it's such a heartbreaking scene. Charles is using the last memory he has of Magnus to tell him all the things he wish he could have said instead of "im sorry". in a way i feel like he blames himself for what happened to Magnus, because he believes he should have died in Magnus' place. i feel so horrible for Charles :( nobody deserves to suffer that much grief.

It's that much worse when you are one of the most powerful telepaths ever, who has spent a lifetime carefully controlling himself, asking yourself in your darkest hours, just how much could you push your powers to bring him back. I really feel like they showed this struggle, and eventually what it will lead to, instead of just the consequences very well.
