Question

hello, mas. zylberberg. could i speak to anja?

vladek forgot to communicate with anja and is feeling remorseful.
he did not call anja, and he feels angry she did not call him.
he cares about anja and is worried that she no longer wants to speak to him.
he was happy to no longer have communication with anja

Explanation:

This is a panel from Maus, a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman. Vladek (the mouse character) reaching out to Anja shows he still has concern for her. The act of initiating contact to speak with her, paired with the context of their complex relationship, indicates he cares about her and would be anxious if she did not want to connect. The other options do not align: there's no sign of forgetfulness/remorse, anger, or relief at lost communication.

Answer:

He cares about Anja and is worried that she no longer wants to speak to him.
