[The front door to the GDF tower opens and a man walks out into brilliant sunshine. He flinches as the light hits his eyes and shades his face with one hand, looking around with almost a sense of curiosity, as if he's never seen this place before. Familiar faces head to and fro on business of their own, and soon he will have to join them, but for now he simply lets the moment wash over him.
His heart still ached, but you could only hide from the world for so long, and if you spent too much time looking at things through a bottle, eventually you stopped seeing the world and only saw the bottle.
Lyle Dylandy looked to the sky. He might have smiled a little bit.]
