The て form is used at the end but not for a request. It doesn't seem to be one
of those cases where the order of the words is simply "inverted" either, so
what's the nuance behind the て form in this case?

て form at end of phrase but not being used for requests
Te-form at the end of a sentence can be:

  1. Request marker 
    * [What does the final て in 待ってて signify?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/948/5010)
  2. Reason marker 
    * [Why is there て form at the end of the sentence?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/48946/5010)
  3. Simple "continuation" marker used to indicate the current story continues 
    * [What exactly is this でね construction?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/11950/5010)

> で is usually used to connect to phrases, but when the speaker is too excited
> about the first part already, s/he wants to affirm it with ね

    * [でございまして in this sentence?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/54376/5010)

> For that reason, you will keep encountering "sentences" ending with
> conjunctions and verbs/adjectives in the te-forms for as long as you study
> Japanese. We call those 「言いさし表現」.

    * [Meaning of てさ after て form](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/42650/5010)

In this case, it's 3. This te-form is used to keep the listener's attention by
indicating this is not the end of his story and he has something more to say
about it.
