shadows, scared of the world around them. When I found them, they looked at me as if expecting hatred or fear. But I couldn't. I just… I couldn't.'

He'd gone to them, offering comfort with love, showing them that he bore no hatred for who they were. Their eyes had softened, filling with cautious hope. With gentle words, he'd taken them to Xavier's school, knowing it was a place they could finally find some peace.

'How many others are out there, hiding, afraid, or… worse? Taking their own lives before they even have a chance to see what life could offer.'

Ritsuka opened his eyes, his gaze steeling with determination.
