Subject: I have a problem
And it's very, very serious.
I've been in consultation with Charles, and he has helped me to realize something very, very important. Marie-Ange brought it to my attention.
I have a ... problem, with the way I See. It is very hard to explain, but from what Professor Xavier tells me I am having significant difficulty seeing any emotion that sane people would label as positive or beneficial.
The bad stuff? Jumps out at me right away. Anger, fear, depression, jealousy - these are quick. Easy. Familiar to me. I see them easily.
Things like hope? Pleasure? Love? Friendship? These should be just as simple to see, just as easy, but they're not. I can completely miss them and not even realize that they are _there_.
I ... felt all of you should know, as the few people here whom I can legitimately call a friend. Or, in Amanda's case, more than that.
I'm not asking for forgiveness, and I'm not trying to excuse anything at all. But I need help.
Desperately.
And I don't know how to fix it.
I'm working with Charles and Dr Samson, and will be for the foreseeable future. All I can ask, all I -dare- ask from any of you is patience. Understanding. Tolerate my bad moods, my suspicious nature. I need for all of you to be there for me, when I have been so terrible at being there for you.
Please.
There is one other thing that I must ask. I must ask that this not become common knowledge. It is difficult enough for me to come to all of you like this. I do not believe that I could handle such an outpouring from the rest of the students here.

Jeeze, Manuel, that's really, really rough. I don't know what I can do, but please know that if there is anything I will.
And don't worry, I won't tell.
