[Charles might not have cried up until now from sheer emotional exhaustion, but he always has tears in him. He wasn't called the crybaby for nothing...
And now, as he hears Diva's voice - familiar again, as it should be - he can already feel his throat constrict like an invisible hand has wrapped around it. How could he have forgotten? How, how, how could he have possibly forgotten? The one, single person that he had built his identity around, that he owed everything to, and he had cared as much for her as he would have cared for any stranger off the street. It's hard to swallow.
It's also hard to speak, and he raises his hand to quickly try wiping at his eyes since of course the tears are spilling over. Diva looks lovely as ever even though she's - dead? Whatever it is they are now, and he doesn't want to embarrass himself any further than he has. God, if she remembers as much as he does about that complex, he's really got a lot to apologize for.
So that's the first word out of his mouth as he darts over to meet her at the fence.]
I'm sorry— I'm sorry, I forgot... I had forgotten everything.
