They all must've known each other growing up. There's a small bit of resentment on behalf of his counterpart when she calls him far too sickly to survive (feels like deja vu, like he's hearing the same words through an old, degraded recording) - but it's thoroughly quashed by the reality of her loss. He meets her gaze, that attempt at a smile of hers is like a knife in his side, and he can't force himself to do the same.

"I'm sorry, Peggy." The apology is beyond inadequate, then her name slips out without any of the formality he'd been trying to put between them - there's not much he can do. Not much of anything he can do for her right now but sit here and remind her of a dead person.
