When Tobias emerges from the Pool, the first thing he notices is the sunshine. It occurs to him that it was dark when he went down, and shouldn't he be worried about that? But after the hours spent trapped underground, with the hawk brain panicking about the lack of flying space and his own mind fluttering with all the possibilities of what could happen to him if he can't get out (killed, infested, forced to betray the others), he thinks he's probably lost all capability for rational thought. He retreats into the passenger seat, surrendering the wheel and letting hawk instincts drive. The sun feels so good, warming his back, and in the brightness he can see every detail of what's happening below, like the little girl stopped on the sidewalk with her head tilted back to watch him. He laughs in private thought-speech at the envy and awe on her face as he soars away. Swerving away over the town, he swoops in his bedroom window and lands on the bed.
When Tobias emerges from the Pool, the second thing he notices is that he's stuck.
