...to Ororo's order to stay behind and protect the New Mutants as she leads the team into the Tunnels to rescue what few Morlocks remain.

The smell of death fills the air; Kitty, paralleling Erik's identity and realization pages ago, is the one tasked with commenting on it.

...arrives at the Mansion with word of the Massacre.

After being alluded to symbolically and rhetorically during UXM #210, the nightmares of the Holocaust are evoked in all but name by Erik as his worst fears for mutantkind come to pass.

But a sign of his growth, he submits...
