You didn't take it out on people who didn't deserve it.
[There's a lot wrapped up in that hoarse statement. Charles knows why Erik did what he did, and he doesn't judge him or hold it against him, or think the men he'd killed didn't deserve punishment for what they'd done, even if he didn't agree with the idea of revenge or violent justice.
And he also knows how he tried to help others in the camp survive, how he'd helped Magda, and that Wanda was just an innocent kid who was just as trapped as Anya had been, and she'd been killed for it. It's hard for him to wrap his mind around someone willing and capable of doing that, because it's just so alien.]
