Back Home

Their stay in France had been the longest of the season so far, stretching beyond the usual schedule. But now, it was time to leave.

Luca had the advantage of traveling back to Berlin ahead of the team, thanks to his new routine which was flying on a private Hawthorne jet with Sara, Mallow, and the Hawthorne agents.

The evening before, he packed up his things in his suite, making sure nothing was left behind. After double-checking, he headed deep into the facility, where most of the team was still busy wrapping up final logistics for the trip back.

Luca spoke to them, saying his goodbye and how they'd reunite in Berlin the following day.

"Take care, man," McCauley said, patting his back.

The night passed quickly as Sara and Mallow didn't make a big deal out of the situation, treating it like any other evening, which helped ease Luca's mind against everything that was unfolding.
