The One Where Of All The Things I've Lost... [video]

[They're in their room. One of them is drumming their fingers on their own knee. They stare into the communicator.]

...Okay, we don't get it.

[Scrad says.

They appear entirely sane. Because clearly they don't have a mind between them to lose.]

I can read it about as well as a puma's tail in a bonfire.

[He can't take it either, guys. He kind of hates it. He's planning on just leaving it at that.]

[Scrad is bouncing slightly with nervous energy. Charlie is not. Scrad's face is grim.]

You know what, Kay? We're sorry. What do you have to say to that?

[Charlie whips around to face his twin.]

We are? I mean, well, yeah we are.

[Scrad nods.]

We're sorry for everything we did. We're sorry about Ben, and Jay's back and, uh, your daughter.

[Charlie repeats.]

We're sorry about your daughter.

[They're both sounding pretty earnest about now.]

[He's snapped right into silence.

It's fortunate, because nothing he'd say would make sense. But, they're sorry? He was the one that got in the relationship he shouldn't have been in. He was the one who-

No. No he couldn't ever be apologetic for the existence of his daughter. As many times as he managed to save the Earth giving her a normal life on it had been just as important. He loves his daughter, and he loved her even when he didn't have her. So no, no it's not his fault for being personally involved. She doesn't deserve that.

She didn't deserve anything that happened to her. Not watching the man who raised her die. Not being ripped from her home. Not living without both parents. Not being kidnapped...]

He just clears his throat and cuts the feed. At least Scrad's done him a favor in fixing his attempts to talk. Now everything gets to bounce around in his head for a bit, because there's really not anything he can do with it.]

He hung up.

[Scrad states, obviously. Charlie rolls his eyes.]

What'd you expect?
