The atmosphere was clearly different as they sat back to the car, and Hector immediately noticed it. It was sad, it wasn't dark, but it was just… empty. James' face was just still, that unreadable one, while Charlotte was still that childish one.
Hector couldn't really tell what had happened in front of Rafel and Hans. He watched them as they knelt there, but he couldn't tell if James could truly say goodbye and, honestly, he didn't need to know
It was between them how it was supposed to go, and he wasn't even worried about James and his emotions… because he knew that there wasn't any or even if there was a drop of emotion that might surface, he would surely have Charlotte on his side… a child who is a whole different world for him.
Moreover, Hector knew, or well, he had a card that would change the atmosphere in a second, and he was ready to use it.
