“It’s nice to meet you Henry.”

Neal finding a place as far away from them as possible, making sure he can't possibly get to them if the curse hits, and once he knows they're safe, at least from, which is all he can do (because there's always only so much he can do to help them and he hates it), that's when he lets himself lose it. That's when he lets himself be scared of what the spell will make him say and do and think, that's when he lets himself feel how fucking unfair it is that he had to say goodbye to them again, that's when he gets to be scared shitless that his son and the woman he loves are in danger.
