Strange to thing of it that way, to be the one to forge the connection and therefore break it. He's never actually tried to break it, just to command others not to listen to him. He stares at Xavier as if he's just said the most brilliant thing a person could ever hope to say.

"I-- Yes." Of course, this sort of thing takes practice but after a lot of visualization, after a lot of sweat-inducing stress and even a few tears (which has to look strange on camera as he and Xavier hadn't been speaking for almost two hours), Mohinder manages to do it.

The string is gone. The connection is broken.

He kind of wants to throw up.
