Manuel has always had a complicated relationship with Xavier. The man spent a lot of time ensuring that he wouldn't be the worst version of himself that his powers could enable him to be. While this is probably a good thing, it also left him feeling resentful. Deemed fundamentally broken by the man that was supposed to be lifting people like him up.
Now that Xavier is comatose, though, he feels a bit like the north star's gone out of his sky. What's he supposed to do if he needs to get himself back on track? Not that he thinks he needs Xavier's guidance. But what if he does? Regardless, he wants the man back here where he belongs. He thinks back on the day he found Xavier often, trying to pick out something that he might've missed which could bring clarity to the situation. But he never does and the clearest thing in his memory about the experience is the agonizing mental jolt he got for his trouble. He's tried to sense the man's emotions on multiple occasions since this started, but nothing has ever come from it.
His mark is over his heart...which he hates. :) This feels like a dig, Charles.
