It could happen. I'm not even sure why Haro was with me when I arrived. He had orders to take my Gundam back to the ship after... [He frowned. Had Haro come back for him? Is that why he was close enough to be taken, too? Or was that just some small mercy the system had granted him?]
[There was a warm smile on his face, almost a little sad. Something about the way Lyle said that urged Lockon's hand to come up and rest on Lyle's shoulder. It was just such a good feeling, to be able to reach out and touch someone who had been so far away, for such a long time.] It's... good to be back, Lyle. [He didn't say "it was good to see you, too". This way, his words held more meaning. In a sense, he had left Lyle, and this was just one way he could hope to apologize for it.]
