[The end of the physical contact is a relief in a way that it hasn't been for quite a while. At the same time it hurts, because he knows it's the last time Bond will be anywhere close to him for a very long time. One of these feelings is normal; one is abnormal. He chooses to embrace the abnormal one, because normalcy feels a thousand miles away right now.]
[Trying to imagine Bond growing up, Bond as a child, is too bizarre to contemplate. So Cassel doesn't, just lets the information sit on the very top level of his brain and moves smoothly past it.]
So you want me to come visit some place you blew up? Jackass.
