Obviously he wanted to go to Ellie.
The Toppats were much more hospitable than the government.
Perhaps he was letting his heart drive.
Logically, he should go back to the government.

He always wanted to make the government proud.
But...
He shook his head.
He couldn't keep going around, switching his opinion around so much.

Charles slowly walked towards the General.
The Toppats looked...

He slowly felt the metal grooves of the gun in his fingers.

He loved him in a way that Charles had never seen before.

He didn't know if it was platonic, or...
Something else.
And everyone else there...
Was Henry's clan.
