Hex left the shop with a heavy heart. His mother's plan, ingenious as it sounded, only elevated his worries.
Before meeting her, he worried more about his safety and how to escape the clutches of Orosol.
If he followed his mother's plan, he risked exposing his greatest secret. Not only would it paint a target on his back, he also risked losing all current and future allies.
In the end she promised to leave it up to him. It would be his choice. To flip or not. She wouldn't force him.
And he believed her. Though, it opened another can of questions. If he chose to abandon the plan, what then? What would she do then?
Because there was no doubt in Hex's mind that she would try something. Everything she had done so far and everything she would do from here on, all had a purpose.
She wouldn't just leave a fragment of her soul for nothing. It wasn't a mere coincidence she possessed someone the one time he was around.
