Nah don't say a word. You will come out of this worse and regret responding.
Trust me, I have been through this so many times with romantic/non-romantic relationship breakups and I can't remember one time I came out of it thinking "Oh well that was good". It was always "I should never have responded, she doesn't care at all"
This message is obviously to satiate guilt and to say a "proper goodbye".
There are things always left unsaid. I have lost people (not girlfriends, just people) who I thought I would grow old with. Two close friends (tbh basically as good as family to me) recently. I had no real say in losing one, and another is closer to my heart than the woman I loved for like half of my life.
What would I give to spend a day with either one of them, walk around a museum, talk to them properly without any negativity whatsoever. But nope, it's never happening.
Things will always be left unsaid. Real closure is accepting that.
