34th Message - [Audio]

[The audio feed crackles to life. There are several moments of silence before Dulcie's voice can be heard. She sounds shaky, like someone on the edge of tears. She takes a deep breathe, and then-]

I'm sorry. For everything.

[She takes a deep breath, as though she's about to speak more. But before she can she speak any more, the audio cuts out.]

[Have an unfrozen and proper aged Charlie, about to say the hardest thing ever. Not just to Dulcie but just in general since she's never said it to anyone before.]

I forgive you.

[There. Though, that doesn't seem right. All is forgiven, sure, but...]

It was a curse and it wasn't your fault.

So people tell me, yeah.

[Thinking.] How big of a distraction do you need right now? Because I'm making cookies and wouldn't mind company. Entirely up to you, though.

Thanks, Charlie. I think I just... need some alone time for now.

[It was worth a shot though, right?]

You're welcome. And...for what it's worth...I blame whoever likes dropping curses on us. I don't blame you for a second.

[dulcisnuntius]

Yeah. Most people don't.

Y'know, if you ever need someone to talk to about anything, just find me. I'll listen and that's all. I know we've only spoken a couple times before this, but the offer is there.

Thanks, Charlie. You're a good person.
