It was just weird, how he stood there, stiff and not moving a muscle, something about the background made the whole thing just seem "off."
I think he had felt he had been near to defeat... the teen had been tougher than he expected, clearly, and had also succeeded in playing him, emotionally. And he had been trying to let go of Cora... yet she's the one he thought of. Then, by sheer fate alone, the teen died instead of Mick... I think it shook him up. So he did his job, he brought Ma and Pa Kettle back to their trampy daughter, but he was feeling intense feelings... and then he saw Beth and continued to feel strong stuff... but wasn't wanting to deal with them, so he turned and left.
That's how I always read it.
Nonetheless, that isn't why I like the picture. I just LIKE the picture. I REALLY like that picture.
