[He feels like he just witnessed someone's personal journey happen in five seconds. Maybe, normally, Scott would give a small if understanding smile, because he gets it and this is just a little amusing seeing Charles come to his big realization, but that emotion still feels brittle and far away. Everything's still too close to the surface.
There's something a little less angry in him though. Like... this is kind of nice to hear, even if Charles and his boyfriend or 'close companion' are dead.]
...Dead and together. That isn't the worst outcome if you still see him every day.
[...Is he jealous? No, okay, maybe a little, but it's mostly covered by the fact that Scott looks mostly glad for Charles. He's truly happy for them that they can spend the afterlife together, as terrible as it is that Charles died at a young age. That much is a certain tragedy that brings out that sympathy in Scott, along with a certain anger about the potential injustice that may have led to his end. Even if it's just natural causes.]
Each day feels worth living. [Even if they are dead, he can imagine that being around his partner makes him feel alive. It's how Scott would feel.]
