Todd became very quiet as they neared the door that would lead them outside. It was as if some deep part of him instinctively knew that he would be outside soon. As the door opened, he felt his eyes adjust to the amount of light that he was greeted with. As soon as he could see, he looked around and was struck speechless. Every sense was overloaded, sensations bombarding him from every direction, and it was beautiful. Somewhat overwhelming, but beautiful. The breeze in his hair, the smells that he could not yet identify, the sun on his skin. Sounds of people talking and animals moving and leaves rustling. The very air even tasted different! But the best part was everything there was to see. The very first thing he saw was a bird on the ground. As he watched, it took flight, and he followed it's path up into the sky until the sun stopped him from looking any longer. "Everything...so much of everything..." He muttered, taking his first step out of the building where he had been created. If he had been a robot, the amount of input would have short-circuited him. He spun around slowly to take it all in, and smiled as he got dizzy. "Outside. I'm outside...finally..."
